Unofficial UK Slalom BBS

Nicky, Just for the sake of splitting hairs, your statement "It was last seen leaving the site with a member of the timing team, but since then no one has seen it" Should, I believe, say that it was last seen by James Tonks being put into a van by a person approx 5'6" with greying hair, who he beli...

Not getting on my high horse, getting the hump, or being over sensitive, just want to provide some facts for you before you all go off and re-invent the wheel......... The old system of timing ie tutti is accurate to time the events that it times and as the slalom committee minutes state, we are al...

Does anyone have a K2 or K1 Sprint/Marathon boat taking up room in their garage that could do with a good home for awhile? Sue is training for th DW and could do with something to train/race in. She has a partner for the race but as one crew member is down south and Sue is in Doncaster, either or b...

Hi Colin (and Mr and Mrs Munchkin) Please accept our most deep and sincere appologies but we will be unable to attend "winter in wonderland" due to the type of commitments that pay the mortgage, so to speak. Believe me when I tell you that I would like nothing better than to see Sue in a C2 with fa...

What Mark has said here is 100% correct, the reason for the complication is that we are, in effect, running 3 different races at the same time and due to the low numbers of World Ranking paddlers entered then all will go through as per ICF rules. If its confusing to you guys, think what a headache ...

"BREAKING NEWS" Anne H has just been heard to say while dripping on the carpet of the first aid hut "I am so happy it is raining hard". Ken T has been dispatched with a 12"ruler, waders and a sowester to measure water levels........ We havent cracked up yet but dehydration is kicking in and is beli...

This thread has now gone beyond the initial post by Duncan and I can see the sence in what is being said here. A couple of points that you may wish to bear in mind while progressing though. 1. Do not try to re-invent the wheel, an accurate points calculating spreadsheet already exists we export fro...

My understanding was that we paid someone to develop the prem timing system and I just though that, with the benefit of hindsight, extending the brief (and the budget) could have been considered as options. Dee, I don't know where you or anyone else has got this information from but you are very wr...

I too would like to congratulate all the volunteers involved at the event, I think everyone will agree that it was "one of our finest hours" (to miss-quote someone!!!) My special thanks go out to my team of helpers. You made Sue's and my lives very easy with the professional way that you all worked...

dj, We already have a national timing team and have had for a great many years. What i am attempting to do is put together a team of starters and finishers to add to the team for the good of all (at present over 300 views and only 2 replies.......) Thanks for urging people to fill in the questionai...

Hi All, I am looking to set up a pool of people to do Start and finish at all of the races that are timed by the national timing team and to be part of the national timing team. The benefit for paddlers is that this will allow us to provide a professional service to the paddlers and standardise the...

Note 2 for Peter, I am not prepared to enter into an argument with you or anyone else on a public "chat" site. As i have stated, if you wish to complain about my staff (all volunteers) then ring me, that is one of the reasons my number is in the year book. If you wish to complain about Ken or mysel...

Note for Peter, Your result was posted along with everybody else, I know this because i remember commenting on it with my team that after your last personal attack on my team members, we would make sure we would print all classes. If you have a problem with my team, ring me, my number is in the yea...
