I know it's not like we pay loads of money to compete in slaloms and that the Slalom Committee don't a pretty sizeable cut of entry fees so I wouldn't expect the numbers to stay on the bibs for more than one event before they started to peel off.
It may a bit radical but I was thinking of seeing if a waterproof adhesive would keep the numbers on for a bit longer. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a suitable glue for sticking bib numbers back on.

Yep, first job when the bib arrived was to stick the number down. I used evo-stick. Time will tell whether it works.....

I'd rather you didn't do that. The bib numbers are iron-on. If the numbers aren't sticking, try ironing them (moderately hot, and I do them under a cloth.)

If they fall off ask your Bib Officer for new ones and iron them on as above.
