Scottish Sea Kayak Symposium 2009

Put the dates in your diary now - Skye, 22-25th May 2009.

We called in on Morag and Gordon Brown this weekend to discover the planning team, inculding Ken and Duncan had met over the previous day to devise a schedule and discuss guest speakers. Of course, I'm sworn to secrecy, but it'll will be worth going.

This year you will be able to download application forms from the symposium website, but you'll still have to print them out and snail-mail them back with your cheque. Apparently this remains the most reliable way to ensure everyone receives the accommodation, food etc they have paid for.

Places are strictly limited and you can register your interest by sending an e-mail now.

If all goes to plan, it might also be where I launch my Scottish Sea Kayak Trail book, so if you disagree with the notion of a trail, start saving your tomatos and eggs and work on your throwing action.
