Unofficial UK Slalom BBS

I'm not sure how much Lee Valley costs for a weekend? Or how many race entries would be involved to make it viable? More paddlers = more pumping time, and that's the core cost at Lee Valley. I think the Olympic course costs so much that, at present entry fees, the greater the number of paddlers the...

I suggest that a simple, large notice, possibly in Dayglo, placed at ingress and egress might be worth trying as a starter. Possibly also one slung across the river, just south of the finish line.

Suggest that large sign on the riverbank, possibly in dayglo, would be worth placing at both ingress and egress points. Simple but worth a try.

You're bored aren't you!

Actually, as I have said a few times, the petition is not mine, it belongs to a chap by the name of Mark Hannett. The reason I brought the matter up and found a petition was because I disagree with the idea of demonstrating at Lee Valley. There are more effective and less aggressive ways of achievin...

"Spring is definitely here and although I am not promising bikini / speedos weather it is looking good at the moment for a great weekend"

According to my fourteen year old Speedos are for weirdos. Looks like I'll have to wear my mankini again

Tee he! Could I suggest that we move ahead with the e petition, which is not going well - 318 signatures to date. If we get enough the whole thing can then be debated it parliament. If we don't have sufficient numbers on the list no one important gets to hear about it at all! Signing the e petition ...

Boatmum,

Please check out the online petition -you can access this on my facebook page ( it's a Parliamentary petition, started by someone else but, only has 33 signatures, to date)

Ok, So my last post was, in part, a waste of time. The petition exists: Make all UK rivers fully open to public use Responsible department: Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Remove barriers to access of rivers in the UK for the general public to use, on a system similar to Scotland ...

Right then, With any luck, this link will take the reader to "Petitioning Parliament". Towards the bottom of the large blue boxed column (above Emily Pankhurst) is another link to organising an e - petition. If this is to be a co-ordinated act, we need one hynm sheet from which we all sing, so; Who ...

You cannot control the emotions or thoughts of individuals, particularly when acting "en masse". It is precisely this, which makes the "loose cannon" entirely possible. If you really do feel you can control everyone at this event, including the people who are not in slalom paddling community, then b...

Really, this has to be an irresponsible act. There are many ways and times to address this but, surely not at an event as important as this. These people have been training harder than most of us could possible imagine, for a very long time. There is no need to do this at all. The issue of river acc...

Brilliant Steve,

Well done for keeping slalom in touch.

Kendall.
