Slalom Old Boys Sea Kayaking

As I now need to give a chiropractor 3 weeks notice of a tight stagger sequence I have become more involved in sea kayaking. I am aware a few other slalom paddlers are also interested, so between the 21st and 25th April 2022 I intend loosely organising a gathering on Anglesea. MORE>

Prem Rankings for 2020/2021

There were only four races for Prem paddlers this year.

At the September committee meeting it was decided that 50% of races plus 1 race would be used to calculate the end of year ranking. At that time 6 races were expected, so rankings would have been based on the best 4 results. When we lost the Tryweryn races the total number fell to 4, so the formula gives 3.

The Prem Rankings for the year are therefore based on paddlers best three results.

Podium Potential Coordinator

It's time to return your 2020-21 bib.

At the end of each year you return your bib (by 30th November, please) and get a voucher which you'll exchange for next year's bib. Prems who don't return their bibs will be billed £25.

If you are posting it, please make sure you put enough postage on it (usually £1.53) and include a small stamped addressed envelope for your bib voucher. MORE>

Paul Mew has taken over Vets' bibs, so when your season is done please send your bib to him at 4 Ivy Close, Moneyrow Green, Holyport SL6 2NJ. Don't send an SAE - as part of the transition to online bib application Paul isn't going to issue vouchers. He will keep a record of who is "in credit" for a bib deposit.

Very, very special thanks to Mike Carter for his many years of hard work. Mike was involved in bibs and ranking for an amazing fifty years!
