This is short notice that we will be holding a non-ranking handicapped slalom on 22nd July 2012. This will be held at Duckmill White Water Arena in Bedford,as featured in the latest canoe focus. This will be part of the Bedford River Festival. This is a huge event in bedford that happens every 2 years and has massive crowds. This will be a great way to demonstration the use of the DWWA and canoe slalom a week before the start of the Olympics. This is also a great way to try out the Duckmill Arena before a possible return to the slalom calendar next year. we have 2 x 1.5 hour windows where we can open the sluice gates so depending on the number of entry's depends on the type of event we run.
I will put up more details on the viking website (http://www.vikingkayak.co.uk) within the next couple of days.
Let me if you interested on here or via "webmaster(at)vikingkayak.co.uk" or help pass on this information to people who may be interested. This is all for fun but there will be prizes to be won.
Cheers
Mikey

Re: Duckmill Slalom - 22 July 2012
Any idea of timings yet? I am tempted to come along but its my last free weekend for a very long time so I would like an idea as to how long it it likely to go on for before entering...
Re: Duckmill Slalom - 22 July 2012
we have 2 1.5 hour windows where the council will open the sluice gates for us, if they are not already open. Theses are 11:30 - 13:00 and 14:30 - 16:00. one sluice is already open and with expected weather we may have both open by the weekend.
