A belated and short post re the slalom this last weekend.
160 entries.
2 full days of racing.
Thanks for the paddlers attending and the those who volunteered to judge and those club members who helped run the event.
Till next year.
Course is up and now awaiting the arrival of the paddlers.
As mentioned previously the site will be closed for general paddling.
Those members coming to assist in the running of the event if you can please lift share as we have a big entry and parking will be at a premium.
The canoe slalom european championships are taking place this weekend in Markkleeberg Germany.
Two of Telford Canoe Clubs junior paddlers competed this last weekend at the division 3/4 slalom at Stone. Jack Evans was competing in the K1M division 3 class, with two clean runs and a time improvement of 19 seconds on his second run. This resulted in a position of 10th overall and gaining 640 points. Meanwhile in the K1M division 4 class….. One Harry Evans also had very good day with 3 touches on his first run he went clean on his second run and also improved his run time (penalties aside) by 6 seconds. This put Harry in 3rd and he gained promotion to division 3. Well done to both Harry and Jack…..
