Quick reminder for Lee Valley canoe Slalom International event on 16th Sept.

Just to clarify, the charge would only apply if you needed to get up close (without need for any long lenses) I understand access will be free for those on spectator side of the rope barrier and I'am sure some good quality photos would be obtained without spending on accreditation charge.

Finally, suggest use M25 for access and not Tube or Overground - as very cheap but hard work.

Please confirm interest in reply, where we can organise sharing some transport.

Thanks Barrie - count me in!

[Chris Nash]

Hi Barrie, I am up for this outing.

[Bob Mabberley]

I'm definitely up for this but wouldn't be travelling directly back to Orpington afterwards.  I will make my own way and meet you guys there so timings would be useful when you know them.

I found these details about the Lee Valley white water event this Saturday:

https://www.britishcanoeing.org.uk/news/2017/super-september-the-british-open-16-17-september/

and here is the visitor's information...

https://www.gowhitewater.co.uk/visitor-info

The visitor info is showing that the cafe is closed, so you may need to bring your own food and drink.

I also called Customer Services and they said that there is no entry fee.

Chris, have you seen emails for earlier meet up time around 8am

Hi Barrie,

I have seen no details about meeting up.  What's the plan?

[Richard W]

Great day out at Lee Valley today with Barrie, Chris S and Chris "machine gun" Nash. Also joining us at the site were Paul Brett and Bob Mabberley.
Apart from the good company today the other good thing was that it was 100% FREE !!!! (somebody even blagged a free media pass to go inside the ropes but we won't ask who!)
Thank you Barrie for getting us there and back safely - now judges beware for a few hundred canoeing shots

[Bazza]

Cheers Richard,

Great day out and good to see Bob & Paul ...

I was thinking of including this into one of the comps, something dynamic with a Wow factor
