Unofficial UK Slalom BBS

Ladies & Gents To highlight that due to circumstances outwith our control and to ensure the safety of participants, officials and spectators we (Aberdeen Kayak Club) are seeking to re-schedule the Seaton Div 3-4 slalom from 21-22 May to a date in September to be confirmed. In essence this decision h...

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 ...

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...

An interesting post and declaration- British Canoeing is a Company Limited by Guarantee with operating responsibility discharged from Board through CEO to advisory committees with set remit. It is a requirement and policy of BC that participants at competitive events be member of BC or other recogni...

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...

However irrespective of my Coaching Qualifi...

A similar situation occurred a few years ago on BC HQ doorstep involving the then CEO training in a flat water racing craf...

Can you check and update - current Run 1 and Run 2 have the same start times (with the exception of Tony)

Thanks

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...

What was happening off course Friday & Saturday evening Hope it didn't scare the campers - http://www.2.8hourslater.com/

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...

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.
