If you were paddling at the club on Friday evening, you would be forgiven for thinking that winter had arrived. Sunday saw a return to summer for the trip to Fladbury. The club was well represented in the lower divisions and Lightning by veterans and juniors, with the only turn out in higher Divisions being Marish in Div 6 and Mick in Div 5, veterans again. Not one senior and nobody above Div 5, well let's not dwell on it, the old fogies and the rising stars managed good performances all round.
Particular mention needs making of Geordie paddling with Tadek in Div 7 K2, Ricky coming 8th in a good field on his first Div 9 K1 race, Craig 1st in Div 8, with Shobhanna 3rd in the same race. Heather & Alison managed 4th in Div 7 K2 while Marish also managed 4th in his Div 6 K1. Mick followed the season's form by working with Mark Clive of Gailey (13) to get rid of the rest of the field and then enjoying the shared work to the final sprint out, to come 2nd yet again. Creditable performances to Kath & Tony in Div 7 K2 & Beth in Div 8 K1 who came 6th despite a broken tiller bar.
In the Under 10 Lightnings, Ziggy was very impressive, as was brother Ozzie, while Tadek, having pushed Geordie 4 miles round the Div 7 K2 race, followed that up with yet another good performance in the Under 12 boys.
