June 1st and 2nd

The Sharks will be at Ironbridge slalom next weekend, there is still some time to get entries in. Ironbridge is a historic site, the slalom takes place in the Severn Valley, where the World’s first iron bridge was constructed. If you want to make a weekend (or slightly longer during the school holiday) there is also the Coalbrookdale living Museum.

The slalom site is on the River Severn, TF8 7HJ, below the bridge on a series of rapids in a fantastic valley, it makes for a really good slalom course, suitable for anybody in Division 2 or 3, either kayak or canoe. It is about 150 miles from Harefield and is less than a three hour drive. There are camping facilities and other places to stay.

Rick will be there, the C2, C1 and K1s will be available. To enter visit canoe slalom entries. This event is suitable for any paddlers in Division 2 or Division 3. For more information contact: 07951 770241, email: canoeing@thesharks.org.uk, or talk to coaches at our sessions on either Monday or Wednesday at Harefield at 10am this week.

So far we have Mel Moore in Division 3 Ladies’ and Mel More and Richard Moore in mixed C2.
