Slalom Calendar 2012
 Division 4

MAR - APR - MAY - JUN - JUL - AUG - SEP - OCT - NOV

How hard will the course be?

Organisers try to use sites and set the gates at a level of difficulty to suit paddlers in the Division that's racing.

When the event is multi-divisional you can expect the course to be set for the higher division racing, so Div 3 paddlers can expect to find a 2/3 tough going, Div 2 paddlers should find 1/2 races difficult, and so on. You may prefer to pick races that are for just your own division, or yours and one down, to start with - but if you like bigger water and enjoy a challenge, go for harder ones!

Entry Cards

Only the Blue Cards with a signature box on are acceptable. The brown cards and other types should not be used.

You can get entry cards from:
Mrs S Paterson, 14 Clay St, Wymeswold, Loughborough LE12 6TY. Send her an envelope, 11 x 22 cms, stamped and addressed to yourself.

Postcodes and Satnav

Because a lot of people use satnav to find unfamiliar places, we include postcodes with the slalom details. Bits of river don't really have postcodes: we show the one for the nearest address we can trace. Using these should get you somewhere near the site but you might find yourself ½ km away, and even on the wrong side of the river.
