Shepperton Double Div 1/2 10th/11th March 2012

[Dee]

Sorry that we have had to cancel the Div 1, but I hope the div 2s are looking forward to the Shepperton race

For information on the event please go to General Information

For the Revised Provisional Start List for the Div 2 Race go to Div 2 Start List updated Friday 9th March 2012

Sorry, but if you are not on the list then you do not have a ranking run. I will take a small number of judges entries on the day + teams on Saturday

Prize giving will be 15mins after the last result is posted each day, subject to resolving any protests.

As many of you will be aware water levels are very low at the moment and this means Shepperton is rather flat. In spite of lots of rain on Sunday there has been little improvement and with little more than showers forecast this week we don't believe that water levels will reach the level appropriate for a div 1 race. It is therefore with regret that we have decided that
Shepperton Div 1 is Cancelled.

the Double Div 2 will definitely go ahead.

In addition we will be running a
Teams Event on Saturday for all Classes and Divisions.
For teams event only, entries will be taken on the day. Competition classes and prizes will depend on entries, though it would be nice to have canadian teams (1C2 +2C1), prem/1 teams M/W and 2/3 teams M/W

Hi Dee,

I hope you get some water and that the very well run event continues to provide an alternative, challenging Div 1 course to the downriver and man made courses. Even though I am no longer resident in the UK, I am still keeping a close eye on slalom there. Have fun!

[Dee]

Thanks Peter

Shame, but really appreciate the early decision, thanks Dee.
Things like this add to the strees levels, don't they?
