Interesting comparison Dave, quite surprised how it made such a difference in position between the 1.20 and 1.25 With nearly 30 paddlers in the div 2/3 rankings now, is it not nearly time that they stood on their own? I have not checked entries at races to see if this is feasible, suspect not as th...

The only thing that throws a spanner in the works if a paddler was going to enter Div1 K1 and C1 Prem they would then be doing 4 races back to back, this is not acceptable! Heck of a long way to travel for most for one days paddling! I can't believe that the thought of the fishermen giving up the l...

As we only have 9 prem events it is good news that the slalom committee are looking for an alternative venue for the tees event which has been cancelled due to untimely course closure for renovation. In view of the fact that it is only six weeks away and we have to have entires in two weeks earlier...

Start off in a nice stable plastic pig to build confidence perhaps. To build general confid...

I could never understand how a "Land owner" can own the water as well? Surely water is owned by us all as we pay water rates and a proportion of the Environment Agencies costs to keep them running. Does not the water come from the sky? so who owns it on the way down? It is time that the same rights...

Does anyone have a copy of the rules for the championship? As the wording on the information appears to be misleading or the result was worked out incorrectly? "The Yorkshire Water Championship This will be presented to the paddler who earns the most points over the weekend in the divisional events...
