Re: Opening for Entries

I don't see how setting an opening date solves the problem of those first in getting the few paddle up or officials places - it will still be whoever is organised and gets in on the relevant dates. Events that fill months before the event are the exception and usually due to some particular circumst...

Re: Opening for Entries

As a paddler and organiser I'm happy with a similar default opening date to this year. I know a few people have missed entering races that opened later as they thought they done all their entries at the start of the year. As an organiser, yes there was a rush of entries initially but it's only a few...

Re: Division Sizes and Promotion Points

Tees Prem is also full without paddle ups and has Prems on the waiting list - with a 200 limit.

I'm thinking the bubble of numbers in Div 1 is shifting to Prem at the moment. If you look at bib numbers issued, certainly in K1M there are more than there have been for quite a few years.

Washburn Div 2 Cancelled

Unfortunately due to the ongoing dry summer Yorkshire Water are not able to provide water releases for the Washburn Div 2 races on 15/16 Sept. The rain we have had in July has still been less than the monthly average, and has not been sufficient to increase reservoir levels. A note will be going on ...

Washburn Div 1 Cancelled

Hi all Unfortunately Yorkshire Water are not able to provide water releases for the Div 1 race next weekend. So we are going to have to cancel the race. I'm afraid we have to accept there has been virtually no rain for 2+ months and hot weather creating increased demand for water. In such circumstan...

Re: Coping with Numbers in Div 1

To back up Dee's point, with data from Tees Barrage (as it wasn't online) Prem race - all the Prems that wanted to paddle got a space, plus the 5 Pan Celtics that were outside of the host division that applied. Ok, we had no room for PU's but that's always the risk for PU. Div 1 - I was able to take...

Re: Tees Barrage - Lost Property

Hi Alan

Sorry, I haven't got those - it would be worth checking with the centre though as they may have picked up things left there

Re: Safety Forms for Tees Barrage Prem/1 (14/15 Oct)

Can I just remind everyone that you need to complete the Barrage Forms for this race - most likely take them with you now.

Also that you have to sign in each day you are paddling

Please don't send them to me!!

Re: Tees Barrage Prem /1 -14/15 October

Hi After taking out those promoted at Llandysul, I have a few spaces available at the Div 1 race on Sunday if anyone is interested - email me asap if you want to race. I am also short of judges for Sunday if any one can help out (or volunteer for any other role over the weekend). I still have no spa...

Re: HPP Div 1 & 2

I concur with Steve's interpretation of the rules, and may take advantage when I'm old enough !
