Greetings from the very exciting Isle of Man! :)
Below is the Autumn newsletter with big events planned for 2010, exclusive holidays in the Adventure Club, links to recent footage of adventures with us... and much more!
Autumn Newsletter
A bright and cheery hello from Adventurous Experiences!
As we transfer to our Autumn program, and the shorter days are upon us and we’re informing you of some of the exciting experiences we’re providing, to get the most from your day!
Adventure Club - established 2004
The Adventure Club members have been dedicating themselves to the ‘business’ of Safe, Fun Learning with a mixture of adventures;
Sunday sea kayak training sessions
Tuesday evening indoor pool kayak courses
Saturday adventures in Gorge Scrambling, Rock Climbing, Coasteering
Evening meals and socials
Fantastic to see an increasing amount of new faces – we are continuing to offer our members the high level of customer service, low instructor to student ratio, memorable experiences with like-minded people, and exclusive holidays and trips for 2010;
Greek Islands – sea kayaking & taverning
Seychelles – sea kayaking & snorkelling from a sail boat
Anglesey – sea kayaking, rock climbing and mountain walking
Ireland - sea kayaking exploration, with over night Bothy & camping
Many of our students have such a busy summer, that learning to sea kayak and developing existing skills, is only practical between September and June – so we ensure we have the experience, staff, clothing and equipment to make this a positive experience.
Members are using it to also gain British Canoe Union awards, and ensure they are prepared for any challenge or trip we offer them :)
The Adventure Club has an annual fee of £75, allowing members to benefit from greatly reduced rates per activity session.
NEW MEMBERSHIP DEALS online
Congratulations to Steve Foulis who gained Member of the Month for September! After signing up to a beginner’s course on the sea with his wife, he joined the club recently to make use of the ‘progressive learning program’ and friendly socials. Steve has also just completed an indoor pool skills course and he has shown good progression and a high level of commitment.

Fri 20th November Evening Meal & Social
Website Updates
We continue to update and modify the information online, so the website will host the most up to date information. The ‘Calendar’ of scheduled events displays a selection of adventures on offer for simplicity at the booking stage.
To create a date, service or session (not immediately visible) contact us and we will organise it for you.
We provide experiences every day, all year, for individuals, couples, small family groups and friends, corporate events, and larger groups up to and exceeding 40 persons.
Youth Scholarship – Development and Leadership Program
The program forms a large part of our commitment to raising the level of outdoor skills and safety on the Island. The team of 7 students who completed the very challenging Norway Expedition, and most are now studying for Degrees at University. We have decided to continue our support of this group for a further year, and will be offering the program to new students in Autumn 2010. More details on our Youth Scholarship program online.
Corporate Events and Training
It’s been a busy year (and continues to be) for corporate events and leadership training.
The main website has details of what we offer – from an afternoon staff reward, to our effective leadership development training.
With the launch of the Green Mann Spring water – an environmentally conscious business with its source on the Ballabrooie estate, our Organic cuisine and experienced facilitators, we guarantee an unforgettable adventurous experience and effective solution for business of all sizes.
Gorge Scrambling and Coasteering adventures
Due to the increasing demand for our ‘combined rock and water activities’ we have scheduled more on the Calendar and have a group discount of 1 goes free with every six persons. Individuals and smaller groups are also welcome.

Sam Murphy is enjoying his second year of studies at Bangor University. Combining studies with further outdoor training and coaching full time whilst home on the Isle of man.
Our superb sea kayak fleet has recently had addition of 2 NEW SKUK Romany XL’s – for larger paddlers. These are going down a storm with students who prefer a high level of stability on the water.
