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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

If you have a problem with my team, ring me, my number is in the yea...
