Since 2016, Canoeing Results has been quietly building what has become the largest archive of UK paddlesport history, stretching all the way back to 1957. What began as a mission to piece together historic Canoe Slalom Division 1 and Premier results has grown into an extraordinary digital library of race outcomes, national rankings, club newsletters, magazines, and snapshots of paddling heritage from across the decades.
Behind the scenes, this huge undertaking is powered by volunteers, including project lead Peter Keane, a former C1 and C2 GB paddler from the 1970s and ’80s. Much of the work has involved manually re‑typing old paper results, often faded, wrinkled or photocopied to the brink of extinction, because early OCR attempts simply could not read them.
Supported by Paddle UK, the archive now covers multiple disciplines and continues to expand.
We are now actively searching for more information across multiple disciplines, to find more detail information of what the team is specifically looking for, we have broken our search down into specific categories, as listed below with links to the relevant webpages
