Hello! Thank you for your interest in our conference and AGM. A great event for BSUPA members:

- needing to revalidate their BSUPA Instructor's qualification before the start of the 2023 summer season - wanting to meet the BSUPA team and other Instructors/School Principals, keen to participate and learn - or all of these things!

We have a great line up of interesting speakers in the morning and then in the afternoon you can participate in our 'micro paddle sessions,' to either revalidate your current BSUPA Instructor certificate in a 'Revalidation Paddle' or to work with others to share and learn in the 'Instructor Hacks' paddle. This year there is a Revalidation Paddle group for women only.

If you wish to revalidate your current Level 1 or Level 2 BSUPA Instructor qualification as part of this event, please email info@bsupa.org.uk in advance of the conference and ask for the relevant examination paper to be emailed to you. Complete it in full and bring it with you to the conference, along with your SUP board, PBA, paddle, appropriate leash and kit. You will be given the opportunity to take part the relevant Revalidation Paddle with a BSUPA Trainer.

If your examination paper and your Revalidation Paddle are acceptable, you will be issued with a new Instructor certificate with 3 year's validity (in the days/weeks after the conference) as part of your conference fee.

If you DO need to revalidate, please choose the £50 ticket at checkout.

If you do not wish to/need to revalidate, you can still work with others to share and learn in the 'Instructor Hacks' paddle. Please bring with you your SUP board, PBA, paddle, appropriate leash and kit.

If you DO NOT need to revalidate, please choose the £15 ticket at checkout.

After the paddling, we will all return to the conference room for a wrap up of on-water activities and general discussion/Q&A. The last half hour of the conference will be dedicated to the AGM, finishing at 5.15pm.

If you wish to come to the AGM only at 4.45pm, please choose the 'AGM only, free ticket' option. Thank you.

This event is for current members of BSUPA only, who need to provide their membership number when they register at the venue in the morning. If you are not currently a member of BSUPA, you will need to join the association PRIOR to attending the conference, via www.BSUPA.org.uk On arrival, you will need to sign a medical/risk form and provide details of your off-site emergency contact. Thank you.

Free tea, coffee and chocolate/crisps/fruit snacks etc. will be provided and there will also be the opportunity to purchase hot dogs etc. in the Club's galley. However, you are responsible for providing your own lunch.

There is a large carpark opposite the venue and all parking charges are the responsibility of attendees.

Please do not bring your SUP board into the conference venue as paddling will be from the harbour wall next door. Thanks.

If you have any queries or questions concerning this event, please liaise with Anni (coordinator) at info@frangipanisup.com or call her on 07597 094233

We look forward to seeing you there!
