The club has been working with the Calder Rivers’ Trust to test and record water quality on our home waters for over a year. The results are being used to evidence and highlight poor water quality and campaign for cleaner rivers. We’ve featured on Look North and hosted a visit by our New MP, Kate Dearden – it’s all helping to make a difference.
We’d now like to add to this evidence by monitoring the impact of water quality on our members health as we know people are sometimes ill after taking a swim in the Calder. If you are ill and the likely cause is paddling, please fill in our new monitoring form. The information will only be used anonymously to support the evidence we are compiling about water quality.
While the focus of this is on illness after paddling on our home waters, it can be used to record illness from paddling elsewhere too.
Access the form here or scan the QR code to go to the form.
There is also a poster in the Club House with a QR code.
Also a date for you diary – the next River Clean Up morning is this Saturday 30 November, 9.30am-12.30pm.
Please let us know if you can make it so we know numbers.
Sign up for this on Web Collect. River Clean Up
