Stone Winter Series
Stone Winter Series
22/02/26 - Several of our members competed at the Stone handicap series of slalom races this winter. Competitors are handicapped according to the division and class that they are in, which levels the playing field, and gives paddlers of all divisions a chance of winning! The last one was today, and we performed outstandingly well! A summary of all of our prizes is below. On this performance, I'm hoping for some early season promotions!
Race 1
Sam 3rd overall, 2nd Div3 K1M and 1st Div4 C1M

Slalom Start
Slalom Start
05/02/26 - This spring we shall be running our first ever Slalom Start course. The course will introduce newcomers to canoeing, with a focus on the canoe slalom discipline, and will culminate in attendance at the Nene WWC entry-level slalom competition. Paddle UK will be supporting us with progress cards, flutter flags, T-shirts, workshops, and most importantly training for two slalom coaches. The first three sessions will be held before Easter at the New Parks swimming pool. After Easter we will move to our base at Hinckley.
