The England team will be made up of those Prem paddlers who appear on the start list, taken in selection order from the team list published at the start of the season, together with those Div 1 paddlers who have sent an entry card in to the organiser. England will pay the entry fee to the Pan Celti...

The only anomoly we should be focussing on is why weren't there a minimum of 5 K1 women at Shepperton and 5 K1 men at Ironbridge on the days in question. Too many Div 3 races on the calendar or just not enough Div 3 paddlers competing? The fact that three of the women were within 112% of the 2nd pl...

TBIWWC news on the UK Rivers Guide forum There's been quite a bit of chatter on UK Rivers Guide forum, including some posts by Tees Active who will run the course when it reopens.

We can then look to start a number of tasks that will address each of the key initiati...

If we are talking about equality and fairness then I'm surprised the subject of allowing the GB coaches to set the courses for selection hasn't come up for discussion before now. It would be very easy to favour a specific paddler with a certain crunch move on any course but probably more so with th...

The ACM tends to end up in October because most people are away during the Summer hols and so aren't around to plan and organise an ACM any sooner. October is also a very busy month for races and so it tends to end up being a bit of a lottery as to where the meeting is held - but Llangollen tends t...
