What makes a front page photo?

We publish pictures of paddlers at every level from seven-year-old novice to Olympian, but we are looking for: ● Slalom action ● Good colour and contrast ● Sharp focus. Paddlers we feature aren't likely to appear again for a while, unless they are the stars of the sport.

Survey

As part of my dissertation research I have designed an online survey on Psychological Choking within canoe slalom. If you are currently a ranked canoe slalom paddler, I would be most grateful if you could fill in the questionnaire. It shouldn’t take you too long (Sub 5 mins). The questionnaire is http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YVVHZ29

Many Thanks

Boats Stored at HPP

On the 1st February HPP will be having a slalom boat clearout.

At the moment several boats are stored behind and between the green containers that face the Winfield pool. If you own one of these boats, please can you retrieve it before the 1st February. If boats remain on site after the 1st February we are going to assume they are unwanted and donate them to canoe clubs or get rid of them.
