The ECA Canoe Slalom European Championships would not be existing without a precious help of the volunteers. Some of them for the first time, others come back every year. One takes holiday in job; other makes a break in his study. There are many stories behind these helpful people but there is one thing in common: the passion for sports and willingness to help to organise great championships.
