10 March -- D (updated) & Series results

      Well, there we go then folks.  Series all wrapped up. D and Series results posted.  I hope they are what you wanted.

     Numbers up for every race.  Please come back next year !

     Special thanks to Marsport, Waterside Centre, all marshals and helpers and in particular Clive Williams for taking on A entries !
     I dropped him in it a bit so thanks Clive.  A is later next year so I'll be back from Dusi in time.

     There will be some changes for next year.  Things still in discussion but the hard facts are that A will be Pre-entry only and
     limited to 400 paddlers.  The ideas under discussion are fixed check-in and start times (say 15 minute slots), separating
     classes - i.e. all doubles between 10 and 11 am, then singles.  We will have a pre start line too.
     If you have any constructive and serious ideas please get in touch.

     Good luck to all those racing DW at Easter. 

     Don't forget to look at your paddling pics here:  paddlepics 

     See you for A on Sunday 15th February 2009 !!!!!!!
