For younger paddlers, when people don't always come down in the correct bib order, it can be really difficult to know when you are free to get off, so any decision to disqualify needs to be carefully taken in context.

HPP is a large successful club. It has an active network of coaches and runs coaching sessions on the white water throughout the week. A child starting out as a young HPP paddler has the potential (as John has suggested) to gain a lot of experience quickly if they choose to devote the time to traini...

Thanks

Jack Wills ladies navy gillet was lost at HPP. If you have picked it up by mistake please can you return it to HPP control or if you are going to any future Div 1 races we can arrange to collect it from there.

Thanks

We have found a C1 now, thank you.

Looking for a C1, 60-75kg, in good condition. We are Nottingham based.
