Bala Mill slalom this weekend is on with water down at the mill at about 9.30 pm so we can have a relaxed start. The water will run through until 7.30 pm on Saturday.

Entries have closed for this year and we will not be taking entries on the day. If you need to see control - please do it early in the weekend so we can sort any problems out early.

There are only 5 officials spaces left on Saturday - so check in early if you want a run. Plenty of spaces left on Sunday - thanks to Green Star for providing officials so far.

The weather forecast is good - but it has been raining so that means its ideal midge weather down at the mill - so bring a good repellant.

See you there for some good racing.

Please take care on the access road as you come into the site - children play on it on the weekend - so please keep your speed down along the track

A great weekend's racing on a site we haven't used for quite a while. I like the Championship format too (even though I was the furthest away from making it into the semis

) Watching the finals was great. Almost the feeling of being in a crowd.

Thanks to the Bala Canoe Club Team.

Persoannly paddled like ####, But this was probably one of the best slaloms I have been to... Its nice to paddle something different every now and again.
