After 30 years of service, Rich Lee is moving on...

It's official, Rich Lee is moving on to pastures new! Whilst we will be sad to see him leave the Canoe Wales family, he will be moving on to another great adventure and we'd like to wish him the best of luck.

Rich has shown incredible, lasting commitment throughout his life to paddlesport and for around 30 years professionally and has made a lasting impression on the slalom community in Wales and the National White Water Centre which he used to supervise, so as a way to say thank you, we have written him a little poem!

There is a man named Rich Lee,
Such committed service showed he,
He kayaks and served,
For a good 30 years,
And has created his own legacy...

Thank you Rich, see you on the river...
