Unofficial UK Slalom BBS

Unfortunately there are always people who will cheat in sport, unfortunately due to man power we cannot weigh boats at every race, however cheats never come out on top in the end. the best way to race and train is in a boat of consistent weight. it would be great to know who it was then they could ...

Welcome back to slalom, probably know you as origionally from Harrow area and have been involved in slalom in one way or another for over 30, certainly with my boys for about 17 years! Race at HPP this weekend, could do with some judges there, also Div1/Div 2 next weekend. Hope you enjoy your comeb...

Before slinging criticism around about an imotive subject such as this it is very important to be sure you have all of the facts and that the facts are also correct.

When weighing wet a consideration was taken as to how much water was in the boat, vey often they were well over 10k if t...

I endorse those thanks. As an organiser and a timing team official at HPP I know how much effort and costs go into running prem/div 1 events. The majority run on either artificial courses or rivers where it costs to have a water release eg Treweryn and Washburn, these events barely break even so I ...

As an organiser and a committee member but foremost a parent of 2 paddlers I am in quite a good position to comment on fees.
