Re: England Team 2017 and Pan Celtic Races

Hi Rob, If its Sunday for team runs after the event you might find a lot of people want to get on the road for a long journey home, especially those who only do 1 calls that finishes much earlier

Suggest team runs Saturday if possible

Re: Online enteries

We have just changed the way we are collecting payments for competitions. Going forwards , you will still need to enter your card details to have your entry accepted, but we will not charge your card until shortly before the competition. Your card expiry date will need to be after the charge date, ...

Re: Boat Weight Rules

I've never seen anyone measure a boat at any race, yet i have seen people race in competition (and win by the way) & race in prem in a boat that doesn't conform to the min boat sizes - i wonder if the size of the boat will be policed too going forward? Or as perhaps i feel - it really doesn't matter...

Re: GET A LIFE

I get the impression from a fairly terse message from Nick on the web site that some paddlers have already been applying - often without the correct documentation - for their 2017 bibs. The first race of the season isn't for the best part of two months yet - GET A LIFE! One of the most unhelpful me...

Love it Dee - it would be great to have a button on the home screen that take you straight there similar to the 'Previous' & 'Next Year' buttons :)

Re: Boat Weight Rules

I'd be surprised if all of the objections on this site change the rule - so it doesn't matter if i agree or not - i'll put my efforts into getting my son's boats the right weight for the season rather than moaning about it :D

Online enteries

I was keen to see how well it worked so I've used the online entry system for a couple of races already - i think its great & i don't mind paying the small charge (which if you enter more than one class is not much more than paying for a stamp) it saves loads of time with writing out cheques, comple...

Re: 6.11 Portable Points

If you are in div 1, this will give you 20 races from which to gain the promotion points that you need in order to get to Prem. This is instead of the 10 that you have currently. I dont see where you get teh numbers from - there are the same number of races in Div1 + Prem next year as this year. Fu...

Re: 6.5 UKC19.8 Staying In The Finish Area After Your Run.

I don't see this as a NEW rule, its simply clarity of what happens 'if you don't follow the original rule' in my mind....

Well done to everyone :)

2017 Selection at Lee Valley

The Draft calendar states 14th, 15th & 16th April - the draft section policy states 15th, 16th & 17th

Presume the policy is correct so the draft calendar needs updating (or vice versa) - posting on here as don't feel its feedback re the policy & people may have plans at easter

Re: 6.12 Restricting Paddle Up

If its complicated it wont work & i haven't read anything on this thread that's simple for organizers so i feel they will veto it & my opinion is that's correct. Having said that - portable points isn't helping this as all - its more of a driving force as its more races for say Div1 to get points in...
