New Zealand’s Best Kept Secret<br />
The Yakity Yak<br />
Many of the articles you are reading in this magazine are about trips<br />
organized by the Yakity Yak Club.<br />
Interested in Joining up?<br />
Well read on and get involved<br />
“Too old” you say or “not fit enough” or “don’t like clubs because of the working<br />
bees and committee meetings”. Well guess what, our oldest member is 80 plus<br />
and started paddling in the last two years. Can you walk? well then you can<br />
paddle, in fact that’s not correct we have had members with a missing leg or<br />
two, but you get the picture. The only committee meetings we have are a wine<br />
and cheese evening once a month to arrange trips. There are no secretaries or<br />
treasurers. We just discuss where to go next and who is coming. These trips are<br />
viewed on www.canoeandkayak.co.nz and booked at your local <strong>Canoe</strong> & <strong>Kayak</strong><br />
Centre<br />
Join the club. You will get a weekend skills course to teach you techniques<br />
and safety skills and a year’s membership. If you are keen to learn more there<br />
is a bunch of courses to teach everything from Eskimo Rolling to becoming an<br />
instructor. At no cost is the Leader’s Training Course, ten weeks part time for<br />
those who have the urge to put something back into the club.<br />
So what does joining the club cost? Only $299 for the first year including the<br />
weekend course and then only $45 per subsequent year thereafter.<br />
