Slalom - Lough Lanna lake (back of the accommodation)
Polo - Castlebar swimming pool (the only 'ugh' part of the competition...)

...and WW?
Aoife S:
Sorry 🙈
Five steps if all is nice
A local, technical run is levels are too high
Last year's course if levels are too low and they need a release 👍
Zog:
Also with regard to running trials...any set date? I just know that I'll be gone the first weekend of term if that's the proposed date..

I don't understand the "ugh" about polo in a swimming pool? It will mean it's not outdoors at the start of february in a shallow basin thing.
Surely slalom in plastic boats only on a lake / LD GP being only 1km (and on Sunday) is more ugh? Not that it's a bad thing that they're trying to encourage participation (it's good), I just don't think that hobbling particular events are necessarily a good way to go about it? I guess they're trying to allow for the maximum range of skill and the least amount of hellish organising by catering to the lowest common denominater. The ban on people bringing their own boats still doesn't make sense in that context though? :D

As far as I remember, the walk from the pool to the lake is like 15-20 mins each way, so you guys would probably want to plan to be driving between them (about a 5 min drive I think) :)
