Re: Tully Paddle Ups - Second Class Paddlers...
The likely order of classes on both days will be: judges, P/1 Vet, C2, C1W, K1M, K1W, C1M All paddle-ups listed are confirmed for the day. Currently all paddle-ups have a judging stint. Please check in with control before racing begins. I suspect neither judging by the above rather the coercion of ...

Tully Paddle Ups - Second Class Paddlers...
Noted statement published for Grandtully Prem Race, Paddle Ups accepted but must undertake a Judging Stint! On what basis ? This is totally unfair and unjustifiable, there may be a lack of Judges for the event but then all entrants should be expected to support the event with a potential judging sti...

Re: Opening dates for entries -Personal Discussion thread
Really this is a subject for Organiser discretion. Add a line to the yearbook Application form for Organiser to set an open for entries date, leave the organiser to establish that date relative to other events and commitments and a desire to avoid losing the dining room table to cards for half a yea...

Re: Event Safety
Unfortunately JJ you hit the juxtaposition of this requirement: As qualified BC Coach I do not require to attend or complete the course to run a coaching course including courses where I will require paddlers to enter the water and evacuate or self rescue. However irrespective of my Coaching Qualifi...

Re: Event Safety
Unfortunately this has been brought about by a fatality in an other discipline. Not the first fatality but another involving a paddler not wearing a Buoyancy Aid nor lifejacket. A similar situation occurred a few years ago on BC HQ doorstep involving the then CEO training in a flat water racing craf...

Yorkshire Access - Washburn springs to mind!
Just seen this and thought worth sharing for the local slalom community to ensure they are involved.... We are currently in the process of putting together a response to Yorkshire Water for a consultation they are running. This is looking at ways they can increase the accessibility of their land and...

Re: musings on the sport
Attended an Event Safety presentation last night, in general I can see value in Clubs and Technical Disciplines etc having a system of nominated Safety Officers. the presentation and workshop are reasonable and thought provoking in terms of getting best practice and planning into event and club acti...

Re: English and Scottish Squad criteria for 2015-2016
I wouldn't try to compare the Scottish and English Programmes, they are very different. The Scottish Programme is very detailed and up front with what is being offered for the cost, the English Programme evolves throughout the year. I wouldn't get tied up with SCA Performance - it is not really rec...
