| Club Facilities
Behide this unassuming exterior within the mill complex we have good facilities including changing rooms, showers, somewhere to make tea, and storage for club equipment. Members can get a key to the club house for a small deposit, and for an annual charge boat storage for members is available - although space is limited.
On the Water Facilities
The drops on the course provide good play spots and this is section is used three times a year for slalom competitions. (see White Water Course for a more complete description). The white water course has slalom training gates and flood lights so can be used throughout the year.
It is also possible to paddle on the Rochdale Canal which runs through Sowerby Bridge - allowing 'out and back' trips on the river and canal in either upstream or downstream of the club. Access details for the white water course and River Calder.

Halifax Canoe Club
is based at Greenup Mill, next to the River Calder in Sowerby Bridge, Halifax.
Next to our facilities
in the mill we have the white water course, a section of grade 2 rapids. 
Above
County Bridge and the white water course, we have a long flat water section of
river. This is ideal for teaching beginners and is used in coaching session to
develop strokes. There are also some flat water slalom training gates just above Country
Bridge.
