Re: OHM Training Device?

Many thanks - I see now!
I was thinking this was some kind of off-water simulation and couldn't make any sense of it in that context!
Some years ago, my local training venue was a small pond and this would have been very valuable in that situation.

OHM Training Device?

Does anyone know what the OHM Device that is advertised on the website is or does?
I tried the link to further details, but I am no wiser!

Re: Hexham Slalom Location?

Many thanks for the clarification, Mike!
The text you've added to the system since I entered makes it clear that the event is at Wark.
See you in March.
Jerry.

Hexham Slalom Location?

The google maps directions from the on-line calendar place this event in Hexham. However, the map reference in the yearbook is for Wark, around 15 miles from Hexham. Is this a new site, for example using Hexham Weir, or is this a re-naming of Wark slalom?
Either way, I'll see you there!
Jerry.

Pan-Celtic Designation!

I have recently put entries in for two of the Pan-Celtic events.
I am now showing on the submitted entry lists as representing Independent/Scotland; this is an amusing consequence of not being a club member and not necessarily a controversial political statement!!

Re: Vets - New Points System Please

Since the merger into a single division, I have enjoyed re-discovering local Div.2 events, etc. It is clear that the presence of Vets at such events is very welcome to boost entry numbers, unlike at some over-subscribed Div.1s. It is very pleasing to see the numbers on our start line steadily increa...

Re: Back-up Dates?

Mrs C P Paddler said: ........when mad ideas like this pop up. I have revived this thread in view of the very understandable Bala cancellation. It is clear that the back-up idea would not work for Prem & Div.1, in view of the issues highlighted with the timing team etc. and the complexity of the man...

Re: Vets' Points

I've only been to a few events since the system changed, but I too like the current arrangement. There seems to be a very good spirit of camaraderie around the vets start lines at present, exemplified by Chris's post above. We are also starting to see an increased interest in the category and a grea...

Re: Division 2/3 Veterans Trophy

I too am pleased with how the Vets are now going. I had reservations about the new system, but I have been pleasantly surprised by the current reinvigoration of the category. I'll see you all on the start line later in the season! I have two possible suggestions for the second trophy: * Best new Vet...

Back-up Dates?

In view of recent unavoidable cancellations, should we perhaps consider a system of provisional and back-up dates for events, as is used for surf competitions? This would probably not apply for artificial courses and most dam release events, but it could be very useful for those venues that are pron...

Slalom Personal Performance Awards

I see from the current BC coaching newsfeed that British Canoeing are introducing slalom personal performance awards. Could anyone who is involved please explain what these are for and why they are needed? Surely the way to demonstrate and develop personal performance in slalom is to enter events an...

Re: VET points Plan B

I arrived late to the start line this season, owing to some personal issues, as I did not race until August. I was sceptical about the change to the VETs system, but I now like the current situation, especially the increased numbers and informal positive atmosphere.

Veteran Scoring

Happy New Year to all! Looking ahead at the 2018 calendar, with the new veteran system in mind, a question occurs to me that I haven't seen discussed yet (although I may have missed it!): Is the ranking in the new veterans single division based on the best 3 events, as with 2/3 or the best 5, as wit...
