Unofficial UK Slalom BBS

Hi Duncan,

It would be good if Bib Officers could make simple updates such as First Claim Club rather than having to email everything to Nick.

Regards,

Mark (C1W Bib Officer)

.CSV file posted on front page of UK Slalom web site - just need to use Garmin POI Loader to install it - I've checked the majority of sites for accuracy and will see how well the one for the Tryweryn works this Saturday.

If no one else volunteers then I'll have a play once I've got all the C1W bibs out of the way

Has anyone produced a set of files for Garmin satnavs or is planning on doing so? I noticed the post from Ken Trollope for TomTom devices but I suspect one or two others out there went for the option of free lifetime map upgrades from Garmin and are now finding that there isn't the same community wh...

For these two manufacturers you are best buying direct assuming you know exactly what you want and can overcome the language barrier. The Dixons went down this route for their Zig Zags and I'm fairly certain Prem paddlers like Lizzie Neave did so for their Caimans. After you have managed to order yo...

The provisional England team for 2012 is now published on the front page of the Canoe Slalom web site. Anyone named in the team who wants to purchase England kit then please click on the link provided in an earlier post or follow the link further down the front page. Anyone new to the team who needs...

Here is the text from the 2010 ACM - A panel will be established to review and advise on Risk Assessments for events. Initially this will be headed by Peter Curry, other volunteers will be sought. During 2011 all clubs will be encouraged to submit risk assessments for review. An application for an ...

Well spotted Duncan. Whoever did the rule tidy up didn't go back far enough and took this year's rules as gospel. The last time a factor is mentioned for inquorate Div 4 K1W promotions was 2010. I assume this has meant quite a few K1W might have missed out on promotion from Div 4 this year if the r...

So what are our real concerns with this motion? That we haven't got the ability to appoint jury chairs with more than a few seconds notice, i.e. oh ####, the event is about to start, so you over there, you're now the jury chair? That paddlers are going to get promoted unfairly just because one padd...

I was concerned initially of the impact this rule change would have on promotion of C1 women from the lower divisions but having re-calculated this years rankings as though this rule change had been in force I can confirm that the impact would have been minimal. This is mainly due to most lower div...

Sorry Nick, whilst it is the ultimate aim to have the results uploaded directly to the ranking lists, this was just poor wording on my part as the focus of the rule change for 2012 is to get event organisers using appropriate software so that the results are official on the day and are submitted in...
