Part 2........on sunday  the second of this years races for qualification to the finals of the interclub hasler competition took place at Tonbridge canoe club. With an assessment race taking place on the same day Weys representation in  Divisions 1-6 was limited to just Dave Martyn who duly collected the maximum 20 pts...conversely div 7 was stacked with 6 paddlers young and older(!)...Nathan Tozer finished 3rd and took bragging rights within the club whilst Tom Goldsack( 7th) led Samantha Martyn home amongst the juniors. In div 8 congratulations go to Alex Bicknell who finished 2nd and gained promotion to div 7 ....Tali Farrant finished a very creditable 3rd . Nick Brown came 4th in div 9 just missing promotion by one spot whilst Richard Perkins in his 1st race for the club gained a useful 13pts coming in 8th......The club also had a very useful k2 competing in div 7 where James Halliwell and Angus Cameron -Blackie won a two horse race comfortably and collected 40pts.....It was great to see Rebecca Swift and Sam Bicknell in the junior lightning races giving their all and hopefully they will be joined by more children at future races. When the points were added up Wey had garnered a total of 197 which left us in 2nd place on the day to Tonbridge. The next race in the series is at Maidstone on sunday week ....the 2nd of june..... It would be great to see more club paddlers there and to see if we can replicate the clubs performance at the 1st race hosted by ourselves when as Calum reported we collected a near maximum no of points and finished 1st.
