Shark Activity Report

A lot of activity in June as we saw a very brief view of Summer

A Return To Osterley

After a delayed start to the season we finally returned to our regular sessions at Osterley Park. This includes our regular sessions with the Sybil Elgar School on Thursday mornings.

Slalom

Slalom Competitions have been dominating this month with Rick Moore racing on the Tryweryn and taking 4th place on both days.

The June Cardington Race, saw Jasmin Uhlhorn take third place in her first slalom of the season, there was a good turn out of Shark paddlers for what appears to be the only Summer weekend we have had!
