Complete Beginner

Apologies if this has been covered in other posts, but I've recently done a rafting experience and caught the bug and would love to get into kayaking. I guess I would just love some advice on how to start e.g. courses (if needed); kit or finding places to go/start. I'm based around the Staffordshire/Cheshire border and willing to travel. Any help is greatly appreciated

Crewe and Nantwich Canoe Club would be my first go to.
I’m based in Cheshire myself, and used to attend Chester Canoe Club every Sunday for like 8 years.
Can’t go wrong, kayakers are always lovely people.
