Dear Allan,

I thought you might like to know that there has just been published by
DEFRA
and the EA the following document.


River Weirs - Good Practice Guide.
R&D Publication W5B-023/HQP

This booklet is 10mm thick A4 and quite glossy. The BCU has had a hand
in
addressing the issues contained within it and we put your views
forward for
consideration.

Though not all our views are included and it generally talks about new
Weirs
and refurbishments. Nonetheless Canoeing is mentioned in almost every
page
together with "Duty of Care" and other like words.

It will be available shortly on the EA web site and is available for
purchase
£50 p+p from .

snip loads of URLs

Hi Allan

I think there is only you & I here just now. The odd post appears from
out of the blue, but never develops into a thread.
Any lurkers reading this?

£50!!! Fat chance of me shelling out that much!
Wotsit say then? I haven't looked at the URLs as there were so many of
them. (I'm feeling idle, so situation = normal)
Can you give a summary? Good for us or not? Have they addressed our
concerns or glossed over them?
