Slalom Posters
We are happy to publish a miniature on this page, linked to your bigger poster. The miniature will be small. Keep pictures and text big and bold!
Calendar for 2020
You can view the provisional race calendar for next year HERE>. It's very much provisional - don't make bookings around it! Some changes are already in the pipeline.
You have to log in (same login as for CanoeSlalomEntries).
If you have a sponsor...
Or a second club, please email to get it put on the ranking database. Adding it to your online entry will get it into the results for that race, but it won't get it anywhere more permanent.
Get Reinstated
Used to paddle slalom? Reckon you could still kick .....? Why not get reinstated and race again? Or you'd like to have a shot at another class, or you're just a good paddler who's never got into slalom? Here's a form to make applying for reinstatement/ranking easy.

Chris Kevane Sadly, Chris Kevane passed away last week. Chris made the British Team in C2 back in his younger days and he returned to slalom with his son Luke, eight years ago. In that time, Chris has given so much to the sport, particularly at Lower Wharfe Canoe Club, with the Yorkshire Region Slalom Committee and helping to coach the Regional Squads. The passion Chris had for the sport, his great humour and his willingness help anyone will be deeply missed. The funeral will be held at 1.00 pm on Friday 25th October at Harrogate Crematorium, Wetherby Road, HG3 1DE |

Returning Bibs
It's almost the end of the season, and once you've done your last race it's time to return your bib. Please send it back to your Bib Officer, with at least £1.32 in postage on the envelope, and enclose a small stamped addressed envelope for your bib voucher.
C1M Div 2 and 3: Nigel will be at Dart and Shepperton, and at Stone every Tuesday night and HPP most Wednesday evenings. Just find the big blue van or Vet bib 8.
K1M Div 3: Karen will collect bibs at Stone.
K1W Div 2 and 3: Donna will be at Stone.
Promoted?
What to do if you get promoted late in the year
If you are promoted late in the year and won't be racing in your new division until next year, get in touch with the Bib Officer for your new division. He/she will probably ask you to fill in a bib application form and post it (or scan and email it) so they can complete their records.
If you are going to race, please try to get a bib. A bib number in your new division will be issued automatically, and you can use the online entry system at once for races that offer it, but you must apply for your new bib or your points will be suspended.
Send to the Bib Officer for your new division:
Your old bib (you are swapping your old
bib for your new one)
A large, strong SAE with
at least £1.32 postage on it
A copy of the
bib application form, filled
in and signed
A copy of your British Canoeing / Canoe Wales / SCA / CANI membership card
And PLEASE make sure you put enough postage on! MORE>
