After the terrible events of this past week, we felt it was appropriate to meet up on Saturday at The Watersports Centre on the River Tees to take a paddle up river. It was a lovely spring day with the sun shining and we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who came along to remember Sim.

We were overwhelmed by the response as over 100 people arrived, some traveling considerable distance to be with us and we had just under 100 actually paddling on the water with us. It was a great comfort to us all to know that Sim had so many friends who are thinking of his family at this time.

There are some photographs taken on the day, free for people to download for their personal & blog use, simply click this link and enter the password ‘tigers’ when prompted.

Once again, our heartfelt thanks for all of your support for Simon’s family, it really is appreciated.

Sunday 30th November and coach Katie Sweeting takes the Tees Tiger youth team for their
first ever match….. Although they all compete in canoe slalom, they’d never played as a team
before and any practise was down to a few sessions at the training venue at Stockton….

“Just wanted to say a big well done to the kids who competed today in Pontefract, with only a
4-0 loss to an experienced Kingston side followed by a 2-2 draw agianst FOA and narrowly
losing 3-2 to green star after a disallowed goal, then to go on and once again draw 2-2 with an
older scratch team is more than impressive for a first ever competition for you guys.”
And many thanks to the organisers who ran such a tight schedule, even managing to fit in some
extra mixed team matches at the end for fun. The next match is again at Pontefract at the end
of January, now they’ve got a taste for it, they promise to learn more of the rules for next time!
