Hurley Classic Postponed, GB League/Selection Cancelled

Gareth H — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 09:48:21 +0000

Hello all,

Bad news about this weekends comp – we will not run any competition as water levels are too low.

For British Champs and Selection – The Freestyle Committee will advise further, here and on GB Freestyle.

For the Classic I am postponing and will run again 3 and 4 March 2012. Details about that will be posted here.

Paddling alternatives – rain forecast for Dartmoor Saturday and the HPP phone line says they are open all weekend.

I put it down to not enough people letting their taps drip in Swindon!

See you soon

Jacko

Ergo challenge

Anyone who enters who is part of a Canoe Club should enter under their club name because each member scores points for every event they compete in and the club with the highest overall score will WIN A KAYAK FROM PYRANHA! and there are many other fantastic prizes available.

The scores from the Expert category will also count towards the competitors overall league ranking and the top person from each category from the league will be awarded a place on the GB Freestyle Team for 2012.

There will also be coaching available with GB Freestyle Team coaches and athletes that can be booked for novice entrants, there will however be a limited number of places so if the coaching is oversubscribed names will be drawn from a hat.

GB Freestyle would like to thank the following companies for providing prizes for the Freestyle League: Pyranha, Big Dog, Square Rock, Desperate Measures, System X, and Palm/Dagger.
