CANCELLED Dart Slalom 21st and 22nd March

Post by Alison » Wed Feb 05, 2020 9:07 pm

Since the Dart Slalom has moved to the end of February there is no longer an entrance fee to pay to get into the venue. This should make the event much more affordable to families.

We are also planning on changing the running order this year so we can easily have a different div 3 start point to the div 2 if needed.

Please come and support this event which is in a lovely setting but is unlikely to run in future years if we do not get more competitors.

Just in case the late entry fees were putting you off we're not charging any so still time to get an entry to in.

Please be aware with the current weather warnings out for rain in the south west over Friday and early Saturday morning we are watching the levels on the Dart very closely. We should have a much better idea tomorrow morning on whether we are likely to be able to run the event or not. Please check your emails before traveling down.

With great regret we are cancelling the event this weekend. Predicted river levels are certainly too high for a race to run on Saturday and there is too much uncertainty on whether we could safely construct a course for Sunday.

All paddlers will receive a refund and we will investigate if we can move the event to another weekend.

So we've had the go ahead and we've rescheduled to 21st and 22nd March! No late fees to pay and we've also been invited to the paddler party which is happening that weekend in the park.

In these uncertain times and with such a small entry it has been decided that the Dart slalom will not run this year. We hope you will be able to support us in 2021.
