- Despite cold and windy weather, Abbie/Pat, Zyggy, Max, Rex, Pete/Geordie & Mick/Caroline completed the 20 mile session to Radcliffe & round The Loop yesterday.
- Freezing conditions didn't deter Rex and Alison turning their training sessions into Bi-athlon events. We understand that both survived the experience intact and will be out there again in the very near future.
- Two paddlers are reputed to have aged considerably during yesterday's training session.

More NKC Successes - Members in the News
The news has been full of NKC Members recently.
OLYMPIC KAYAK SPRINT SELECTIONS
Perhaps Tim Brabants & Lucy Wainwright are the most notable, having been on local TV, National TV & the papers. We wish them success.
Also in the news:
INTERNATIONAL MARATHON RESULTS
Paul Enoch & Richard Golder - Senior Mens K4 Trophy Prince of Asturias at Pontevedra in Spain - 20/21 June with Jamie Mayers of Runcorn & Richard Forbes of Solihull.
5th international crew.
Harriet Farish - World Cup 1, Brandenberg, Germany 14-15 June. K2 with Nicky Taylor of Elmbridge Canoe Club. 8th senior women K2.
LOCAL NEWS
At yesterday evening's presentation for the Rushcliffe district sports awards at the Arena, Harriet Farish won the Senior Sportsperson Of The Year out of the many candidates (5 were shortlisted) in a high quality field. Tim Brabants was the speaker at the event and a film was shown of his last years 1000m world championship K1 race to an excited audience. In Harriet's absence - she has gone to race in Crestuma this weekend for another World Cups Event - Norman Mason, the NKC Captain, collected her trophies from Tim).
Also shortlisted were Michael Sims as Junior Sportsperson Of The Year (for last year) and David Phillips as Volunteer Sports Coach. Both of these were in the last 5 in very tough competition.
NATIONAL SPRINT CHAMPIONSHIPS
At the National Sprint Championships last weekend, Tim Brabants became the Mens A K1 500 metres Champion. Laurence Garton won the Mens D Class Championships in both 1000 metres and 200 metres.
Good performances were also produced by our Juniors in the Under 14 Age group. Both Boys and Girls events had over 40 competitors from clubs all over the country and the Girls races also had representatives from Holland and South Africa. Ricky Millar produced good times, while Alice Cobb & Leanna Bold both reached finals. Leanna's result was notable as it was her first season paddling & she came 6th in Final 1 with a paddler from Frisia, Amsterdam & another from Natal Canoe Club, South Africa just ahead of her in the 500 metres.
Only two of our Under 12s paddled at this event, taking part in Lightning, Hody K2 & Mini K4 events. Congratulations to Max & Megan on their first Nationals.

International results
NKC Members have enjoyed considerable success in international competitions over the past few weeks. Go to the club website for links to each of them. 6 club members have competed & one been involved in coaching. http://uk.geocities.com/nottinghamkayakclub/recent/page2.html
The most outstanding is of course Tim Babants becoming European Champion in Mens K1 500 metres. He added this to the Silver medal he had already won in the 1000 metres. Lucy Wainwright paddling with Abby Coulson also managed 8th in their final
The club website also has links to the Junior World Wild Water Racing Championships where Michael Sims managed an 11th & 14th place. By far the most entertaining link is to the report from this trip where the exploits of Michael & Agent Orange in the colonies can be enjoyed. http://www.wildwater.org.uk/events/racereports/juniorworlds2007.htm
There are also links to the the World Cups Marathon in Denmark, where Hayleigh Mason, Vicky Surrage & Harriett Farish also turned in good results. Lastly there are links to the international races in Spain, where Hayleigh Mason has again been racing this weekend. It helps to be able to read Spanish & the website changes every time you look at it, but if you poke around a bit, you can find the results downloadable as pdf files.

News from Overseas
Here's an extract from an e-mail from Hannah Gallagher telling of her progress in South America & Mary in India.
"No kayaking as yet here, but apparently there is a whole village that paddles about with a floating market on Lake Titicaca and as I have finally made it to Peru I think I should see what those reed boats are all about. Maybe introduce it to the Trent though I don´t think it would have quite the same charm.
Mary is India at the moment and has just been to the River Ganges and tells me it just about beats the Trent, I don´t believe her."
Hope we get to hear more from Hannah as she progresses on her travels
