Ken showing that he actually can
walk on water and it's not just a
figure of speech!

Ken Hughes is the BCU Regional Coaching Organiser (RCO). Although the
position is voluntary it can be demanding. The quality, availability and
consistency of courses ran in the region are very much overseen by him. He is
also the team leader of the Local Coaching Organisers, who to many are the first
port of call with any coaching questions.
Although very focused on Specialist Whitewater Canoe (and it would seem you
need focus if you white water canoe!), generally if it floats Ken will get it do good
things, though there is a weakness we have spotted.... Ken has promised to
come and paddle some proper surf kayaks this year and we are very much
looking forward to it.
You can contact Ken via email.

Meet your LCO.
Carl Halliday is LCO for Northumberland.
Carl is based in Alnwick. He actively tries to spend as much of
his free time either in a boat, on a crag or in the mountains and
enjoys a range of paddle sports (mainly kayak river paddling &
surf). He also loves travelling and has paddled and climbed in
various continents around the world.
Carl is a Full-time lecturer and Course Team Leader in Outdoor
Education at Northumberland College, Ashington.
Needless to say the North East Region is a bit big for Ken to manage single handedly.
There are several Local Coaching Organisers (LCOs) who each take responsibility for
working with clubs in their areas and providing information about BCU coaching to all
who need it. Details about your LCO are available on the Contact Us page.
