The dates of the 2024 Dewerstone Euros have been released - 7 and 8 September 2024! Whoop! A couple of us went last year, and it was a lot of fun! So getting this out there early to give everyone a chance to come along!

Nick and Grant will be organising SCC attendance at the event, but note it is a PEER trip as it is organised by British Canoeing Freestyle, and they will be covering safety etc. 

Whats it all about then? Held at HPP artificial course in Nottingham, on the Saturday there is both a pro and novice freestyle event. Anyone can enter the novice - even I did last year, and I’m really bad at it! - points for surfing, capsizing, rolling, air guitar, honking donkey, etc. All a bit of mad fun. 

Then on Sunday there is a kayak cross event (race down the course as quick as you can), big balls race (work as a team to get a big inflatable ball down the course) and the main event - the inflatables race! Get an inflatable, and race down the course. Bonkers. 

camping is available at Holme Pier Point Country Park, just next to the event site. You will need to book early. 

When the organisers release the event tickets, you will need to book and pay for your entry. Last year it was £50 for both days of events. There are free goodies and t shirts etc as well within the price. And you will need to book and pay for your own accommodation. 

We will organise a couple of day trips to HPP once it warms up for those who fancy this, just to get our eye in. These will be separate events to be set up. 

There are two event registrations - the YES, definitely coming. And the ‘DECIDE LATER’, if you need a little time to make up your mind. But it means we can keep you informed about it while you decide to come!

Last year it was such a laugh; so something I really recommend. Oh, and you’ll be rubbing shoulders (and probably your inflatable) with some of the worlds best freestyle kayakers - watching these paddlers compete is awesome. 

Any questions feel free to give me (Grant, 07837 963160) or Nick a shout.
