Re: Vets - New Points System Please

Although I am not currently paddling in Vets, I intend to register for next year, I agree that the points system currently seems unfair. I will paddle div 2 races with hopefully a couple of div 1's and would certainly not expect to get more points than someone paddling all the premium races. I think...

Re: Division 2/3 Veterans Trophy

If my memory serves me right Terry Griffiths has won the Alan Harwood trophy 10 times. I stopped him getting 10 in 2015 :D but he won again in 2016. If the trophy is not to awarded I think Terry should get it to keep, winning 10 times ia quite an achievement. Seriously thinking about joining vets ag...

Re: Simplifying Vets

My opinion for what it's worth. I paddled div 2/3 vets for about 10 years but opted back into the 'normal' ranking system at the end of the 2015 season, the reason being I got fed up being the only Vet at a lot of races and often being stuck right at the end of the startlist nowhere near the people ...

Re: Div 2/3 Vets

I agree with Mike. I paddled Div 2 K1 Vet for a number of years but went back to Div 2 master this year as there were just not enough Vets at events. I found myself many times right at the end of startlists on my own, not much fun. I think a re-vamp is required. :)

Re: Grandtully (Tully) Div 2/3 Aug 13/14

Rob,
That's great news, bit selfish on my part probably, but I raced the Div2/3 last year and felt a bit cheated that the best part of the river had been omitted :D

Ian,
I was at the open day and had to roll in the top stopper on 3 pumps, so quite glad it's only 2. See you Friday night or Saturday morning. :D

Re: Grandtully Division 1/2 and Pan Celtic

I think everyone owes the organisers I huge thanks. The event ran really smoothly (from a competitors view anyway). I arrived quite late on Saturday morning and with the event being full was expecting parking chaos, but no, the parking was easy, and FREE (take note August Tully where we are shoe hor...

Re: Tynedale Div 2/3

Hi Mike,
Yes that makes sense, being a paddler of a certain age (competeing in vets) I need the water to be flowing as much as possible to make it easier for me as I am so slow. The more water the better. :D
