About us
Pinkston Panthers is a volunteer-run canoe and kayak club and a registered Scottish charity, opening up paddle sport to everyone in Glasgow and the West of Scotland.
A club for every paddler
We run a coached club night every Wednesday, all year round, that caters for complete beginners right up to serious competitors. We also arrange training sessions at other sites in Scotland and in England, mainly for members who want to compete, and we run slalom competitions as part of British Canoeing's National Ranking Races.
The club has no paid staff. Everything is done by a team of volunteers: coaches, race organisers, safety cover, drivers and parents.
Our charitable purpose
Our purpose is the advancement of public participation in the sport of canoeing, kayaking and other paddle sports. We do this by:
- encouraging all prospective and current members to contribute to the development of the sport and the club, in line with their abilities and aspirations;
- making facilities available in Glasgow, the West of Scotland and elsewhere in Scotland to increase participation;
- providing and making available training in paddle sports;
- working in partnership with other bodies to advance these purposes.
