Plenty of interesting points, a smattering of contradiction and a good ol' dose of irony thrown in - I love it!

Ahhh being devils advocate is great and what a can of worms. Yes everyone can make a choice, I guess the fact they are committed enough to attend in the first place should not be allowed to impact on them outside of the sport. I guess the comparative uniqueness of participating countrywide adds to ...

Hi I realise there will be a load of naysayers out there but I can't help thinking about this. Having travelled around (A LOT) this season and observed a lot of young people taking part, I wonder how many of them feel weary of all the travelling involved. The yp's I have seen are all obviously comm...

As far as I'm concerned I responded to all your rants. You chose to bring this to a public forum so it is my right to reply as an individual

Interesting isn't it that the resolution is what I originally suggested

It would be nice of you could extend the courtesy of getting my name correct in the pm's. I can't say it bothers me that much but as communication is important to you it might avoid confusion No objection to you quoting my promises - I keep them Probably best that you chose to restrict this to the ...

Andy I don't believe there was any compromise her so no need for hindsight really. Yep - I think your views are clear and there is no sense me continuing this matter further as I wouldn't like me comments to be open to misinterpretation also. I already stated I'll look into the communication thing ...

Hi Andy Thanks for your positive opening comments. Whilst I wasn’t personally involved in organising the slalom, I too recognise the amount of effort that goes into these events. I’m sure anyone who has had experience of the logistics of such an event will testify likewise. I will pass your thanks ...

I'd echo all the above, we all had a great time and appreciate all the hard work by all involved.

For consideration......

At such a large, well attended event, I would like to see a recycling facility, instead of just a big ol' skip.

What d'ya reckon?

Hi Can someone explain the point to me of people entering Div 3 and totally slaying the opposition to the point that their times are more in conjunction with Div 1 or Prem paddlers in judges runs. I can understand this happening once but if it is such a considerable gap shouldn't there be a mechani...

I'm sure I noticed in the year book that advertising of smoking related products on boats is banned, unless I've got it wrong and it ain't. Anyway, it seems to me that if it's recognised that advertising could reinforce that smoking is ok then what is the act itself doing. Recently, I was at at an ...
