Entries coming in, 11 days to go.
Proteus Canoe Club's site is on the River Nene in Peterborough, on the outskirts of Ferry Meadows and about 2 miles from Peterborough town centre. From the car park walk over the railway line and the club hut is just on the left.
Orton Mere is located in Nene Country Park with lots of walks, cycle ways and sailing. There are 2 golf courses a few miles away. There is a rowing lake 1 mile away. It is 3 miles to Queensgate shopping centre. Another attraction for the family is Nene Valley steam railway that runs alongside the river with a station next to the car park.
Orton Mere is a great family friendly slalom with camping on site and it is good for spectators who can view the whole course from one spot. Camping is on the north side of the river Nene and it is possible to drive around to unload – Collect the key for the gate and instructions from the club on the south side of the river. Portaloos will be available on site and we will ensure there is fresh water available on site.
Team runs on Saturday.
Access is great as it is located just off the A1 or A47.
The site is accessed off Oundle Road (A605) in Orton Longueville – South of the river Nene: Postcode PE2 7DZ (South side of river) (TL 164972) and is part of Nene Park.
Come and join us!

Re: Orton Mere Div 3 -4 9th 10th May
Because we get 90% of our entries are on the day, I have no start list prepared.
But here are some timings.
The course will be up by Friday afternoon and open for free practice.
Saturday, free practice till approx 9:30, then organised practice till 12 noon. First runs will start at 12 noon and sencond runs will start at approx 2:30, but this dependent on the entries we receive. If time allows we will have a team event after the individuals on Saturday.
On Sunday everything will start one hour earlier. No team event on Sunday.

Anyone intending to camp at the weekend please note that on Sunday there will be a Triathlon event on and we will not have vehicle access to the campsite from approx 9:30 to 14:30.
The earliest we will be finishing is 15:00 though
If anyone wants to leave early on Sunday then I suggest they leave the campsite by 9 ish and park on the railway side of the river.
