Pat has worked to 'galvansize' the programme at Bideford Canoe Club, introducing river trips, surf sessions and coastal trips. On top of this he runs inclusive sessions, coaching individuals with disabilities. His ability to engage with young paddlers new to the sport and the links he has made with a local youth centre has seen him gain enormous respect from his club members. Through his coaching he has inspired many to take part in canoeing in his community.
