Serpents Tail - It's coming back - October 23/24
It's not going to happen anytime soon. The last time we ran an event there, I think we had about 20 entries before the race, as there weren't enough div 2s who thought themselves ready to race there. I don't think div 2 has changed that much in the intervening time. Of course the answer may be found in the thread on slalom structure, but I'm staying out of that one.
No, they weren't particularly well attended as I remember. However, I always found it odd that they weren't run as Div 1/2s. That would have increased attendance dramatically, with the Div 1s running Serpents on Saturday and moving on to Town Falls on Sunday.
I've always believed that technically Serpents Tail is a harder bit of water to slalom than Town Falls, which is a bit of a one hit wonder.

Ty Canol Caravan Park is open for 51 weeks of the year and we have sited some of the most desirable static caravans and twin leisure park homes in this lovely quiet and private site. Situated in a quarry surrounded by the softest green trees and plants with a tranquil pond filled with fish and wildlife. This site is well worth a visit to comprehend the peace and tranquility it holds.
There is a laundry on site. We have new sites available for park homes, but we do not have tourers or camping on this site.
I obviously wasn't there so the deck ain't mine though.
