why why why
what do these sickos get out of destroying property that isnt theirs? is it the HPPCC stores that have been damaged or others too its not clear from the footage and what about insurance hopefully the club has some or is it down to individuals
in the meantime lets pull together and try and help those who have lost their boats/kit even if its just a short term loan of a boat

Its been a very upsetting day for all concerned, the worst moment for me being when my son phoned to tell me what he had heard had happened, and he sounded so distraught - its his whole world they have tried to destroy for mindless kicks. However angry and sad we feel though I just keep reminding myself that they will never destroy the talent, enthusiasm, fun and sheer determination of the paddlers - it won't stop them paddling or enjoying the sport. Yes I am well angry and deeply saddened for the club and the individuals but we are survivors - the evil people that did this are not.
I agree with all the sentiments, but could the title of this post be changed please. The "***" obviously imply a swearword and I think this really brings us down to the arsonists level (well maybe not quite that far, but...)

I feel for all who are affected, and if I/Proteus can help just let us know!

All spelling errors are intentional and are there to show new and improved ways of spelling old words. Grammatical errors are due to too many English classes/teachers.

Apologies but whilst I can edit the post it wont let me edit the title -
So perhaps "Flamin" or "Flipin" but certainly not "Fun"
Maybe just put it down to a "Freudian" slip.
Sympathy for all those affected, hope they catch the Neds, unfortunately we no longer allow the justice that the Pierrepont family were famous for. Perhaps a period locked up on bread and Trent Water might get them to mend their ways...

i saw the news on our local BBC channel. i totally feel for all those affected by the actions of some irrasponsible and total idiots.
im sure my clubs West Yorkshire CC & Halifax CC (although i can't speak personally for Halifax CC) would be more than happy to assist in short term loan of equipment to all those paddlers. We at WYCC have several plastic boats that can fill the gaps left.
can we all think of those slalom paddlers who lost kit and are in need for the world's which is coming up.

The GB team left with all their kit for the World Champs 1 day before the incident, so thankfully this will not affect preparations.
However, that is not to say it did not affect any of those paddlers - some had other boats/kit in the lock-ups. Personally, I had 3 boats destroyed!
Everyone out here in Seu is very sad and frustrated to hear the news.

Firstly on behalf of Holme Pierrepont CC thank you all very much for the comments and posts of sympathy over the past few days.
The club has been hit pretty hard by the fire, losing lots of plastic boats, Open Canadians lots of BA's, every single paddle the club had and a newish fleet of slalom boats and we are currently looking at short term recovery plans.
I will be posting on the Boards/Canoeslalom webpage fairly soon once we have figured out what to do next (and once we have some new secure storage in place) as we will be looking to replace our fleet.
