Thanks again

just incase you havnt noticed;

because of the cancelled event at Bala Mill, we have opened our arms to welcome all those paddlers who would have competed at Bala

we have decided that all paddlers who entered bala will not have to pay a late entry fee.

we look forward to seeing everyone.

RussJohnson
