Absolutely no way on this earth am I getting into a boat

There are over 300 places in Canoeing ie sprint and slalom. If Sprint were to give up the places they don't use we would be able to have C2 and C1W. At least that's my understanding of how it could work.

Rant mode on: Here we go again........Committee bashing!! If you are so against what it does, why didn't you stand for the committee? There are still places available and if you say so, you could be co-opted on right now. Anyone could have stood for the committee but as usual, people are happy to sl...

Stick your finger in the air and pluck out a number!! I have no idea how many to cater for so as usual, going to take a wild guess.

BBC 2 at 4pm Sunday. A whole hour!!!!!

Ok so; a) How would you value volunteers? This question has been going around for ages. Surely we already do that as without them a slalom would not run and they know that. b) How does an organiser work out how many hours a volunteer has worked at a slalom and who exactly are you including in this? ...

Personally I think the whole thing should be scrapped and we all spend our vaulable time concentrating on delevering great events to inspire paddlers.

If competitors need to be "rewarded" for also judging then they could be given a uniform number of points like non-paddling officials. That's fine IF I was told by organisers of who the non-paddling judges were/are at an event. This year I have not had one name of a non-paddling judge!!!! Something...

I think the rule is quite clear. In the past it has never been a problem so I fail to see why it is now. Late entry paddlers have often been asked to judge and they do not get a judges run. If you are racing AND judging do you really want to do both runs and risk tiring yourself out and ruining your...

If it is the case that this rule is being DELIBERATELY flouted then it is a matter for the Slalom Committee and I will let them know. I would be grateful, Slink if you could pm me and let me know when this happened.
Thanks

May I remind organisers of rule C6.1.2 A competitor may not at one event enter both a ranking event or Championship event and an Officials event in the same or a different category. It seems many organisers are not aware of this rule and I am now having to remove competitors from the Officials ranki...
