Re: Div 2/3 Vets
Hi Mike, as a P/1 vet you can enter either Prem or Div 1, you just get half points for Div 1 races. Same system as with P/1 and 2/3 C2, you can enter either division races, just get half points for the lower division. At a 2/3 in C2 you're assumed to be entering the higher division. Where there's a...

Re: Div 2/3 Vets
Div 1/P Vets. Is there anything stoping a Division1 Paddler from entering Prem as a Vet. Yes you are going to say they can now do paddle up as a Div 1, but I would much prefer to Paddle Vet Prem and stay in Div 1 Rankings. So you can only race in one class, so you just state that on your entry card....

Re: Is C2 Viable as a ranking class?
If we are going to save C2 looks like we need a proposal before this Thursday! Numbers- Nick. If 3 Prem C2 are giving up there are 4 getting promoted from Div2/3 so not much change in numbers there. There are currently 15 ranked P/1 and 58 number 2/3 with 4 getting promoted. Not like back in the ear...

Re: Is C2 Viable as a ranking class?
I agree with Steve, Mark and Cee Bee on this one. Think we need to encourage C2. How about as Steve says have One division for the Class. So any C2 can enter any division they wish to enter. Points something like for a win. Prem -1000./ Div 1- 750./ Div2,- 500./ Div 3/4 - 250. No maximum number of e...

Re: Div 2/3 Vets
Ok I paddled in Div3/2 Vets C1 and Div1/P Vets K1 Last year and there was just not enough competition. So this year I just paddled boat boats in Div1 Masters. I think Vets needs splitting into separate divisions. So a Div 2 Vet could then do a Div1 race as a paddle up. Same for the other division Ve...

Re: ACM Motion - Scrap discounts for Multi Class & Double Ev
The easiest option is to make C2 free of charge, providing one paddler is in another class.
Nobody will need a calculator then to work out the entry fee.
Then C2 may survive.

Re: Proposed rule change.
So as we now mention Washburn Div 1 from Last weekend, I would like to point out the following. I know a padder that got promoted to Div 1 in April and sent an entry in for Washburn Two days after promotion. The paddler also emailed the week of the event to see the likelihood of getting an entry and...

Re: Proposed rule change.
My proposal was that a promoted paddler has two weeks from promotion to enter all the remaining Races in that Division with a guaranteed place. So if the event is not full then there is no problem. When an event becomes full then the last entries received are marked provisional P1 onwards. These get...

Proposed rule change.
Division 1 is to big. If everyone is going to enter, then most events haven't the water time. So entries are turned away and anyone that gets promoted hasn't a fair chance. If we demote a large percentage of Div 1 to Div 2 and then some Dive 2 to 3 this could sort the problem out, but its already be...

Re: Restructuring the divisions
There seams to be several discussions going on hear. I agree with JJ. We should bring back events like Llangollen. I recon I raced there for at lest 27 years, in Div1, Prem and British Open. With not a singe incident. Swam the length of it when I changed to C2. Have we all got soft. If we hold anoth...

Re: Restructuring the divisions
Don't decrease Div 1 or you will get paddler giving up. They don't want to race in Div 2 its a grate Division full of kids and the water is easy. I would just leave div 2 as it is. We just need to get more paddlers int Div 3/4 So hear is an option /proposal. If a race is restricted to 150 entries bu...

Re: Restructuring the divisions
I wish we had a HPP in the South west but we don't, so I will continue spending hours slinging gates across any river I can find. Perhaps HPP is getting a lot of criticism hear because they have a fantastic successful facility which we would all like. As for juniors starting to early, thats just an ...

Re: HPP 1/2 7th & 8th May
Has anyone considered moving the event to another location.
How about the Tryweryn on the grave yard.
This could be a better option than an alternative weekend as everyone has planed there diaries.

Re: Looking After Each Other
So slalom has changed. We now have J12 and J14 paddlers out numbering adults. But everyone goes in bib order. So you could have a J12 and 14 or even Two J12s responsible for rescuing an adult in difficulty. So lets look at the worst possible case. You have a large adult stuck upside down in his Cano...
