Pinkston Div 2/3 - 24/25 June (+ practice)

Post by JimW » Tue May 23, 2017 12:48 am

We are now one month away from our Div 2/3 event at Pinkston and the water is warming up nicely (at least it was before the rain came back).
As in previous years div 2 will race with 2 pumps running and div 3 with 1 pump running.

Entries are starting to come in, I will publish a list of entries received soon so people can check if we got their entry.

Friday evening practice will be available for this event, probably from 1730.
If you are interested please email pinkstonpanthers@gmail.com and let us know which division you will be racing in and what is the earliest you think you might arrive so we can work out a schedule that gives both divisions a chance to train with the appropriate number of pumps running.
Cost will be £5 for an hour session payable when you arrive, one hour is plenty of practise time based on our regular sessions - it is rare any of us last more than about 45 minutes!
Numbers will be limited to avoid crowding and you will need to wear your bib (can use the same bib for K1 and C1 during practice).

We look forward to seeing you all in June.

Provisional start lists and event info can now be accessed from the calendar on the home page.

Because entries come to us through the centre I am concerned that there may be some that have been mislaid on the way - If you sent an entry more than a few days ago please check the start list and make sure you are on it, if not please contact us by email so we can sort something out.

Based on practice requests so far we are probably going to run with the following schedule:
1730-1830 - 1 pump (Div 3)
1830-1930 - 2 pumps (Div 2)
1930-2030 - 2 pumps (Div 2)
2030-2130 - 1 pump (Div 3)
I realise this may mean some of our younger entrants may be practising quite late on Friday so this may be changed if we receive a lot of requests for an earlier div 3 slot for athletes who cannot arrive for the earliest slot.

I will be helping at Alva (Div 3/4, Scottish Schools) this weekend and racing at Fairnilee (Div 2/3/4) next weekend and can take entries at these events.

A bit of a cheeky request, but please could somebody take some video of it on one pump at the Div 3 and put it on YouTube, if there are any paddlers who don't mind being filmed? (Maybe a judges' run or something?) I find it really valuable to watch video of a course as part of getting brave enough to try it but all the Pinkston videos on YouTube are 2 or 3 pumps.

That seems a perfectly reasonable request, and I have to come clean and admit that only one of the photos on our poster is actually realistic in depicting 2 pumps (thank to Andrew from Forth CC for that), for the others I have tried to pick photos where it is not possible to work out how many pumps because they were take on 3. At least all but one of the paddlers is (or was at the time) div 2, just competing in other events.

I don't have a hand held camera (well I do, a DSLR but I'm not very familar with using it for video and normally mess it up) only go-pro's - do you find POV footage any use if I can persuade one of the kids to wear a gopro at a training session?

Judges runs will be 2 pumps.

POV footage is useful but also from the bank so I can see where they're putting their boat. You're great, thank you!

PRACTICE TIMES REVISED
*******************************
To make things easier for some of our younger competitors in div 3 we are switching the later 2 sessions around - I will notify everyone who was booked on the div 2 session directly by email to make sure they know. (I am working through the emails now).

The new order will be:
1730-1830 - 1 pump (Div 3)
1830-1930 - 2 pumps (Div 2)
1930-2030 - 1 pump (Div 3)
2030-2130 - 2 pumps (Div 2)

I don't have videos on one or two pumps but do have photos. My view is that 1 pump is fine for Div 3 paddlers. Our club will have 3 there only one of which will have paddled it before. JOS - just go for it, what's the worst that can happen?

The bookings for Friday practice look like this:

Slot 1 1730 - 1830
Bib Division Name
97 3 Lewis McShannon
106 3 Grace Gormal
122 3 Anoushka Nabili
274 3 Nathan Nabili
141 3 Leah Cameron
262 3 Scott Ritchie
78 3 Magnus Moody
146 3 Eric Moody
114 3 Andy Brown

Slot 2 1830-1930
Bib Division Name
17 2 Kirsty Forbes
19 2 Davie Quinn
37 2 Catie Thomson
166 2 Murray Robb
96 2 Jonathan Hendry
1002 2 Louise Tulloch
46 2 Laura Pottinger
136 2 James Brown
178 2 Cameron Brown
171 2 Ryan Mallon

Slot 3 1930-2030
Bib Division Name
58 3 Gary Clow (C1)

Slot 4 2030-2130
Bib Division Name
102 2 Steven Hosie
137 2 Gary Clow
23 2 Jenny Hammond
20 2 Bryony Agar
62 2 Cameron Ford

That should include everyone who has emailed already - I have had laptop power supply issues and there is a slim chance I had a forced restart in between saves and have lost a name.
It would be nice to see a few more bookings for slot 3 since we brought it forward to suit younger paddlers - as it stands if Gary is exhausted before the full hour is up and everyone for slot 4 is present we might switch over early.
We will take on the spot bookings up to a total of 15 paddlers per session to avoid over crowding.

I have had confirmation that we can start the pumps at 8am on Saturday for more practice up until official practice runs start at 10am, how we manage it has yet to be decided information will probably be posted in control on Friday evening.

RTC Codes
S = Signature required
£ = Either you owe us, or we owe you, some money
C = Entry cards required
Bib = Bib not known when added to start list - please come to control either for a temporary bib or to tell us your correct number if it has arrived.

I know some people are awaiting bibs but I have found them on the bibs list so the bib is on its way and I have put the right number in the start list - if it hasn't turned up in time just go to control for a temporary bib.

Temporary bibs - please remember your SCA or BC, WCA, CANI membership card which you have to show when collecting a temporary bib. If you can't show it, even though we know the bib officer has checked your card and allocated a bib, we have to charge day membership and we don't like to do that.

Just a note to highlight for anyone who hasn't been to Pinkston in the last couple of months, use M8 Junction 16 for the most direct route to the centre.

There is a road closure between J15 and the centre with a long diversion, the closure is long term and should appear on up to date sat nav or if using a live service like google maps, but my TomTom still keeps trying to tell me to use J15 (the update is now delaying me getting to Pinkston, how can it take all night and all morning?).

Big thanks to everyone that came and competed in the strong winds over the weekend, it looked like most of you got the hang of the moving gates and were enjoying yourselves.
Also thank you all for keeping clear of the coaching course that was running on an adjacent part of the site.

Even bigger thanks to everyone who helped out, especially the mums and dads of junior Pinkston Panthers who helped out in control, and all the people that helped to train them up over the weekend - I still have no idea how that tangle of wires and plugs and computers actually works during a race but it seems like they all got on top of it pretty quickly!

Hopefully next year we can arrange a better date that doesn't clash with another popular div 2/3 or the start of some of the Scottish school holidays.

Jim,

Great event, lots of fun - just need to turn down the air-conditioning next time.

Thanks Steve, would you beleive there was not a breath of wind on the Monday after?

The officials details on my results lists may be questionable (times will be right) - I have just spotted that I have Kay Royle entered as K1M instead of K1W, sorry!
It is probably not the only gaff.
