Unofficial UK Slalom BBS

There are a few traffic issues that i thought that anyone traveling from the north might want to be aware of A1; The junction between the A1 & M18 motorways will be closed on a night basis to replace the current M18 road bridge. i don't know the times of the closure, i've heard 7pm, so only an issu...

its that time of year again! the West Yorkshire Canoe Club, WEST TANFIELD slalom has come around again. its one of the biggest events on the calendar. so make sure you get your entry sent in. Dont forget the fun TopoDuo event and the brilliant Hog Roast on saturday evening. PLEASE NOTE; 1) Camping ...

i don't actually know if the BCU are thinking of the idea, i heard just general paddlers talking about it, all of them seemed to think of it been a good idea. i am not to sure on either front, if this does happen, most of us wont need to worry as we pay to compete, but its those who are non paddler...

I've heard a few people talking about whether BCU membership should become compulsory for anyone joining a BCU affiliated club, a majority of these people aren't slalom (or any competitive discipline) paddlers. as we know, to compete we have to be BCU members for certain reasons. but a lot of peopl...

i saw the news on our local BBC channel. i totally feel for all those affected by the actions of some irrasponsible and total idiots. im sure my clubs West Yorkshire CC & Halifax CC (although i can't speak personally for Halifax CC) would be more than happy to assist in short term loan of equipment...

there is nothing that can be done about "inappropriate" paddlers been in the division, if they have skills of a good paddler when they got promoted out of div 4 then they will obviously excel in that division. just because their times are comparable to those of a Div 1 paddler doesn't mean they are...

totally agree. every paddler (especially the younger paddlers) are constantly developing. after a run that i feel was bad or could be improved, for either that race or another comp, by asking coaches or family/friends. if judge's sheets were made avaliable to see what errors we have made it would b...

Hi All Just to let you know, the washburn will be open on the 6/7th June for anyone wishing to use it. its a full day release on sat/sunday. its on the same weekend as HPP P/1 and Sowerby 3/4. but please feel free to come and practice if your not attending either event. Great catering team is on si...

Just a thought but would "bearercams" be better than pole mounted cameras? once a pole has been hit it can spin for quite a while and then you would have no idea about where the gateline is. In terms of using the technology for judging i think its a bit of overkill, but perhaps if a clear angle is ...

Erm, actually Russ, it is not the idea you came up with earlier. I think what we have here is what we in the design business call a brainstorming session. These typically produce ideas that get trashed (as they were thrown into the mix by firing from the hip or just being ill informed) but they DO ...
