Re: Online Entries - The Future - Have your Say?

"My Entries" is available on the confirmation page (immediately after payment details accepted) and on the main menu bar (when you are logged in). Does it need to be more prominent?
No, I believe I just need to be less daft and tired :D thank you!

Re: Online Entries - The Future - Have your Say?

CeeBee: yes, I would find it very useful to be able to check what I had already entered online, I am very forgetful!

Re: Lower Divisions (3&4) - How Could Things be Improved?

As an adult I try (not always successfully) to be encouraging to other adults who are feeling glum that they just got beaten by 20 little kids, which I think is a big reason why some people give up. I had been thinking for a while maybe we should have some kind of network for low division adults so ...

Re: K1W 2 & 3 bibs vs Royal Mail

Nick - aha. I think the weight may have been the thing, thank you! I measured it in all directions so it was definitely within the size limits, plus I put the returned article through the large letter slot I keep on the bookshelf. I think the weight banding was introduced since last time I looked at...

K1W 2 & 3 bibs vs Royal Mail

I just got my K1W D3 bib back in an "insufficient postage" envelope from Royal Mail, with a large letter stamp on it, having folded it perfectly like the diagram and put it through a large letter measuring slot with room to spare each side before I posted it back in October. This only happens when I...

Paddle left at Oughtibridge

Somebody from HPP left a child sized paddle at Oughtibridge, and phoned Ian Holmes when they got home and realised it wasn't there. I have got your paddle and he is going to pass on details when he's had a rest! But I will put this on Chatter too in case it helps. I am helping at Tees next weekend a...

Re: Portable Points - New Proposals

The problem where people would do div 3/4 events on div 3/4 water and then get promoted to div 2 and the water is a big step change in scariness, and all their benchmarks for "this is a move I can do but this is one I need to work on" and "this course took me 150s last time, let's see if I can beat ...

Re: Portable Points - New Proposals

I think this is great! What initially bothered me about portable points was having no div 2/3 events to use as incrementally harder and/or more scary targets for development, like a staircase to help make it up what feels like a big step for an adult learner. I really like this solution.
