Updates / New Website Content

Since December 2016, the Canoeing Results and Canoeing Photos website have been diligently maintained by a dedicated member of the archiving group, with generous support from a small number of donors. These websites are entirely non-profit and solely dedicated to preserving precious data and photographs that chronicle our rich canoeing heritage.

Recently, Paddle UK (formerly known as British Canoeing and the British Canoe Union) has been actively exploring the establishment of a comprehensive archive for all canoeing memorabilia. In support of this vital endeavour, Paddle UK has offered to fund the licensing costs for the Canoeing Results and Canoeing Photos websites, ensuring their continued operation and safeguarding the valuable data they contain.

While Paddle UK’s support is invaluable, ongoing operational costs remain. These include:

  • Postage expenses incurred while collecting and returning materials from contributors.
  • Investment in essential equipment, such as scanners, to digitize and preserve valuable data.
  • Maintenance costs for equipment and specialized software used to process and present information.

We kindly invite you to consider supporting the continued growth and maintenance of these invaluable historical resources. Your generous donations will directly contribute to preserving our canoeing heritage for generations to come.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to those who have already shown their support. Your contributions are deeply appreciated.

Since our last update of archiving information in December 2020, we are pleased to announce we have had a major breakthrough in our results collection thanks to Nick Penfold

Years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 have been uploaded (500+ result sheets) and are virtually complete these can be found at Slalom Calendar and Results 1966-2012 – Canoeing Results Archive, we also have results from 2003 – 2007 in various digital formats that need a little work to be converted into a standardized PDF format, then we will concentrate on 2013 – 2017, all thanks to Nick Penfold.

In December it was mentioned we were investigating the possibility of creating a database for the Men’s K1 class at Div1 and Premier level. Mandy Delaney and Sarah Swallow have offered to help with the typing and are pleased to say we have now started creating the K1M database currently we have loaded all the results from 1970 – 1974 and are looking at 1968 & 1969, the results can be found at Summary of K1M Paddlers’ Results: Div 1,& Premier 1965 onwards – Canoeing Results Archive please note this is under construction and not the finished article many more years to add, there is a search box (top right) where you can enter your surname to help find your results

We are also pleased to announce that we have been working with some the Devizes – Westminster paddlers and have created a webpage of results which span from 1948 – 2019, these can be found Devizes to Westminster Canoe Race – Canoeing Results Archive
