Some brilliant news for the club! 🎉

A massive congratulations to one of our founding members Matthew McQuaid on successfully completing his **Canoeing Ireland Level 2 Kayak Instructor** assessment! 👏🚣

From those first river adventures to helping build the club in its early days, and continuing to give his time and support both on and off the water, this is a thoroughly deserved achievement.

Your dedication, commitment and passion for paddlesports have been a huge part of Monaghan Paddlers, and it's fantastic to see your hard work and perseverance rewarded.

Here's to many more adventures on the water and helping the next generation of paddlers build their skills and confidence.

Well done, Mat! 💙

What an evening to celebrate three well-earned Canoeing Ireland Level 2 Kayak Skills certificates! 👏

Congratulations to Irene, Sean and Ruby on a fantastic achievement. 🔥🔥🔥

A year ago, Ruby became our very first junior paddler when she took to the water alongside her mum, Keren. Her determination and consistency since then have been incredible, and now, at just 10 years old, she's proudly receiving her Level 2 Kayak Skills certificate.

Sean joined one of our recent Level 2 Skills courses at the age of 12 alongside his mum, Roisin. Now he's out paddling with both his mum and brother, showing everyone how it's done!

Irene joined us on one of our recent Adult Beginners courses and hasn't missed a weekly club session since. Her commitment and enthusiasm have been outstanding.

Congratulations to all three on a fantastic achievement—we're incredibly proud of you all! 🚣🏅
