As you are aware Deva Canoe Club has been awarded Champion Club status by British Canoeing for our commitment to environmental sustainability! 🎉🛶🌍

Yesterday, we were joined by MP Samantha Dixon and Chantelle Grundy from British Canoeing to celebrate this achievement and do our bit for the local community. Not only did the MP present us with the Champion Club plaque, but she also wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty and helped us pick up litter along the river bank. 💪🚯

A big thank you to all our club members and everyone who joined us for the clean-up event. Together, we collected numerous bags of litter and even found some unusual items including a blow-up doll, a full wheel complete with tire, and a sailor's hat! 🤔

We're committed to promoting environmental sustainability and protecting our local waterways, and we'll continue to lobby Welsh Water to improve the water quality of the River Dee and clear invasive species such as Pennywort. 🌱

Thank you to MP Samantha Dixon and Chantelle Grundy for their support and for getting their hands dirty with us as we worked towards our goal of environmental sustainability and protecting our local waterways. We hope to see more groups like ours taking action to help make our waterways safer and cleaner for everyone! 💙🛶
