I hate Vets, can I enter Div 1 as a J14.

I would propose one easy rule. If you get promoted you are guaranteed an entry at every race that year provided you enter in say 2 weeks. You keep the same Bib so your new Number becomes something like 11P [ If you old division bib was 11] Its takes a week to get a new Bib at least, and you don't ne...

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 ...

Can you send me a screenshot please.

Ok Dee it is working tonight.
I had to delete the old entry and enter again.

Probably just me

Thanks

Mark, is this event full.

There are some 68 entries on the on line list.
When I enter it says the event is full ?

Don't start me off on the nonesense of timing in general and timing to 0.01s timing in our sport... I am going to start you off. Div 2 events this year. Easy courses and around 5 paddlers on every second of the result list. No Boat Weights thank goodness. But push button start and finishers. It wou...

Excellent run event as always. Thanks everyone.

Can we have a M60 as i find it hard beating M35s

From an Old paddler that Paddled in Div1 before they took the top 60 of us out and formed Prem. I then paddled in prem for over 20 years in K1, C1 and C2 and yes all at the same time in the early 90 s. In my comeback I now can't get into Prem but anyway Div 1 is a better division. I think PU is perf...

I will second that

Anyway pleased I have 2 out of 5 bibs back to my household and entries in for nearly all Div1/2 and some Prem this year for the Mitchell family.

Got my life sorted.

Is it permitted to refund £17 and make a further £3 charge at the same time without further authorisation from the card holder? Then a subsequent cancellation would be 2 transactions, £14 and £3. Tracking C2 permutations is something else! Possibly. As you can see though it is really not straightfo...

So we have changed the rules so that a few paddlers can get there boats on a Plain. In the 80s I remember before boat weight restrictions got introduced. Boats got measured in length and width. We also got BA fitted with the appropriate weight and put into a Tub for flotation. Helmets got scrutinise...

So having been around Slalom for a long time I have seen a lot of Rules changed.Some for the better and some just stupid. In the 70s there was no lower limit on Boat weight and the lightest boat I paddled by the early 80s was 13ld. in Glass and then 14ld in Kevlar. Thats around 6KG. Yes light boats ...

Thanks Dee that was easy.
Once it is on the Slalom web site and every gets used to it, postal entries will be a thing of the past.
You will probably need to set a start by date in 2018.

Just need a system to collect bibs at the first events now.

Sorry for being a bit slow hear. But I have just spent 5mins looking for a link for the Shepperton Div1 Slalom entry. So if you have 4 or so entries Dee it must be up and running. My Wife entered from a link sent from Alison, which I could also do but thats defeating the object. Perhaps its to early...
