Quaker I understand your desire for a permanent freeze in fees and I don't think I'll be able to persuade you otherwise. My point was that the existing rule was well-constructed. In the example given, it did (in 6 years out of 10) result in an unchanged fee. The reason for the proposed change is th...

Thanks CP. The preamble to the motion says: The existing rule has served the Committee and the organising clubs well since it was introduced in 1997. It has enabled the entry fees to either remain unchanged or to increase by small amounts each year without the need to agree changes at each ACM. As ...

:( Bit of a mix-up with the handover of kit at HPP. Pingu really is lost !! :( :( :( I've recovered some of the kit but the following has disappeared from HPP: Peak cagdeck. Short-sleeves, black (Almost new) Black neoprene deck (Almost new) Peak drytop. Long sleves with neck seal torn (pretty old) ...

I have always thought that Canadan paddlers have a bit of their brain missing. However, probably I'm just jealous that due to football injuries I'm not flexible enough to get into a C1.

I believe the powers that be may have missed the point what this sport is about because I know some of the paddlers have. I will spell it out for you who fall ...

Great to be back racing at Llangolly. Thanks to everyone involved in the preparation and organisation of the event. Hopefully the town's traders' noticed an increase in trade and will support races in the future. It would be good though to get a written agreement for continued access that will bene...

I've read the comments here and on other threads which also discussed the costs of entry and discounts for juniors. I don't know the comparitive figures for other sports but can contribute a couple of comments and observations: Firstly, at one of the first Slalom Committee AGM's that I attended the...

Out of interest I looked at a 1992 year book at events accessable from the SW - there were many, ...... Worcestershire - Martley, Kinver CC, ........ Where have they gone why not noe run - this is something we need to look at but it is all going to take time and manpower - perhaps we need a seperat...
