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?

Re: Ogmore Slalom
Friday night - event going ahead.
River has risen but now falling. Everything depends on overnight rainfall or not.![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)

Re: Ogmore Slalom
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!
