Oh and we won't even go onto the cost of the Kit. The kit is already there and could be used, [not at every event]. The paddlers pay there entry fees and travel to events just like the Div 1 and Prem. We seam to have lots of Volunteers lining up to weigh boats and disqualify paddlers, so this proba...

You mean I could get my garage back???!!!???

It would be good to have a timing beam at some of these races as paddlers are getting promoted on tenths of a second results. It takes a team of at least 9 people to run the timing system at P/1 events (could be done with a minimum of 5 volunteering full time during the day). There is a very small ...

When the Prem and Div 1's have all sent in their dates then yes!!! The late announcement of the Junior selection impacted on applications made by other clubs who have had to go away and reconsider when they wanted their events - they are now coming back to me. Those that have had the courtesy to con...

We've stayed at Penybont campsite before. It's on the other side of Bale by the lake so you would need to drive to the course. However, it's an easy walk into town in the evening so no need to drive back from the pub

I am pretty sure the Credit Card guarantee is only on purchased over £100. This seems to be backed up here http://www.moneysupermarket.com/credit-cards/guide-to-credit-card-protection/ However, I agree that the risk is small and as a sport I don't think we should be using valuable funds in effective...

"Dee. It's not enough to say that we need to follow the democratic process and overturn this nonsense...That's just committee bullshoot, used by committees the world over to justify their poor decisions. This was pushed through. It was a dumb idea and it is now proving to be a dumb practice. The com...

Also with events running on to 5/6pm on a Sunday night - some have 6 or 7 hour journeys home after this so school or work the next day is usually a right off. That goes for us who have to take down the equipment after the race, pack up the car and get home ready for work the next day too! It takes ...

Are you volunteering to run one :twisted: Yes, I would be happy to run an event in England if I could muster a team to help. From the person who "manages" the calendar I think you will find that there are a number of "issues" that arise when trying to run an Prem (and to some extent a Div 1) in the...

There are no C1M reserves & therefore no C1M for the Euro team - i dont understand why this is the case? I don't think that is correct. None of the C1M U23/ J have made the senior team therefore none of them have to give up their J/u23 Euros place so can complete at the J/u23 Euros and the J/u23 Wo...

The draft start list (which is subject to approval) for Saturday has morning and afternoon runs back to back i.e. not by discipline but by session.

I have been told (and have therefore told timing and the judges) that Demos are at 18:45 on Friday.

Isn't this more of an issue of employer/ employee confidentiality? The report states that investigations are still ongoing which indicates that there are matters still to be resolved.

No probs

HI Dee,

Just a quick question - is there any way of doing the online application for officials slots if you don't have a bib?

Thanks
