Yes thanks they took printouts to school for show and tell and this is Kevin the dad Jo is the mum and she did paddle c2 many moons ago as the Royal Docks has one but no way will she ever be belted into a boat again:)

Sounds like a case for an OPEN C2 entry!! And/Or perhaps Kevin in a C1??

Doesnt time fly? The next Winter Slalom is THIS SUNDAY!!

The kitchen is full of little cakes, and mutterings about even more double chocolate chip muffins. (The rest of thehouse is full of mutterings like 'I WANT TO GET BACK IN A BOAT!' from some grumpy old man!)

So are you a man/woman or a mouse? DO you want to see Kev in a C2 again?will Dan get conned into a K1 again? Do you want to win a cake as well as a prize? Come on down on Sunday.

Just so you know, you will be slightly safer - Kate is organising, so being relieved of your money for entries will be much more gentle!

See you Sunday

Well done to Kate for organising and running Orton Mere Slalom, seeing as CP is still a cripple (or skiving!!!).

Also really good to see a couple of rather well known Premier C1 paddlers supporting the youngsters.

PS The Chocolate Muffins are still as good as ever, well done Mrs. CP!!

:p

I second that last post. Thanks for a well run & friendly event!

Boys enjoyed themselves (and the chocolate muffins), but why aren't the results up on the proteus web site yet? The event finished at least 5 hours ago

Sorry Dee, communications between Kate and the Web site are slower as they go via a 1 armed bandit.

I second Kev S's comments, thanks for coming down and showing the rest of us how good it can be!

See you all in May

hello and well done to yous lot down there. The event looks to have gone very well.
the frost bite at teesside went well with some good raceing a little low on numbers but there was some top prem paddlers there so i had to give them a race should i say. Well done from all at the Frost Bite

Indeed, a well run and very enjoyable day, and it was even warmer than the November date.
Hope to see you in May and July.

Cheers, Bri
