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.
End of Season Demotion 2020
At the end of the 2020 season the Committee is likely to set the bar for "staying up" higher than in the past. Do not assume you are safe from demotion until you have 2500 points in Prem, or 1250 points in Div 1. MORE>

Veterans Points
Following discussion and consultation towards the end of 2019, the Slalom Committee propose to trial a revised Veterans points system through the 2020 slalom season.
At each Veterans ranking competition two results tables will be created, using the existing points system and the trial points system. The Veterans rankings will show points gained under each system. MORE>

Lee Valley Training Opportunity
The Swiss team has booked training sessions at Lee Valley and is looking for additional paddlers. The price would be £20 per athlete per session. The sessions are:

• Friday 28th February: morning session 10:00-11:00

2020 Bib Applications
Div 1 paddlers who are racing at the Lee Valley event need to apply for their bibs NOW!
If you send your bib application in anything larger than a C5 envelope, put a large letter stamp on it. And even if it is a small envelope, if the stuff inside makes it over 5mm thick, put a large letter stamp on it.
The bib officers will do their best to fold your bib within the "large letter" rules, but give them a chance! For the stamped addressed envelope you send for your bib:
Do put on at least £1.32 in postage.
Don't use a padded envelope. The extra thickness will make the envelope too thick for the "large letter" rate.
Don't use anything smaller than C4 (about 32cm x 22.5cm, the size that takes an A4 page unfolded). The extra fold we'll have to put in the bib will make the envelope too thick for the "large letter" rate.
Don't use one of those huge envelopes. They are too big for a "large letter".
K1M Prem: Tracy will take bibs to HPP, Lee Valley and Grandtully if you send all the paperwork to her by the Wednesday before each race. Tracy will be away for 2 weeks from Wednesday 4th February.
K1M Div 3: Karen can take bibs to Stone, Aberfeldy and Oughtibridge if you before the event (for Aberfeldy, before 7th April).
C2: Stuart can take bibs to HPP and the Tully Prem. Paddlers should in advance and bring the paperwork with them to exchange for the bib.
K1W Prem and Div 1: You need to send for your bib before Feb 13th if you are racing at the Lee Valley Div 1. Sally will be at Shepperton, at the Prem and Selection races at HPP and Lee Valley and at Tully, and can deliver bibs there or to HPP in the next few weeks if paddlers send her the paperwork in good time.
K1W Div 2 and 3: Donna will be at all three Stone Minis. You will need to in advance to ensure she brings your bib, and you will need to bring your Bib Application Form, Bib Voucher and proof of membership.
C1M Div 2 and 3: Nigel will be at the Stone minis and Tuesday night sessions and at HPP every Wednesday evening. He has quite a few VERY large SAE’s that came for the voucher which he will send out shortly. Please contact Nigel if you think post may have gone astray or anything is missing - use .

We didn’t want Adam Burgess to feel alone in Tokyo so Stafford & Stone CC is going to paddle there with him!

The aim is to paddle all the 9506km from the club house in Stone to the start line of the Slalom Course in Tokyo. MORE>
