Race Entry Cards
Alison Setchell will carry a stock of slalom
entry cards to the events she attends - most Div 1s and Prems and some Div 2s.
This should make it easier to get cards. Ask her for some!
Short Notice Div 4 Slaloms
Division 4 is the entry level to the
slalom ranking list. Division 4 slaloms can be organised at short
notice in order to increase the opportunities for people to enter
the ranking system. Page 50 of the yearbook contains more
information on applying to run these events.
Such slaloms are "short notice", not
short course: as with any slalom they can be run over up to 25
gates, but to make it easier to run them they can be as short
as 12 gates, at least 4 of them upstream gates.

Tony Rackham
Tony Rackham passed away last
weekend.
If you passed through K1M Div 2
at any time in the last 29 years you will have had some contact
with Tony. He was Ranking Compiler for the division from 1985
until January this year, and took on the role of Bib Officer as
well in 1995.
Tony
was reliable and patient. He was a great adviser to me,
and a
source of both experience and original thought on how we manage
ranking and bibs. But his involvement with canoeing goes back
long before mine and I would be grateful for any contribution
you can make to a proper obituary. Please email me if you can
help.
Tony was indeed a great contributor to canoe slalom in the UK. Proud to keep his
chosen responsibility up to date and accurate, with a personable and polite
approach, a true gentleman. Always interested in what was going on and in going
one better. We have all benefited from his presence in our midst.
JohnMac
Tony's Funeral is to be held on 18th March at 11am, at Garston Crematorium,
High Elms Lane, Garston, Watford WD25 0JS, and afterwards at Boxmoor Lodge, 499
London Road, Hemel Hempstead HP1 2RA. Tony asked for a small, mainly
family, affair but all who knew him well are welcome. Please email
to give an indication of numbers coming.

Lee Valley - Bigger and Better for 2014

following the completion of £6.3 million development and expansion

since the Games. MORE>

Duck Mill Postponed Due to water
levels and a tree fallen into the river at Duck Mill the race is
postponed. We will reschedule it when it fits in with all
involved. Yalding Cancelled
Tandridge Canoe Kayak Club have decided to cancel this year's
April Slalom at Yalding. The site and local infrastructure have
been flooded four times already this year, and will not be
suitable for this event. Once the site has recovered we will
look into the possibility of rescheduling. |

Slalom at the Camel's Hump - Partners Needed
Where? The Camel's Hump is a section
of the River Barle on Exmoor, which conveniently flows through the
small town of Dulverton. A series of three shoots, each with eddies
on either side, gives lots of scope for slalom gate setting.

time developing a survey questionnaire on shoulder injuries in
paddlers, and is now asking paddlers to fill it in so we can gather

FINAL SELECTION POLICY>
Selection Qualifiers Want to Race at an
International?
If you want to race at an International competition
this year, please fill in
THIS FORM and send it to Jim Croft.
Paddling Up
If you are ranked in Division 1, 2
or 3 you can enter races for the next Division up from your own.
Take the opportunity to experience bigger water and compare yourself
with higher-ranked paddlers! This can also be a path to promotion.
For 2013 a “paddle up” achievement
(beating 40% of the field at a next-div-up race) can be counted as
equivalent to a maximum-points score.

Applying for your 2014 Bib
Make sure you send your bib application to the right person. Tracy,
for example, does K1M Prems and ONLY K1M Prems.
Don't forget your national association card or a photocopy, £9
deposit (cheques payable to BCU Slalom Committee) or a valid £8 bib
voucher, and a large, strong SAE with postage for 150g.
Please make sure you
put enough postage on your bib application – it may be a “large letter” under
Royal Mail rules. If it is, and large letter postage hasn’t been paid, it is
likely to be delayed and you will have to repay the penalty fees before you get
your bib.
