The club was delighted to welcome a record number of paddlers to this year’s Hasler – 281 seats, with 56 K2 entries and 169 K1s. We were particularly pleased to see a good turn out from Divs 1 & 2 from within region and outside. It was great to see many Reading paddlers giving it their all, including many new to racing. Newest of all was Sonny, who had only finished his beginners course on 18th June. Sonny completed his Div 9 K1 race in a very respectable time!

Well done to all our podium winners:
Katherine Connor and Karina – 2nd Div8 K2
Matteo and Sam Boughton – 2nd Div5 K2
Amber and Luke – 1st Div4 K2
Xavier MacLeod – Div9 K1 promotion
Ben Saxby – 3rd Div 7 K1 promotion
Nick Gumbridge – 2nd Div6 K1 promotion
Bruno – 3rd Div6 K1 promotion
Matthew Mainprize – 1st Div5 K1 promotion
Balazs – 1st DIv4 K1
Tyler – 2nd Div2K1
Marcell – 3rd Div2K1

There were many others who did a great race too, so well done to all. Great organisation by Karina, Evan and the team and a huge thank you to all the volunteers from the Club – it couldn’t have happened without you.
