Thank you Dave! We are looking for volunteer to take on this vital role for the committee and the sport.  The treasurer is elected at the ACM (28th November 2026) however we are starting our search for some to replace him now. As you’d expect this role keeps a track of our finances, prepares and reports on our accounts. The Slalom Committee Funds are held within the PaddleUK accounting system and administered by the PaddleUK finance department. PaddleUK manage payments and receivables and maintain transaction records for annual auditing.  The role of the Slalom Committee Treasurer is to manage the Slalom Committee finances in line with stated policies and procedures with respect to expense claims and collection of race levies. A full role description is available here, and Dave is happy to discuss the role with anyone interested in taking it on. If you think you could take on this role (or know someone who might) please contact Dave on slalom.treasurer@vol.paddleuk.org.uk. International Panel Statement (14 May 2026) A new Paddle UK Canoe Slalom & Kayak CrossInternational Panel statement has been published which provides the information promised in the 2026 selection policy regarding pre-selection opportunities to the 2027 GBR senior team – International Panel Statement 14 May 2026 All policies and documents relating to Canoe Slalom & Kayak Cross Selection can be found on this page. Entry to ICF Level 3 & 4 Events Paddlers wishing to enter Level 3 and 4 International events should refer to the following document which sets out the ‘priority’ order, timelines and who to contact to enter. 2026 Canoe Slalom and Kayak Cross International Entries  Update on High Performance Community and Access to World Class Programme Water At Lee Valley, we are building more than just a training base — we are creating a high-performance community. Our aim is to give the next generation of athletes every chance to thrive while supporting those working to bridge the gap to senior international success.Why This MattersWe know the challenge. Too many talented athletes fall away during their U23 years because the financial and logistical barriers become overwhelming. Training at Lee Valley is expensive, and gym access is not always easy to secure. Yet this is the very point in an athlete’s development where they need consistency, conditioning, as well as the sense of being part of something bigger.That’s why Paddle UK are committing to providing free access to water sessions, gym facilities to boat storage to highly performing athletes. . This isn’t just about saving money — it’s about building an environment where athletes feel supported, motivated, and connected to a community that wants them to succeed. High Performance Community update Important: Updated Participation Statement and Information on Membership Requirements  (28 March 2026) Clubs and slalom event organisers will be aware of the implementation on Paddle UK’s Standards for Events from 2027 (see Standards for Events). The Slalom Committee is liaising with Paddle UK to support clubs and event organisers to be able to meet these incoming standards, and more information will be shared in the coming months. However, want to share some important updated information regarding our Participation Statement and Membership Requirements Update. Considerations for Introducing Young Paddlers to the Sport Ensuring the safety of young people on the water requires careful attention to properly sized equipment, adherence to recognised safety standards, and exposure to environments and experiences that are appropriate for the participants age and development level. Safety is not a compromise; it is an essential part of their experience. Paddle UK Guidance Water Quality Awareness Paddle UK is receiving received an increasing in the number of incident reports submitted through the online incident reporting system in which paddlers have been ill and where the water quality was a possible cause. Whether you are paddling, organising paddling activities, running an event or supporting others during a challenge, it is important to consider what approaches we can take to minimise possible illness. If you are organising a paddling activity, or running an event it is highly recommended that water quality is part of the risk assessment process, taking into account the activity, environment and those that could be at risk. Use the AI Risk Assessment Checker to support you in the development of your risk assessment. Paddle UK has comprehensive advice and guidance which can be found here.

Slalom Evolution Proposals – Update These proposals were adopted at the Slalom ACM on 29th November.  The new structure will come into effect for the 2027 season. About the Proposals:As you know proposals for the proposals for the future structure of canoe slalom racing in the UK were presented in April. Based on feedback received at the event and the subsequent consultation surveys, work has been ongoing to revise the proposal. The key principles of the revised proposals are: Retain Divisions for Ranking, Results, Prizes and Promotion (this is the key change from the original proposal). Allow paddlers to have full choice of where they race; simplify the calendar; and describe courses and venues using the proposed Tier System. Provide compatible performance points across all Tiers as originally proposed. Proposal details can be found here We’d like to say a big thank you to the team of volunteers that have spent a lot of time pulling these documents and data illustrations together.
