As most clubs, we do have some running costs:
- Equipment maintenance: paddles to replace, boat to repair, benches to fix
- Club development: at the moment we are hosted at Carnaud MetalBox for free, but we are looking for a more suitable place, with changing room and other facilities
- Club administration: canal licence, insurance, competition fees, etc.
This is why we are relying on various sources of income: membership fees, grants, fundings and sponsorships.
