Just thought we should set the record straight ref L2R, Ditchford and Grendon Lakes.

Although we have not been officially informed, we understand from postings on this site
by John Earnshaw that the L2R stop in 2005 will be held this year at Ditchford,
we are therefore treating this information as fact. We would like everyone involved
to know that this is "cool" with us and we would like to wish L2R and Ditchford good
luck and all success for the tour and 2005.

We have however read many of the postings on this site and are concerned that hostile,
abusive words and threats will damage the reputation of both the tour and the two
watersports centres.

We have had the pleasure of hosting the midsummer stop of L2R for the last three years
and hope that it is acknowledged we have had great deal of imput into making all three
stops the roaring success, that they undoubtedly were. It has not been unstressful
becoming more and more involved in the organisation of these events, a great deal of man
hours is devoted during the six month period prior to the stops. Much goes on
behind the scenes, a fact which we am sure John Earnshaw and Shawn Bronson will concur.
The results however speak for themselves and we are particularly proud of
the fact that all three events allowed us to put something back into the sport for riders
and spectators.

At Grendon, it will be "business as usual" and we will continue to work on producing
the laid back atmosphere all of us have come to love. Ditchford customers will always
be welcome at Grendon and we hope sponsors and pro riders will continue to visit us in
the future.

There is always room for more water for riding, sliding or whatever else rings your bell.
