slalom help needed

We have had a fantastic turn out of helper for our slalom events last year, and it would be great to see the same again this year. This is always a busy event, as it is the start of the new season, but paddlers are already pushing for promotion (we started getting entries in mid-February!)

Help is needed on both days over the weekend. You don’t need to be a slalom expert, just willing! Jobs that need to be done include:

providing safety cover on the water,

running start or finish (if you can use a stopwatch and pencil you can do this),

helping in the office (if you can use a pen or computer you can do this)

Help in the kitchen,

Whether you can help for one or both days or just a few of hours it will be greatly appreciated.

We also need help to erect the course the week before the slalom. We’ll be doing this on Saturday 31st May from 10.00 - the only skills needed are the ability to pull on rope, so why not come and lend a hand for a couple of hours then have a paddle.

An added bonus for the club is that hosting slalom events bring much needed funds (a very significant amount) into the club, this helps to cover the running of the clubhouse and keeps your membership fees down.

So please get in touch with Les Ford ( 01484 854099 or email to offer your services for the event.
