Bere Forest Club History

Bere Forest has been around for many years and has won a large number of competitions around the world, Bere Forest orginally used to represent Great Britain before the current structure was put in place.

The name of the club came from the orginator of the club come from a place called the Forest of Bere, this is how the team got its name.

Bere Forest canoe polo team has always been succesful and been at the top of Divison 1 as well as taking part in all Local and National competitions. Also many players represented Great Britain and also coaching and captaining the Great Britain Team to success.

A few years ago Bere Forest strugggled to keep a team together who would train with one another and also developing younger players through the ranks. Due to this Bere Forest withdrew their position from Divsion 1, after all those years playing at the top.

Bere Forest was close to collapsing, but with one last push from current players a new format was decided and worked on in encouraging the youth of today to start canoe polo. This was then the start of Bere Forest Youth Team.

After a period of time players then became more experienced and older then began to want to play in the Mens League. This then meant for the team to start from the bottom climbing the ladder once again and aiming for the top.You always have to have a goal to achieve a goal!
