After the regatta a Vajda K1 seat was found in the middle of the road on Regatta Way. It has been handed into reception at NWSC; telephone 0115 982 1212.

Notice for Team Leaders and competitors in the marathon 5km K2 assessment races:

For those paddlers taking part in the 5km assessment races, the Marathon Racing Committee has confirmed:

1. the course will be 1 large lap to the 1000m mark and 2 small laps to the 500m mark,
2. boats are to be sprint weight (18kg) not marathon weight,
3. entries on the day will be charged a late entry fee of £19 rather than £14 if entered pre-regatta.

Notice for Team Leaders:

We are extending the entries deadline for the May 2017 regatta by 24 hours to Thursday 20 April 2017 at 23:59.

Unfortunately, we are still awaiting a fix for the bug that is stopping you entering crew boats for Masters events. There are also a few other small bugs impacting one or two clubs, which we are also trying to clear. I will advise the impacted clubs as soon as these are resolved.

Kind regards

URGENT message for Team Leaders:

Practise Start Gate Session – Saturday 8th April 2017 – 9:00 to 9:30

To Team Leaders:

Paddler Registration for new paddlers has now re-opened. Please use your log-in for the Regatta Management System to access your club’s information. New paddler registrations should be made by selecting the following function and completing the required registration details:

We will confirm new paddler registrations with you.

Any Sprint Club Team Leader that has not already received a secure log-in to the regatta entry system, please let us know by emailing regatta.vicechair@britishcanoeing.org.uk.

Please be aware that the wording relating to boat buoyancy has been changed to help clarify what is required. The new wording, which comes into force at the April 2017 regatta, is now similar to the wording used for Marathon races:

Competitors and Team Leaders: Please ensure that all (your) boats are fitted with sufficient additional buoyancy to keep the boat and competitor afloat in the event of a capsize.
