Carlr · Post by **Carlr** » Fri Jul 23, 2010 3:21 pm

Well its nearly that time of year again for the Harefield Div 3/4 slalom over the weekend of 7th 8th August, The course will be up by early evening on the Friday for those that want to practise. We have the usual field for camping and parking opposite the slalom course behind the Public house (Coy Carp). Camping will be £5 per vehicle for the weekend and parking will be £1 per day for those not camping. There will be porta loos in the campsite and hopefully a cold water tap (to be confirmed). We will be provisionally looking at starting 1st runs from 11am on Saturday and 10:30am on Sunday. We will be taking entries on the day upto 10:30am on the Saturday and 10:00am Sunday, we are normally inundated with late entries on the day so please help us by going to control as early as possible each morning or email me all your details so i can put on start list (see calendar for email address). We will also be holding the annual open Team event after the main event on the Saturday so all can enter and have some fun. Please be aware that there is to be no car parking in the Coy Carp car park all competitors to park in camp site field donated for the weekend by the Clancydocwra Group. There will also be refreshments on site too. Hope to see as many of you at this event as we have over the past couple of years.

Ta Carl

With the M25 widening roadworks still in progress expect some delays. So if you are coming and entering on Saturday please allow plenty of time!

Only a couple of days to go so if you havent sent your entry in yet its not to late, we will be taking entries on the day as well. Due to the nature of entries mostly being late at the moment i have put together a provisional timetable for the weekend which has been sent to Nick so will hopefully be up on the website soon.

Well done guys, Sunday was fab. You did a great job with the weather (I have a rosey nosey!), the event ran to time, everyone was smiling and I even had time to go home, paint the bathroom, eat a roast dinner and go to my club's pool session. Perfect!!!

A big thanks to all those that attended at the weekend to make it a success, shame we didnt have as many entries as in previous years but made a change to be all cleared up and home early!! Results have been sent to Nick and will be up soon (Nick maybe away at moment) so please be patient.

He told me that in the early days he used to tape one in a zip lock bag on the bow of your boat as a reward - it obviously worked
