Our latest member is Louisa Sawers, sister to John Sawers. Like John, Louisa is a GB Kayaker and excels at the K4 class over 500m, (not that John see’s that as a proper distance!). In 2010 Louisa came 4th in K4 500m and therefore qualified four spots for GB 2012 Olympics team. She has won medals at K4 500m including gold at the 3rd World Cup event and silver in the 2nd World Cup event in K4 500m

She has also been 5th & 7th at the European Championships. Naturally her Olympic dream is to win gold in the K4 class over 500m (then Mark our chairman, will have to get in a kayak as a bet!) What more motivation can one girl need 🙂 As our honorary member, the club will be supporting her all the way.
