Tay Desecent 23-Oct-2010 [FLYER]
Racing over 3 distances 23, 9 and 5 miles and apart from the choice of distances it will run in a similar way to the Liffey – just without big weirs. So you can use a decent marathon boat although over stern recommended just in case. Check out 2 minute promo video on taydescent.org

Having spent the last few days at your Championships we just wanted to thank Chester CC for their hospitality and the great organisation you put into this event.
All of Reading paddlers enjoyed their races very much, and the smooth running of control, timing keeping, commentary and refreshments, not forgetting the camp site manager who looked after the toilets superbly made it a really fantastic event.
Very well done to all involved.

Mapledurham Weir Eel Pass [Philip McAuliffe]
As my fitness improves, I have started to include a Pangbourne paddle, (at a very modest pace), but I approach the Mapledurham portage in a state of apprehension on each occasion.
The portage involves entering the weir pool, and disembarking at the concrete jetty; at current water levels the deck of the boat slides UNDER the overhanging concrete deck, and is pinned against the steel piling by the current, creating a potential capsize hazard.
At high water levels the stronger current can, and has, pinned canoeists against the timber posts, this happening to even top level paddlers.
I was therefore a little aggrieved to see a Public Notice in this weeks local paper, stating that the Environment Agency propose to construct an Eel Bypass on the weir, to facilitate the passage of fish.
As a private individual, I intend to reply to this Notice, expressing my personal Safety concerns, and suggesting that it is unfortunate that the Health & Safety of the fish population proceeds that of canoeists and that if possible, consideration should be given to modifying the portage at some future date.
Can you please forward this on to All Members, with a request that any paddler who has experienced similar problems, email me with details.

More European Sprint medals for GB
The GB sprint team had another great day at the European Championships on Sunday, pulling in two more Golds and a Bronze.
Ed McKeever paddled to Gold in the men's 200m K1, with Liam Heath and Jonny Schofield taking Gold in the 200m K2.
Rachel Cawthorn revisited the podium, this time for a Bronze medal in the women's 500m K1.
Tim Brabants was on track as he returns to the team, achieving a good 4th in the men's 500m K1.
The women's K2 (Sawers/Walker) made the A final in both distances, as did the women's K4 (Edmonds/Hannah/Hawkey/Mason)
in women's K4 500m.

Sprinting Successes
The weekend is going well both for GB and for RCC.
The GB team are competing in Trasona (Spain) at the Canoe Sprint European Championships, where Rachel Cawthorn has just become
the new European Champion in 1000m K1. The men's K4 (Daniels/Farrell/Hastings/Wycherley) made the A final, as did the men's K2
(Boyton/Rutherford), and men's K1 (Brabants). Read the full write-up for Saturday on the GB Canoeing website.
Congratulations to Rachel, coach Miklos, and all the GB Sprint Team.
Meanwhile Reading has sent a strong team up to the Sprint Interclubs (MacGreggor Paddle) at Nottingham. As at Saturday
evening Reading was in first place on points. Go Reading!
Stop press: Word from the regatta is that we are 9 points ahead as at Sunday lunchtime and spirits are high. Conditions are not great as there
are strong headwinds and drifting weed across the lanes. Quote from Jess Collins : "The new flag looks great" (which is about
all the sense I could get out of them). We look forward to
the team photo. Word from team leader Rebecca is that the team is quietly optimistic but not counting its chickens yet.
All the paddlers, both new and established, have thrown themselves into the competition and given it their all. Saturday night
was party night on the campsite, it being Jess's birthday, and the atmosphere in Camp Reading was great as they got ready for
the final push on Sunday.

Southampton Hasler [Results]
Race ran smoothly, weather was excellent.
We managed to get a small but good quality team of 14 paddlers, achieving excellent results.
Banbury were unable to continue their run of 50+ paddlers, which is a shame.

Southampton Hasler
This weekend the southern region competition heads to Southampton for splash and dash on the estuary. Check out the race details
Oxford Hasler
Well done to everyone who attended Oxford last weekend, feedback so far has all been positive. There was a distinct lack of rail crossing this year which disappointed some paddlers, but probably pleased the orgnaisers. The club took top spot again, Banbury put out another 50 plus strong team for 3rd race in row! Results have been published on MRC site

June Regatta [Results]
Warm , wet and weedy conditions with a reduced turnout of paddlers (exam time!) saw Reading paddlers largely consolidating and improving their positions within their respective classes. Although there were no Reading promotions this month, Imogen Collins, Ben Colyer and Nico Kirschstein must have impressed as they have all been selected to race crew boats at the Bochum International Regatta next weekend (18th-20th June.)
Probably the standout result of the regatta for Reading were the performances of Nico and Ben in their K2, finishing Ist in boys A 500 K2 and competing in Men’s A for the 1000m. Also in Boys A, some good finishes from Andrew Potterton must see him making Final 1 very soon.
Henry Hellawell just missed out on a top 3 finish in his first outing in Boys C and Amber Owen finished 4th in final 1 of girls B 500 K1, beating some very well established girls B paddlers in the process. With her partner, Bethan Owen of Addlestone (no relation), Amber also stormed to 3rd place in the K2 event.
It was good to see Tom Mainprize back competing at Nottingham and holding his own in men’s B, whilst Carl Lofthouse, despite his current lack of paddling opportunities, finished 2nd in Mens C 200 K1. Last (but by no means least!) Tony Potterton and Paul Ralph finished 2nd in Masters C/D 500 K2 – all of these results indicating a strong team challenge at interclubs in July.

Childrens Festival
The RCC's Childrens Festival Sessions were hugely successful this year, with around 130
youngsters getting a taste of paddling.
Many thanks to all involved in organising, coaching and helping both on and off the water.
130 kids to be got onto the water, 130 times setting up and putting away boats, and 130
sets of booking and admin amounts to a lot of work for our volunteers. Well done everyone.
