Your sport needs you!

Running canoe sprint in the UK wouldn’t be possible without the dedicated work of many volunteers who give up their time and energy. The Sprint Racing Committee is the group tasked with a lot of the management and administration of our sport, and we are looking for individuals to put themselves forwards for election to the committee. Being a member of the committee is a great way to shape the direction of our national sprint competitions, local event strategy, and engagement with our community.

The elections will take place at the 2025 ACM to be held at the end of September, and nominations need to be submitted by the end of this week. If you have any questions about involvement in the SRC, please get in touch with Phil Miles, committee secretary, or Nick Fowler-Rimell, committee chair. Nominations need to be supported by two full Paddle UK members, and can be submitted online via the simple nomination form below. Alternatively, a paper nomination form can be sent by post or by email to the committee secretary.

The deadline for nominations is 23:59 on Friday 15th August.

The Sprint Racing Section’s Annual Consultative Meeting will take place at 7.30pm on Thursday 26th September 2024, using a Zoom video conference.

Information for the meeting and nomination forms will be made available under the ACM news tab on the website.

Each year, one of the positions of Treasurer, Chair or Secretary is open for election. The election term is for 3 years. In 2024 the position of Secretary of the committee is to be elected.

The Sprint Racing Committee members are also elected for a period of 3 years; at the 2024 ACM there are 3 positions open for election.
