2022 French Nationals

A team of up to 12 U16 athletes will be selected to take part in the French National Championships on the 17-18th of September 2022. Selections will be made from the K1 and K2 U16 and U14 races at the Marathon National Championships at Worcester. Priority will be given to athletes who have not attended an international race this year.

To be considered for this event, athletes must complete an availability form by midnight, 23rd August 2022.

2022 World Championships

A team of up to 12 athletes will be selected for the World Championships. The lead assessments for this are the 2022 National Championships and the 2022 European Championships.

We are aware of a clash for the final assessment at the National Championships for some Junior and U23 athletes who have made the Sprint World Championship team. Should those athletes still want to be considered for the Marathon World Championships, we invite them to submit their mitigating circumstances in writing to the Chair of the Selectors in line with section 4.1 of selection policy. A link to the latest policy can be found here: 2022 Selection Policy

To be considered for this event, athletes must complete an availability form by midnight, 23rd August 2022.

MRC ACM and Committee Nominations

   23 May 2022    ACM, Governance

The MRC 2022 ACM will be held online on Wednesday 13 July at 7.30pm.

A reminder that anyone wishing to stand for a place on the MRC must inform the Secretary (Acting) of their candidacy by 1st June 2022.  They must be a full member of British Canoeing and be proposed and seconded by two other full members.  This year, in addition to the annual election of Chair (currently Stan Missen) we have the following whose terms are up but can stand for re-election: Mick Nadal, David Sackman, Kat Wilson, Siobhan Urquhart and Bryn Price.  There is also a vacancy due to the sad death of James Smythe.

Standing as an elected member of the MRC is a great way to make a difference to our sport and be involved directly in how it is run. Committee members are expected to attend around four meetings per year, and to play an active role in the administration of the discipline in between meetings.

In addition to the annual election for the Chair, other duties currently covered by those named above include deputy chair, secretary to the committee, racing rules, secretary of the selection committee, international team logistics, national events and masters’ racing,

If you are interested in standing and becoming involved in the above, please feel free to contact the Secretary (Acting), Siobhan Urquhart, or the Secretary (Acting) by 1st June, again supported by signatures of two full members of British Canoeing.  Other items may be discussed at the meeting at the Chairman’s discretion.
