Accommodation at Tully

We have reserved The Tully Hostel (bunk house) for the double premier event/selection on Friday 9 April and Saturday 10 April.

This would cost £32 per person for the weekend, from Friday lunchtime until Sunday lunchtime but sorry no food included.

There are currently 16 beds available. We will probably only take this booking if we can fill the hostel so if you are interested please let me know URGENTLY. I would need payment in advance and we need to make a decision on this by the end of the week.

Veterans Consultation

After the Slalom Committee had to withdraw their motion relating to restructuring the veteran’s division, I agreed to try to find out if there is a desire to change it. MORE>

Stafford & Stone Mini Slalom 2

RESULTS>  RANKINGS>

Despite cold temperatures and snow covered ground, 126 paddlers entered Stafford and Stone Canoe Club's second Mini Slalom this Sunday at Westbridge Park. Fastest time of the day was again posted by local teacher Robin Vasey in a time of 77.1 seconds, but an even shorter and less technical course made it impossible to break the handicap. The Canadian Singles dominated the Podium with Dan Robson from Meridian Canoe Club in third place over all. Jazz Royle could not repeat the success of the previous round and came second, and Emily Woodcock came first with two clear runs.

Jazz Royle now leads the rankings going into the third race on 21 Febraury 2010

You can apply for your 2010 bib any time now. 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!

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.

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. Paddlers from other countries also welcome.
