Unofficial UK Slalom BBS

Depending on the result of the little vote North of Hadrians wall in September, Scotland might cease to be an issue in this respect....

Just a note for information. We would have held a junior selection race in Wales this year as the intent is to spread these around fairly. Unfortunately however Canoe Wales were not able to support such a race this year. We hope this will change next year.

In the past when running races I have always tried to get a provisional start list up on the web site alongside the race information at two weeks before the race. This does not however stop requests for confirmation of entry. I am happy to eMail confirmation of entry to anyone that wants one and inc...

This clearly reflects very badly on the sport and I will raise the issue of behaviour in public at races with the Slalom Committee. This was not the only offending behaviour in the area at the weekend. On the Saturday there was changing in the street right down to underwear which again was not neede...

Thanks for your thoughts and many many thanks for making the effort to keep slalom active, it is truly appreciated. I understand your concerns about levies but unfortunately there are significant costs in keeping the sport up and running. Some time ago the levies were set at 45% of entry fees. We ha...

Anne Hounslow has taken over organisation of The Open. Details on the web site. I hope it goes well for you all and will try and make it but not expecting to be able to manage it.

Neil you are making my brain hurt! Agree same number of runs but because different classes would attract single run levies so no revenue would be different for the organiser. The levy system makes the two singles the logical perhaps and I think it would be inappropriate to require organisers to pay ...

Shortly getting knees fixed Mr W. Are we doing a fundraiser?

John - CR Cats have their own facilities and course at Alva. They may have very great similarity to escaped shipping containers but very useful!!!

I don't think there is consistency. I charged half the difference between the two double fees. I suppose there would be an argument for two single fees as that is what the levies that have to be paid are based on and I have had to pay the extra.
