Matlock - Div 2/3

oldandslow · Post by **oldandslow** » Tue Mar 23, 2010 8:04 pm

Only a month to go to your favourite Derbyshire slalom. Don't forget to get your entries in on time to avoid the dreaded judging rota. As ever, late entrants may have to judge.

Prems, Div1's and Div 4's you are all very welcome to enter the Officials' Competition. This competition has been revived this year and the current rankings for this are now on the website.

If you don't want to paddle you are still welcome to judge, if you know how. Parents & Partners why not avoid the crush and fumes of the A6 for a comfy river-side seat!

Looking forward to it (particularly the food!). My entry should (hopefully) be with you now

Now to start the sun dance...

There's less than 2 weeks to go now to Matlock slalom - the weather and river are both perfect at the moment. (Killer is just showing his nose!). Keep your fingers crossed that they stay that way.

Please let me have your entry before the event if you can. There will be no "Late Entry Fee" if I recieve your cards by post by Thursday 22nd April, as it's much less stressful than "entries-on-the-day" - and there is a high chance that you will end up on the judges rota if you do leave it to the last minute.

Thanks to everyone who has entered already, the startlist is in the calander for you to check you're there (with entries received up to Saturday).

See you all soon,

Donna

I've just been away and couldn't open the door for entries... thanks everyone! I'll sort them out when I get back from Bala tomorrow and ask Nick to post a new startlist.

The new start list is up - thanks Nick. The river's still looking perfect and the weather forcast good. Keep your entries coming. I will be taking entries up to 9.45 on Saturday and 9.15 on Sunday. If I get your entry by post on Thursday, there will be no "late-entry-fee" to pay.

Thanks to everyone who came to Matlock and made it an amazing competition. It will take me a few days to check all the cards, but I'll get the final results on here as soon as I can. Thanks to everyone who helped in any way.
Donna.

Found: 1 hat!

Thanks Donna for running a great event. Good challenging courses despite the low water level.

Ditto - A good w/e - well organised and lots of judges so judging stints were short.
It was a good turn out - A big thanks to Donna and the Matlock team.

Here here... Great event all round, bar the monsoon-style rain shower.

Well done and thank you...

The monsoon styleeee rain shower was great, I was lovely and cosy in the caravan

I concur with the others though, nice, relaxing event and a lot of competitors!

what's the hat like?

oldandslow · Post by **oldandslow** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 6:57 pm

brown and woolly. Too warm to wear in tropical Matlock!!!

I was videoing at the time of the monsoon. The camera stopped working even though I tried to put it under my shirt. I've always thought that videos and wet t-shirts had a place, but obviously not on me.

The results for Matlock are now up and included in the rankings. Thanks everyone for coming and congratulations to all those who gained promotion points. I've still got a hat, now washed and living in my boot (car not walking!) until it's claimed.
