Following discussion at a recent meeting of the BC Slalom Committee, I have received a letter whose text is below. As a result, we will not be verifying membership validity at August Grandtully Div 1 competition. I have been advised that posting on this chat line is what is expected as public confir...

Hello Dee Please include me. I will not be travelling to Shepperton ( think I last paddled there in the 1960's with the likes of Dave Mitchell and Keith Wickham and that mob) But if you find yourself anywhere near Edinburgh or Grandtully over August English Bank Holiday, I would love the opportunity...

Dee I have every sympathy for you in having cheques rejected by your bank, and dealing with post-dated cheques. We need to put a stop to this practice which has been initiated by well intentioned but misguided people attempting to help people with apparent financial problems. It is simply putting of...

As at 11 February, the Start List for Grandtully DIv 1 August 27-28 is 50 % full.

All entries received to date have been processed.

I am processing entries for Grandtully Div 1 August 27-28. To date (1 Feb) I have 70 entries received. That is a third of them done and dusted. I am quite content to process entries as soon as people wish to send them. Entrants just need to know that I present all cheques as soon as received. If any...

PS Out of interest Kelso. What do you do if you have to cancel the event. It must be quite a big of work for the treasurer to individually refund each entry. Much easier to just shred the cheques! I had to cancel a major event (not Slalom) a few years ago when the river was at flood level (higher t...

I am with you all the way Dave.
See my post concerning Grandtully Div 1 Slalom in August...

Our bank process cheques regardless of post-dating...
Get them into the bank, so they do not get lost.

I guess we all have our own ways of processing entries. I consistently - Record any cheque (record the cheque number, payor and competitor), POs, cash etc. on the day I open an envelope. - Check for signature (I receive a couple without signature each year) - Check for any date (I write the day's da...

Hello Sven I am sorry if this upsets you. It has been my club's procedure since 1934 to try to operate in a businesslike manner, and present all payments to our bank as soon as received. In the last few years I have received invalid cheques and cheques which have bounced, and this has caused inconve...

Please note that various works are planned for Grandtully Campsite during early 2016. CLOSED GATES AND CONES DO APPLY TO YOU..... SOME OF THIS WORK IS DANGEROUS. 1. TREE SURGERY AND MANAGEMENT (Following inspection and advice from the Scottish Forestry commission...) With regret we will be cutting d...

PRELIMINARY INFORMATION January 22 2016 from Kelso Riddell PLEASE READ POINT 3. And tell your friends... Alistair is busy working in Cuba, so I am processing entries for August Grandtully again... Seven months to go, and we have started to receive entries for this event. A first scan of the mail ind...
