Lee Valley Paddlesports Club is managed by the General Committee, established in December 2013 to form and run the Club.

As the Club continues to evolve we also operate sub-committees to coordinate aspects of the Club’s activities and deliver our paddle sport priorities. These sub-committees comprise 3 members holding officer roles for the sub-committee as a maximum, but will involve members more widely to help deliver the remit of the sub-committee.
Any vacancies on the Committee are shown in the table above and will be advertised on our social media and in our weekly membership newsletter. For further information on any of the vacancies, please contact either the Chairperson or the Secretary. We look forward to hearing from you.
More details on how the committees work can be found in the Club’s Constitution.
