Setting off from Horning, Boards on the Broads is an in-person networking event that is good for you, good for your business and good for local charity. All proceeds that are raised from these fun networking sessions with a difference will be donated to East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices.

A love of the water, a chilled sundowner and a good old natter is what brought Liz and Katie together and has helped shape what Go Paddle is all about.  Their paths to getting here have been wildly different but getting to meet new folk and share the pretty awesome Norfolk Broads by paddle is now what they do best.

What to wear

•       As a general rule we say to dress for the weather. Quick drying clothes are the best (and avoid cottons/jeans as they can be uncomfortable when wet) If its chilly we have a small selection of wetsuits for hire. If you have your own wetsuit/rash vests – then bring them. •       For your feet we suggest old footwear (ideally flip flops) to wear on the riverside.

Alternative dates

*We are doing everything we can to bring you this event in June by following government COVID guidelines. However, due to the unpredictable nature of the pandemic we may have to cancel this event at short notice if circumstances arise that are out of our control. Please also note that this event will be postponed should we have extremely bad weather conditions which will make this activity unsafe.
