An important part of any canoe club is the swimmers chart! In previous years this has been dominated by 1 or 2 people, not to mention any names (See later)
Please remember this is fun, and, if anything, the only way you will get on here is if you are paddling rivers regularly, and pushing yourself (ie. one of the best ways to improve - just ask Scott - WINNER 2005/6 and 2006/7)
Therefore, Running from Summer Camp to Summer Camp i think this is where we are at this year (2007/8):-
James Pridmore - 1 swim, whilst acting as safety cover/ cameraman got flipped in the small stopper at the end of the main drop on Abbey Rapids - nice photo of the spraydeck
Andy Moss - 1 swim, pinned against a rock on Abbey Rapids - missed the break out!
Kirsty Hallet - 1 swim, on video, lost control between drops - too busy smiling for camera - therefore a perfectly acceptable swim!!!
Daniel Milward - 2 swims, both involving missing the breakouts - and then getting pinned against rocks.
Scott Flynn - can't remember, but there must be at least 10 by now!!!!!!!
Is there a way of making this a table that we can keep adding to?
PS If you happen to be on a trip when i am not - take note of the swimmers!
PPS Adults only - Rescuing swimmers makes pints!!!! That's how i funded some of my drinking through uni!!!

Well that's quite cheeky. I've not had a swim on any club trips for a long time.
It's easy to tell who blogs from the office!! Does anyone want the added distraction of an email notification every time someone adds a comment to the blog? If so, just let me know and I can arrange it. It doesn't tell you when a new post has been made, so there is still plenty of excuse to randomly check blog when work gets boring...
Problem with updating a table online is that everyone needs to be able to upload to www. That needs FTP. Or could have dynamic webpages. Not easy for non-specialists. Do we have an expert in our midst? Maybe possible if we set up a wiki - but we will lose track if we have a wiki, a blog and a website....
If we need a whole club record I suggest we have a post called "Swim/Trip diary" and everyone adds a comment each time they go out or swim. After a few months someone can collate all the info for everyone into a spreadsheet.
Or, we have a downloadable spreadsheet on the website that everyone keeps their own personal records on. Then we are all responsible for working towards whatever star awards...and can forward to coach on request.
Everyone must have done loads of work by now - time for a coffee?!
