General News
Workday Saturday 16th June 2012
We are hosting at our Marple site a Division 3 & 4 Canoe Slalom event on 7th & 8th July.
We have planned this workday to help get the site ready for this slalom and tidy for the summer months.
Even if you can only spare a couple of hours it could make a difference to what we can achieve; letting us know you are coming via the forum could help planning.
I don't know today what we'll exactly be aiming to achieve, but there will be the usual need for additional wires across the river for slalom poles; my personal wish is to create entry point benches for which our site was famous in years past; these were gratefully used by our visitors and by Marlin parents - I would need some backers for this, but I'm sure other people have different priorities.
PLEASE give the club a helping hand.
Glenn (MCC Secretary).
Committee Meeting Minutes
Committee meeting and AGM minutes for this year and the previous are now available in the About menu page: Committee Meeting Minutes.
The minutes may not always be a riveting read but they may occasionally provide you some useful information, or perhaps prompt you to suggest improvements to help the club or yourself.
If you are new to the club or are trying to decide whether to join us, the AGM minutes may be worth looking at, as club officers provide a summary of the year.
I will try to publish "DRAFT" minutes to reduce the delay in seeing minutes; DRAFT indicates the minutes have not yet been approved by the committee, which can only occur when the committee meets again, which may be 1 or 2 months after the minutes were written.
Please contact me, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , if you have an issue you want the committee or myself to address.

National Interclub Slalom Championships 2011
Always the weekend after the September Marple slalom is the National Interclub Slalom Championships at the artificial slalom course at Cardington, near Bedford.
Now, normally when you see the words "artificial slalom course" you picture the courses at Beijing or Athens, or even the new Olympic course at Lee Valley. If you've been around a bit you might think of Holme Pierrepont in Nottingham, or the course at Teeside, or even the first purpose built course at Augsburg in Germany, used for the 1972 Munich Olympics.
Well, forget all about that right away.
