Nice video. Better late than never.

Go Sally Atkinson and Erin Turner.

Hi all. Can anyone advise what has happened with the working party looking into the topic of Portable Points which was created at last years ACM? As I recall a motion was passed to delay the introduction of such a system for 12 months (together with single division races) and not to prevent their in...

My feelings are that too rapid progression through the divisions is more of an issue in some classes than in others. I would like to suggest that the order in which this is more prominent is as follows;- C2, C1W, K1W, C1M and least of all K1M. Could this be as a direct result of the number of entran...

Hi Sam. Of course I have a vested interest in raising this point but thanks for your comments posted in the alternative thread. Everything said above by Jim is correct and logical but if all Div.1 races from Mid. July until the end of the season become full before the end of April then what is the p...

Hi Sam, This weekend of Div.1 Wasburn races that you are the organiser for really are popular as they were last year. It must mean that you and the team in Yorkshire Slalom put on great events! Now that you are Full and have already started a waiting list could you please confirm what would happen i...

Thanks for the confirmation buddy.

See you there.
Steve

Umm do you know I did.

Can't understand how I missed it now but at least it got a message put onto the front page of the Canoe Slalom website for everyone who does not participate in the Chatter Board section to see.

Good Luck to everyone racing at the Tully Div. 1 events this weekend. Can anyone advise me when the demo runs for next weekends Prem. & Selection races at Lee Valley will be taking place? Sometimes they have been on the morning of the actual races but other times on the evening of the day before eac...

Unless we take a good hard look at the issues that Paddle Up's has created I fear that we will not be able to run future slalom events using volunteer judges. Last weekend at Llandysul I would estimate that there was a maximum of 10 paddlers who entered as judges and around the same number of paddle...

If it is a Div. 3 K1 Ladies bib you are missing then the person you need to contact is Tanya Gibbons.

In last years Slalom Yearbook it gives her e-mail address as tangem@live.co.uk

Hope this helps.

As a family we have to apply for 13 different race bibs across most classes in the different divisions. Some of them were collected in person from the bib officer involved at the Stone Mini Slalom events but others had to be requested by post. A couple were slow in coming back to us but a polite e-m...

Hi Dee, Given that the Shepperton Double Div. 1 / 2 event is now oversubscribed I wonder if it would have been better for your club to have stuck with the original plan to put on the Double Div. 1 event in one weekend followed by a separate Double Div. 2 event in a different weekend. What is the spl...

Hi John.

Yes it is and thanks for pointing it out.

Every time I have checked recently it had not been there with a note from Nick saying please do not chase as it will be published when released.

When I don't check, there it is.

Hi Colin & Dee, How have people been able to send anyone entries for 2016 slalom events? Has the calendar been finalised and published somewhere that I have not yet seen or have yearbooks been distributed and mine has not arrived yet? Without such information being available then it is difficult to ...

I don't think that end of season promotions and demotions are things that ACM motions to be voted on can be submitted for. My understand is that they are down to the discretion of the Canoe Slalom Committee and / or their representatives. To be honest I was expecting a greater reduction in the Div. ...
