Re: Repair Kit
As Jim says Tap for weekend repairs. Good to have some Araldite Rapid for a quick paddle repair. Take a look at Easy composites. They sell everything you will need. They also have some good Videos so you can find out how to do it. Repairs in the Cold Winter are the hardest. My Wife has the Boat on t...

Re: C1 Disaster Imminent?
Not sure you are correct Jim. We have Two new C1 Ladies at Wyedean and one at Taunton. All started in one division below there rankings. So lots of swimmers at HPP last weekend. It looks like development squads get additional funding for C1s so everyone is now pushing C1. Boats are a problem as all ...

Re: Vets' Points
I agree leave it as it is. if you look back 4 years ago there was hardly any Vets and now there are Bid 60s. So the changes have worked and everyone is enjoying it, so much I am going to join you next year. If it keeps increasing like this we are going to end up having a stand alone event. But I an ...

Re: Points calculations with DNFs
I agree with Steve on this. There is an obvious mistake and it just needs correcting. 2nd place would get something like 3 additional point. In a class where promotion it always tight this could make a difference at the end of season. I personal will get less points, but the correct points I should ...

Re: Sshhh – it’s a secret! The Pan Celtic
I agree with you Cee Bee.
But we must keep it all quiet as there is a Bala Mill Pan Celtic on June 8/9. So far Wales have entries, England have about 2 and it doesn't look like Scotland have any. Has anyone invited Ireland.

Re: Vets' Points
I don't think you need to change anything. 5 year ago when I started back I went Vet. There was hardly any competition and I got first. So I decided to go into Div1. Then you have changed the system and there are now 50 plus Vets and some good competitons. If I went back into Vets then I usually get...

Re: Sshhh – it’s a secret! The Pan Celtic
The Pan Celtic was an event everyone that didn't make a GB team wanted to paddle in years ago. We used to even send a team to Ireland. Now over the years it has got degraded, forgotten or just made unpopular. The hole Slalom sport now is just looking for the next Olympic Champion. The bottom divisio...

Re: Vets' Points
I belive there should be Vets points, with a trophy and the Best Vet should get it. There should also be a Mens / Ladies K1 and C1 with possible C2 Classes. But there douse need to be a points system which rewards paddling at the higher Divisions. At Grandtully Prem where was just One Vet and he got...

Re: Encouraging volunteers
I don't now the circumstances, or the event. But I take it you were at Oughtibridge Div3/4. So my view is in Prem Slalom if you are 1min late for your published run time, you miss it and the protest has to be in on time. In div 1 its almost the same but there could be some flexibility. Like you can'...
