It's limited to 100 participants, but this is an entry level Division 4 slalom event, so if you would like to have a go...
"Just go along [...], find "Control" and ask for an entry card. You will be welcome! If you like you can get your entry in before the event: if you've got one, send an entry card to the address in the Calendar - or just write. If you send two envelopes with a stamp and your address on, they will send you the start list before the competition and the results afterwards. You also need to send a cheque or postal order for the entry fee - seniors, £6.75 or £12.25 for a double event: juniors, £4.75 or £7.50 for a double. If in doubt, pay on the day.
You have to be a member BCU / SCA / Canoe Wales / CANI to race, but for a Div 4 race you can buy a one-day temporary membership."
