<strong>Stockton</strong>
We are sailing... and you could be too!
Think of Adult Education
- it might conjure up
images classrooms
and flower arranging,
pottery or learning a
new language - but
very soon, right here in
<strong>Stockton</strong>, you can leave
the classroom behind and
get out on to the River
Tees with some fantastic
water sport courses.
Starting in early May, at the
Castlegate Quay Watersports
Centre, just off the Riverside
Road, you can try your hand at
sailing, canoeing and kayaking
for beginners, as Tees Active
Ltd with Tees Achieve bring the
fantastic courses through Adult
Education.
The six week courses, to be held
on evenings between 5.30pm –
7.30pm are through the Royal
Yachting Association and British
Canoe Union where you will
receive expert tuition by fully
qualified instructors.
Learning these great sills in
such a tremendous location is
so exciting and can lead onto
bigger and better challenges.
For example, imagine being
able to try out your new skills
at the Tees Barrage White
Water Course - due to be open
towards the end of the year!
You could learn a new skill to
take with you on holiday and
rule the waves as absolutely
everything is provided. All you
need to bring is a change of
clothes and bags of enthusiasm!
Application packs will soon be
available from Tees Achieve - to
find out more or to register,
give them a ring on (01642)

questions on the scheme

Watersports Centre on (01642)
