The Hasler final took place at Worcester Canoe Club last month and Royal finished in 4th place, a fantastic achievement, and well done to everyone who took part. There were podium places for Ed Helman who won Div 8 K1 and was promoted to Div 6. His brother, Fred, won the Geoff Saunders Div C race. In the K2 races Flynn Holt and Ryan Lark came 3rd in Div 1, Dianora and Lorenzo De Belio came 3rd in Div 4 and Chloe Williams and Herbie Hartwell came 3rd in Div 9. Congratulations all and thanks to all the parents and friends who made the long journey to support the club.
