Washburn Div 1 Cancelled

Post by lesf » Fri Jul 13, 2018 9:42 am

Hi all

Unfortunately Yorkshire Water are not able to provide water releases for the Div 1 race next weekend. So we are going to have to cancel the race.
I'm afraid we have to accept there has been virtually no rain for 2+ months and hot weather creating increased demand for water. In such circumstances a release is always going to be unlikely.

I know this is disappointing and frustrating, but this is the first time I've known us cancel a Slalom due to dry weather (last year's was because of too much water in the lower reservoirs).

Thanks to all those who had already volunteered their time to help run the event.

Les
