Re: Time for a radical rethink?

I totally agree Dave that there could be more money at grass roots to help increase participation. This could in turn increase overall performance of the nation if managed well and this could be the only justification I could see for such performance funding going into this.

Re: Time for a radical rethink?

Its great to see the passion this subject evokes in paddlers who obviously care about the sport. For many of us it has been a major factor in our lives for a long time and even when some paddlers have been away from the sport for many years it is obvious they still care deeply about its future. I th...

Christopher BOWERS

Congratulations to Christopher BOWERS for qualifying in 5th place and making 14th place in the final, on what I think is his first race in the GB Senior team. Its a great start to any senior international career.

Re: Future of C2

So mixed C2 is back at World level. No disputing gender equality there then.

Re: Future of C2

One answer was to possibly include mixed C2, it was in the Worlds for many years. This would certainly encourage gender equality and not least a bit much needed cooperation and communication between the sexes.

Re: Linton Locks reborn

In response to JJ It would be good to know if the slalom committee are taking care of Slaloms future interests in it? Lets not make the same mistakes as in the past, if slalom does not have a guarantee of future use in the form of a written contract, then the Slalom Committee should publicly withdr...

Llangollen anglers and the Dee partnership do not control access on the banks or water of the Town falls r...
