What a great event! On Saturday 23rd September The Sharks hosted a Vintage (1985 rules) Slalom at the Lee Valley, along side the World Championships and it was a great day, old boats and some slightly older people having fun.
Who missed out on this? Despite a wide invitation, it was only a few paddlers who were able to attend this active weekend, but those who did had lost of fun, some great paddling and other activities.
Be Part of it … The Sharks will run the Vintage Slalom at Lee Valley on Saturday September 23rd on the Legacy Loop. There will also be a Reunion Buffet Reception at the LV Centre in the evening.
