This is the booking page for the Thursday Thames session.
This session will always run unless there are not enough attendees, there are no leaders available, in periods of extreme weather conditions, or we get advance notice of a sewage discharge into the Thames. In order to ensure the weekly evening session runs you must add your name to this list BEFORE 5 PM on the day of the session.
Please try and be at the Centre by 7.20pm (or thereabouts). If you are running late or for later changes – text the session leader listed to advise of the change, preferably at least 30 minutes before the scheduled start time. We generally like to be on the water promptly but we may be able to wait for a short while.

Guest paddlers are welcome on Thursday night sessions. However, these sessions are not suitable for people with no or limited paddling experience please refer to Trip and Session Guidelines. Guest sessions cost £10 per session and you must sign the Thames Sessions Guest Register each time you attend. You must also join the Club after three guest sessions if you want to continue to paddle with us. Guest paddlers wishing to paddle should send an email to info@chelseakayakclub.co.uk before registering for the session.
Please sign-up if you would like a place and will require use of boats and equipment. The first 9 people who sign up definitely get a spot. The next places are in reserve and will depend upon safety / leader cover on the night so please ensure you include your phone number so that you can be contacted.

PLEASE NOTE:
- Please make sure you read the Port of London Authority’s (PLA’s) General and Night Navigation Advice for Canoes and Kayaks. It is also advisable to read the Code of Practice for rowing on the Tidal Thames above Putney which details local navigation rules for vessels under oars, which are considered to include canoes and kayaks.
- Lights are required when paddling in the evenings after dark. Bring appropriate torches with you if you have them (e.g. head torches which can strapped to buoyancy aids) as the Club currently only has a limited number – see also PLA Guidelines on Visibility and Lighting.
- Follow any specific instructions that are given by the session leader, such as getting on the water and group management.
- Neoprene spraydecks are available.
- Please look after any kit that is borrowed – treat it as if it is your own.
- Consider bringing a bottle of water with you – especially in periods of warmer weather given the distances that are covered on the session.
- Even when in a group with an experienced paddler, everyone on the river is responsible for their own safety, keeping a look out and navigating in a correct manner to avoid collisions or causing a collision, etc.
- Failure to comply with PLA rules can result in you being fined £5,000.
