Get your 2010 bib!

This year you have a choice of two bib application forms. One is a form to be filled on on-screen and then printed, to be posted with your membership card, envelope and cheque or voucher. The other is a PDF to be filled by hand. Please don't use the PDF unless you are sure we will be able to read your handwriting!

And please make sure you put enough postage on. Even the application might be a "large letter".

A tip: Send an A4-size envelope for your bib. DON'T send a C5 (A5 size) one -  the extra fold makes the bib too fat for a "large letter" stamp.

Not sure of your age group?

Apart from Veterans, paddlers of all ages in a division and class race against one another, but usually there are special prizes for various age groups.

● If you were 11 or less on 1st January this year you are a J12

● If you were 12 or 13 on 1st January this year you are a J14

● If you were 14 or 15 on 1st January this year you are a J16

● If you were 16 or 17 on 1st January this year you are a J18

● If you were 18 - 22 on 1st January this year you are a U23

● If you were 23 or over on 1st January this year you are a Senior

● If you will be 35 or older on 31st December this year you can claim Master status (it used to be called DV or Divisional Vet) but it's up to you. When you apply for your bib you can "Opt in" as a Master or "Opt out" and be just a Senior. For Masters there is also an end-of-year league, banded M35, M40 and so on.

● M35: 35-39 on 31st December this year

● M40: 40-44 on 31st December this year

● M45: 45-49 on 31st December this year - and so on.

If you wish you can opt out of this even if you register as a Master.

This year's races have seen some extremes of weather and the final race was no exception, with three inches of snow falling in the night prompting a number of skiers to cross the football pitches during the day. MORE>

English Canoe Slalom Coaching Structure

A Joint Statement by Andy Maddock and Mark Shaw

In May 2009 GB Canoeing ceased its provision of the Junior Development Programme for English athletes of 16 years and under. The background behind this was a redistribution of funding support within GB Canoeing and the promise of a review by Canoe England of the role of the club coach programme in relation to the competition pathway.
