Ogmore Slalom

Post by Jaytee » Thu Jun 14, 2012 1:08 pm

Preparations are well under way for this Div 3/4 event in South Wales.
The river level is good to low; the weather forecast suggests it might rise a little over the next couple of days. Entries are being taken until late Saturday morning. Why not come down to Bridgend & have a go?

Friday night - event going ahead.
River has risen but now falling. Everything depends on overnight rainfall or not. :roll:

Many thanks to all the paddlers, parents, friends & helpers who made the Ogmore Slalom work so well again this year.

Although the river was swift and quite high, the only boat/paddler separation (I know of) was the penultimate paddler on Sunday, while we accommodated a J5 & J6 among the many junior & novice participants.

Interestingly, C1 & C2 entries were not far from equalling K1!
There are bound to be photos on the Bridgend Canoe Club website in the near future....

Sadly 1 gazebo was lost to the poor weather. Happily - that was all!
