At the moment it appears to be a straight forward relay, that each section would be paddled by someone of that ability ie grade 1-3 in water difficulty. However that may all change at captains and secretaries. I suggest pushing for an out and out whitewater race it would suite us better.

I think there are limits on the speed of the kayak which would rule out a white-water racer. Can the committee find this out at the Captain/Secretaries for me? I have a wavehopper which the club is welcome to use and I could bring my racer. Has the club found its Gola yet for the flatwater?

The white water race is from grade 1 to 3 so to compete you have to be at the higher end of the grades i.e grade 3 standard cos ya have to do it all.

Kieran, would it not be better for more people to be involved than just the elite of the club?

just so people dont feel too lefy out there will be an oppertuinity for those less adept at handeling themselves white water. it is called the flat water race. and there will be a cind of who wever wants to can take part attitude to this area as there are loads of places open to us in this section.

we are one of the biggest canoe clubs in the country and i for one think that it is about time we win what is the only really competative event of our calendar

apparently there has been some changes made to this section so we need seperate people to run the level 2, level 3 and level4 sections

so level2 is like the flat sections between the rapids on aannamoe
level3 like guiness's and trooperstown
level4 flesk boatercrossish and harderLoading...
