April Slalom

A very big “thank you” to everyone who helped to ensure the slalom ran smoothly and successfully.

We had 78 paddlers on each day.

Following the disappointment of cancelling last springs slalom due to floods, this year wasn’t looking too promising with very low temperatures and snow just a fortnight prior to the event.

We would like to thank Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson who was there to support her daughter as she competed in the slalom. Thank you Tanni for helping in control, judging and presenting prizes.

What an inspiring person!!

Part of our Club’s primary objective is to promote canoeing. In order to achieve this we always need coaches and river leaders.

Have you been a club member for at least 2 years? Are you able to commit time to the club as a coach or leader? Have you got the required skills and qualifications ? If so the club can make funding available to support your training to become a coach or leader. Speak to Ian Holmes or any committee member
