To be introduced before lunch, to allow discussion over lunch. The individual rule changes are not listed here, but are available on the agenda Entry Fees There are reports from several clubs, at all divisions, that when running a competition, it is very difficult to make a profit. Many competition...

There is duplication in the rulebook that refers to the treatment of entry cards after a race. These have become different over time. This option seeks to remove the rules where possible, and where rules remain, they should be in agreement that cards do not need to be retained for significant time ...

This is a cleaning up to make explicit that any boat can be used at division 2 to 4, but that having a suitably robust boat is a safety issue. If accepted, motion 6.5 will be amended to reflect this change before adoption. ................................... Page 75 3.3.3 At divisions 2 to 4 compet...

Jointly proposed by Manvers Waterfront Boat Club / Manchester Canoe Club / Kingstone Kayak Club Young paddlers should be able to develop their techniques in appropriately sized boats, regardless of their division. With the increase of younger paddlers coming into the sport and the potential for thei...

C 2 Discount with Enhanced Fee There is a confusion about C2 entries. The intent of the 2017 motion is that there is a discount of 50% of the standard entry fee. Where a competition has an enhanced entry fee this rule has been incorrectly interpreted either as a C2 always paying 50% of any entry fe...

Allow organisers to specify that they do not want to accept paddle up entries for safety reasons, or capacity, such as at selection races or competitions with limited water time. The default will be to accept paddle ups at all races. ........................... Page 82 6.2.2 UK The deadline for ent...

Currently Open entry fees are set at £6 for a single and 8.50 for a double. This does not reflect the charging method for ranking entries, nor the amounts charged. ..............................................................................................................

Short Notice Division 4 races are included in the handbook and the guidance, but no allowance is made in the rules. The rules will be extended to make this clearer. ............................................................................................................ Page 113 19.1.5 Alteration...

Postponement of Races The rules allow races to be cancelled, they do not currently allow races to be postponed. So if a race is affected by high water, it cannot currently be rearranged to a later weekend and the race is permanently lost This motion seeks to allow the current process where races can...

Season Length (Dave Spencer) The slalom season is continuously extending. In 2020 it is planned to start in February and end in November. Is this a good thing for the sport. This may include a discussion of managing the Calendar, relating to the number of the races in each division in a period, the ...

8.2 Veterans Points (Andy Neave)
There are discussions relating to the ranking of Veterans and various methods of calculating the points and
ranking paddlers across the divisions. This is intended to start discussion with the aim of a Committee (or
club) motion to the 2020 ACM.

8.3 Pan Celtic / Vet & Junior / Interclubs Championships Races (Martyn Setchell)
These events are outside the ranking races. How should they fit in with the calendar, and should they run
in parallel with ranking races.

That's what happens when you reuse a form when you are away and forgot to proof read properly.
I will correct it shortly.

Sorry

Yes folks it's that time again. Once again I am calling for any club based motions for the ACM. Is there something bothering you? Something we could do better? or have you found an error in the yearbook? If so get your motions to the Secrtary of the Slalom Committee ([url]mailto:slalom.secretary@bri...
