BCU Yearbooks 1974 to 1980
Posted: Thu Nov 22, 2012 10:31 am
In the days before online data and statistics we used to depend upon good old fashioned paper Yearbooks to inform us how our season had gone. My wonderful Mummy was meticulous in her record keeping of my slalom activities and this has made easy the scanning and uploading of these yearbooks. These are not scans of the entire Yearbooks, just the ranking lists at the top of each class.
I thought it would be a good idea to have these online for reference purposes so that (1) the young athletes of today can see a little history about their sport (although they will probably not be terribly interested in this until they have their own history in the sport!) and (2) we older paddlers can reflect on a large portion of our formative years. Hopefully it will stir a few memories and raise a few smiles - possibly not as much as if I had scanned in the boat adverts with £60 boat prices but it depends on how much interest these generate before I think about scanning those in!
Apologies for the highlighting of some of my entries but you know how parents are! Hopefully i will become the same
The comments I have made regarding each Yearbook focus more on Viking Kayak Club paddlers and those I raced with rather than the remainder. However, if anyone has any comments they wish to add, please get them to me and I will add them in with credits!
ENJOY!
