Unofficial UK Slalom BBS

Maybe if we start recruiting at 13, then realistically they’ll not get onto the squads as they’ll be too old, and can just race for fun forever! Or may have a foundation in many different paddling disciplines so they can go back to it if/when they decide to stop slalom, and are paddling because the...

Very impressive all round performances from each one of them. A delight to watch and credit to British Canoeing for the work in enabling them to bring out those performances on the day.

Er..no? If there are too many div 1s and you need more div 1 races and more people involved in volunteering in slalom, interested in competition and helping out at all these races it could be better to value volunteers and encourage a culture of volunteering in competitive slalom by providing the op...

Er....not a waste of time for those who want to judge, get a run and see how they do but not compete in the main class or get points?

Yes I was going to...at the time of putting it on here I actually didn't want too many people to see it at once until I had identified if there was a particular contact at the barrage who wanted it, in case they were inundated......but thank you for putting it there now.

Hi All If you have entered the Tees Barrage races, please can you complete the medical consent form and White Water Risk Declaration form which each participant needs to fill out prior to getting on the water and return to TBIWWC by post or email prior to the event. This will save considerable time ...

Hi John Rachel is referring to the Tees Barrage races on 20/21 Sept, not the Abbey rapids one on 30/31 Aug (which is your Div 1 single, double Div 2). . The Tees Barrage races are a 1/2 (and junior champs) on the Saturday, and a Prem on the Sunday. And on that note, it is it a race where we need ple...

is there a final calendar after the ACM as yet?
thanks

An event, to genuinely replace an event that couldn't run, for paddlers, by volunteers...when so few come forward to run events ....yet so much arguing .....was this a rant and rave post and I missed it?

Hi Just had a look and it was in the October 2012 minutes to clarify in the 2013 yearbook, but also recognised there as inconistent, so no harm in revisiting if people want to. I think it's through representation at the ACM. Yes, probably worth highlighting on the day - I haven't been to Llandysul, ...

Hi It was in the rule book as a change this year which I guess happened at the last ACM ....I think it was because last year a young paddler was the fastest J16 but was only allowed to win the J12 (or similar) prize for their age group, so they changed it so that he/she could win all up to the highe...

Hi

It's because of paddle ups - if you note there are three women who were paddling up, so they aren't included in the points tables - hence 20 actual prems in race, so 950 - hope that makes sense.

This was my first time helping to organise a slalom at the size and level of this weekend. Thanks to all who made it go so well. It has made me realise that emotions run high on these events, on both sides. Understandably, as people are passionate about the sport, or about their racing, or about the...

Start list now up - and as you can see it is going to be VERY BUSY on Saturday with main runs at 45 sec intervals and over 250 entries....so please bear with us and please ensure people keep an eye on run times and be considerate in parking etc. We also recognise that there is little time to view wa...
