Re: Scratch C2s

Thanks. It's entirely my own fault so no need to feel bad.

Re: Scratch C2s

Dee, I was thinking specifically of Cardington for myself (where I know Patrick appreciates me turning up with what he descibes as "a reserve interclubs team all made up of one family") Jim, that was a very witty comment, but unfortunately it's gone......I will sort something out though so that I ca...

Re: Scratch C2s

Although it is a bit of a pain to actually get a bib for just the odd C2 race. Particularly where a family may already have multiple bibs like mine. Last season we had bibs for 2xK1W,2xK1M,1xC1W,1xC2 and 1xVet. So I didn't bother getting a bib for the occassional race pairing of my wife and I or whe...

Lost C1

If by chance anybody found a Vanquish C1 Clear Carbon Hull and Silver deck at or around HPP it's mine and I would like it back.
I left the course at appox 17:30 last night and I forgot to strap it on to my roof rack. :oops:
Thanks for any information!

Err Jim, as the self appointed voice of (no)reason for the Vets......we don't want you :lol: ....I saw you falling in on the Legacy and that my friend is an instant blackball in the Vet application process.

Re: VET points Plan B

Points are not the only issue though........Oh no! Am I the only one who would prefer to relieve the organising club of a nice piece of cake or similar from the canteen for my efforts rather than a trophy that would be better served collecting dust on the shelf/windowsill of some young up and coming...

Re: VET points Plan B

Apologies in advance if I'm missing the piont but, if a Vet who is racing in a higher division is bothered that they are being beaten in the rankings by a Vet who is picking up more points at a lower division race, surely the answer is for that Vet to race lower down and gain more points that way. I...

Re: proposed minimum points

Hello.........my name is Joel and I'm a Vet....phew! There I said it. Ok: the system isn't great for everyone. I know a couple of stalwarts of the Vet scene have paddled off into the sunset because they doen't want to be racing some ex prem paddler like me and that really is a shame. Personally I ca...

Re: C1 Promotion points

Do we maybe look at C1M and C2 getting points according to their relative position in K1M after whatever % adjustment and C1W similarly against K1W?
I have no idea if that is realistic and/or desirable.

Re: Alternative C2 world champs

Yes....I am potentially interested and logged on with the express intention of posting the question....is anyone driving out....blah, blah.

Might be worth to post on the rants and raves in addition to the events section.

Thanks,

Re: Ranking and Promotion

I like that idea Duncan. I personally could see myself going for a 1.5 entry. Load of water time on something worthwhile. I live in Nottingham and paddle at HPP weekly so a Bala Mill 2/3 or (with respect) a Howsham 2/3 doesn't really excite me enough to spend my pennies on an entry......however a Di...

Re: Championship Format in Prem

Perhaps a simple survey sent out with the bib vouchers could get to the bottom of what current premier paddlers would like??
