Okay there's less than a week to go to the last in the series.
As before the course will go up at around 11am on the Saturday allowing free practice from around 1pm on Saturday through to 1045-ish on the Sunday. Entries will close at about 1015.
Being the last of the three minis there will be a 10 boat final at the end, made up of those paddlers who have attended all three events with the best results.
See you all on Sunday

Yet another "Big Up" to the S&S Crew both outside the clubhouse and in it Lurvly staggery course too One of the Vikings fancied a C1 run and within 2 minutes of asking if a club boat was available, there it was! Brilliant! I captured a handful of the top ten on video and, due to the wonders of modern technology, I was able to upload it to the lappy, edit it, title it and lay a sound track over it i the backseat of the car on the way home! For this reason, it is already on Vimeo here:-

It is actually also in my "slalomvids" ID on YouTube but the quality of the upload there is nowhere near as good
On a personal note, I wish to continue to express my thanks to all those who ask me how the boat situation is going! Some dont know its been recovered, some dont know Jim McC has it and is about to repair it. But as I walked around today several smashing folk (you know who you are) were very sympathetic and obviously pleased, of course, that it was being sorted I love this community

Thanks for the kind words regarding the video I think it assists the sport to get it online in the general public domain and I also think it is one of the best training aids for those who wish to improve at it.
And for those of you who cannot wait for the official results, I have uploaded a pic of those posted on the wall here:-

However, this does not include the final top ten event which was great to watch!

The course saw the introduction of the first UK "single pole" to negotiate.
Is there any feedback on the use of the single pole, particularly on this standard of water. I am considering single poles for my club's event, if for no other reason than to make course maintenance easier, but if I have to place a second pole on the bank [Rule 27.1 "In the case of only one (1) pole gate, a second pole will be placed on the respective bank side to define the gate line"] there doesn't seem much benefit.
