No Fall off in Activity

October was another active month for The Sharks, despite the continuing heavy rains causing havoc to paddling opportunities.

Fund raising

The Great Harlesden Canoe Race, was raising money for the Brent Foodbank, the Queens Park Rangers Community Trust, and the Canoe Foundation.

Wild Water Racing

We returned to the Barrow series, with 9 paddlers, including four people making their competitive debuts.

Slalom

Shepperton Division 2 and 3 slalom was curtailed to just a Division 2 slalom due to high water conditions on the Thames, so our team was much reduced but some great paddling and a couple of surprise results.

Unfortunately Symonds Yat Slalom was cancelled to to high water levels on the river.

Elsewhere, we have been finishing our schools programme, and our evening paddling sessions have now ended and we will be starting our weekend sessions soon. The se and our regular club sessions were brining in a regular 100 people a week.
