Thanks Jerry, see you in Winter 2013!
Thank you to all the competitors too for making it the event it was and all the coaches/parents/friends/siblings for doing the food, keeping the fire alight, judging etc

Statement from BCU: In November 2012 the Canoe Slalom International Panel issued a statement regarding pre-selection for the Great Britain Senior Team for the 2013 season. Following an appeal and due process, the decision to pre-select Olympic medallists will only be applied in the classes in which ...

Hi John, Thanks for your reply, and absolutely agree that Instructors are instructors, not coaches, and that the BCU renaming of everyone to coaches belittled the efforts and additional expertise of those who really were coaching, rather than instructing. You will however find plenty of people that ...

but in reality a competent division 2 paddler has much better boat skills than the average aspirant 5 star paddler True in terms of pure boat skills, but I have watched a div 3 paddler (who happens to be an experienced white water recreational paddler) pull a slalomist and their kit out in the same...

But my name still doesn't have an "A" in it
And I see Roy has listed himself in P/1 for 2013, so I guess we all go up a bib (down a number...I know what I think I mean!)

slow/flat water slalom training sites (apologies to Alva) Not at all...unless Alva is flooded, it's definitely a slow/flat water site...the pumps are on order, but still haven't arrived :lol: Breadalbane is a special case where nearly all coaching is provided via the SCA Not just Breadalbane, This ...

I have just sent event info to Nick, apologies for it being rather late! There will be a start list and further info on the CR Cats website, http://www.crcats.org (although maybe no start list until Friday eve!), results will be on canoeslalom.co.uk and the CR Cats website as soon as I can after the...

You get my vote Nick, and you should find that West Lothian, Stirling and CR Cats results will be from Simply Slalom. I have also tried to "break" Simply Slalom over the winter (with a bit of help from Ken) by using it to do handicap events, and I have to say it made our life a whole lot easier - an...

Don't know Nia's class or division. If Div2 K1W would have 83 points both days or if Div 3 K1W 200 points both days. :oops: I assumed Nia was also K1M...sorry! Without needing to advertise (although the RNLI will certainly be grateful) Simply Slalom has certainly simplified our events - next weeken...

Assuming they both paddle div 2 (I can't answer that bit of your question), then they should have both got 30 points (rule B5.3.1). If they're both div 3, then Danny would have got 300 points and Nia 100. That of course assumes that the respective K1M points are correct, which I didn't check (althou...

Hi,
Does anyone know if Washburn is releasing tomorrow, and if so what times? The water info line / email system / yorcie website all confirm the event but make no mention of anything else.

Great news, that makes navigating a lot easier!
Thanks Les, see you at the weekend.

Hi Les, Do you have any information on the he A59 closure - The A59 is closed between Skipton & Bluberhouses so those coming from the West will need an adjusted route. ? I have spoken to the campsite and searched the North Yorkshire Council website, but neither know anything about it. Apparently the...
