Stafford and Stone CC members were on the river on Sunday and alerted the EA of the incident on their hotline. Obviously, Stafford and Stone have been having discussions with the EA in the last few days to determine when it will be safe to paddle at Stone again. The EA have just released the follow...

Actually it was stated that those who qualified would either get Prem points or Div 1 points depending on which was the higher. A quick check before I go paddling, indicates ...

First of all, let's not get into this "let's create another UK rule business" We have had that over the last few years and finally got back to the ICF rules and let's keep it like that. The rules, just like the gates, are a series of obstacles that the competitor must negotiate to his/her greatest ...

We have just spent the last 10 years with the lower divisions paddling to different rules than the ICF. Surely we don't want to start all that again. The rule is 50 seconds for missing a gate. The course designer has the job of setting a suitable standard of course for those racing. Let's leave it ...

The other way to guard against currency changes is to agree the price in the currency appropriate for the manufacturer and then buy that amount in currency so that it is ready to hand over at time of delivery. That way, you know you have the correct payment regardless of exchange rate, but you also...

Perhaps the way round this is to separate the two functions of the entry card. A personal details form could be created which is sent in with each entry. This form would have address, DOB, BCU No, signature, next of kin and contact details. If distributed electronically entrants could print a few o...

Sorry for late posting.

A paddle was found in the carpark at the McConkey Slalom on 21 September.

If you have lost a paddle and can describe it, PM me and I will put you in touch with the person who found it resting against their car.
