Re: Isn't it strange?
I wonder what will happen about points and demotions if we do get half a season this year? Does everybody get short season exemption because, well, it is? Or change the points thresholds?

Re: Start countdown clock
That's a great thing to do, now I won't have the starter accidentally yelling into the headset at Washburn! And they will have less of a sore throat. Thanks!

No Howsham?
Just looking at the upcoming events section - there's no Howsham! Is it really no more?
One of these years I was going to do that course right and end the weekend not injured! :'(

Re: Course Design.
This year, 3/4 courses have mostly been set for where there's enough water in between the rocks to fit some gates in! If you have a secret source of people who aren't tired on a Saturday afternoon to come and set a completely different course for the Sunday, I want to know where you keep them becaus...

Re: Paddler Retention
I also wonder if, on becoming an adult and having to do all the driving, kit cleaning, cooking, camping stuff, laundry, dishes, housework, and having a job, they just don't have the energy to train hard enough to stay in Prem, and when they find themselves slipping down the rankings, feel like they'...

Oughtibridge 3/4 21st/22nd September travel
Hi everybody, There are likely to be a few travel problems around Sheffield on the weekend of Oughtibridge slalom (21st-22nd September) so I thought I'd put them up here and warn people. Saturday 21st September : Football match at Hillsborough, kickoff 15:00. Likely to be traffic on the way through ...

Re: Repair Kit
And a hairdryer. Because right when you need the weather to be hot and dry to set your resin nicely, it'll get cold and damp. My Hello Kitty £5 super discount find has done some serious work after the Wagon Lanes of recent years!

Re: Encouraging volunteers
