Our pathways should encourage participation and be consistent in each state, providing similar opportunities for athletes • There is currently a risk of intellectual property from current and former participants being lost to the sport, so efforts must be made to engage these people within the sport’s pathways. • There is an opportunity for Wildwater to set the standards which are expected within the discipline, around areas such as: training programs; selection criteria; and expectations of national team members.

While an Australian Wildwater Series cannot be achieved immediately, this is a longterm goal and we will make incremental steps towards it. • We see opportunities for Wildwater Canoeing in the hosting of major international events, not only as participation opportunities for our athletes but as catalysts for the development of our sport. Before consideration can be given to bidding for international events, however, the domestic competition calendar must be strengthened • As our numbers grow, so will interest in participation events.

  • Tales from the Riverbank
    T ALES FROM THE RIVERBANK March/April 2014 So we find ourselves waking up in the middle of Glencoe as the snow was falling all around, very odd really considering that the previous day we were sunbathing as we bimbled down the Keswick Greta. Anyway I digress, there were three of us; me, Fish and the Stig who set out on a Friday morning to drive up to sweatysockland and have a pootle down the Etive, with the initial plan to have the compulsory photo shoot as you run Right Angle Falls. En-route to Jockland we stopped off at Keswick with Tony Morgan to spend a tropical sunny day running the Keswick Greta and enjoying the views, as usual we had an argument mid-flow - this one coming from Fish who was adamant that the Customs and Excise Office of her Majesty's Government are now training bees to sniff out drugs in airport terminals. There's an elite group of 6 specially trained bees, kept in a match box, that swoop in on suitcases, alerting the authorities to any heroin smuggling. This argument lasted a good five minutes (with Fish, like a parrot shouting, "Google it! Google it! I'm telling you, Google it! - he should be on BBC’s Question time) and ended with Fish sulking after jibes about the future not being in Garlic bread but investing in guide bees, Police bees and sheep bees etc... The possibilities are endless... Page 2 March/April 2014 Anyway, he sulked for 5 minutes before I talked him around, about the way that they're now making spaghetti by extracting it from the centre of macaroni, therefore avoiding less wasted pasta! He was amazed.
