Re: Sunday Dart Slalom
Really good slalom venue at today's level, so good to have a real river venue in such a beautiful setting. Great efforts made by all to recover from the Saturday wipe out and some excellent river running into the mix too

Re: VET points Plan B
Was not the original intention of Vets to allow Parents to paddle apart from the Division of Siblings? This gives parents an opportunity to watch. The system 2018 goes one better and allows Dad to follow through as improving youth jumps up divisions :) Surely most VETs are content just to be on a st...
