We are looking at importing the molds and setting up a manufacturing process for the Mohawk's but this involves buying a hot air oven, vacuum former and the molds, Royalex/lite would still need to be imported from the States as there is only one manufacturing plant for this product owned by a tyre company? so a big financial outlay for the hardware, plus we would need some more premises as the 2,600 sq foot we have would not be big enough to host the manufacturing and the shop

Well we will see what this and next years brings

Cheers Graeme

That is of course true, don't know where we could find one though

I understand there are some areas of the Lake District that are offering good deals to encourage new business?

just the sort of thing to drop in on in a nice big open at the crutial moment
like i did in a surfing comp in south shields with either yourself mark or gavin c ( cant remember who it was)
caused a sensation and bemused the judges as i recall

And a lot of manufacturers/importers have dropped out now that the NSR is on the same weekend including Nova Craft and ourselves.

HPP looks a lot different now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5zdwOaaWlA great for an open as long as it's short

Cheers Graeme

Well it's free except for the petrol to get there

We were down at HPP tonight and the marquee was beng built for the 'shop' doubt if any good deals will be around for the canoeist but you never know

The new course is a great improvement and more canoe friendly.

Cheers Graeme
