LOL. Some say that he only eats Walnuts and Californian raisins and likes playing with life size lego. But we call him the Stig.

Pan celtic

Interesting how the selection to represent your nation changes for England with Graveyard cancelled but other nations stick with it

Re: Back to Slaloms

England v Barbarians: 20,000 fans could attend Twickenham clash https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/53997289 Exactly my point - i suppose as a parent i'm keen to get back to watching some racing. If it cant happen this month then when can it happen & to my point what needs to happen to get to r...

Re: Back to Slaloms

On the slalom welcome page it suggests an update end August, ive not seen anything

I'm keen to understand the blockers for racing to commence so people can support to unblock them!


NOTE - specific blockers not just general there is a risk!

Re: British Open/ HPPCC/SS open

I'd suggest we go with the Open at HPP & work on the risk assessments.

If we have local lock down & the centre wont refund we need to be clear on this & advise no refunds - risk & reward and all that


Only question - Must BC support be given for this event to happen?

Re: British Open/ HPPCC/SS open

I would imagine that there are a number of risks & that those should all be assessed, it may be that the majority of these can be mitigated & then it would be much clearer as to what needs to happen to enable racing for example Judging in its current form may be a risk that cannot be taken due to he...

For information

Age categories.
Option 1 and Option 4 are the same. Age category for ICF is the age in 2021. Sorry if you missed out on j18 World Championships but that's pandemic for you.

Then that ends the discussion then - am i wrong???

Re: Age Categories for the 2020/21 Racing Season

The key word in the rule is "organised", not "run". Still ambiguous - for instance a. Race cancelled as no water could be classed as organised as it was cancelled last minute in most cases b. Yet - this year races are not organised as they are cancelled months in advance - no organising required ;)...

Re: Age Categories for the 2020/21 Racing Season

One thing is clear - people dont seem to be in agreement with the age categories for a 2 year season. I suppose there should be some suggestions perhaps the below options: 1 - Paddler age at the end of the season, this would reflect the same as other seasons but not cover paddlers changing form say ...

Re: Age Categories for the 2020/21 Racing Season

Thanks Dee, It looks like making the season spanning over two years is going to throw up some issues that haven't been thought about. Would it not be easier just to wright this season off and let the people who got promoted stay promoted and just start again next year. I am sure people would unders...
