Thanks Spiderman, for uploading the material from the 1974 race [link at bottom on main www.canoeslalom page]. What a treat – that was the year that I was most heavily – if briefly - involved as a youth. Great to see the paddlers names, as you say, but also the names and pics of the old boats in the adverts ! I bought an Olymp V that year [and the name of the person I bought it off is in the start list for the race].
It was especially pleasing to see how big Chester was in slalom in those days – both the CC and my club, the YMCA. Whatever happened ?
