Caberfeidh Motors Saab Inverness Eights and Small Boats Head 2003
Essential Information for Competitors
Firstly can I encourage competitors to arrive early, register early (don't all leave it to the last minute) we can't cope with many crews registering two minutes before they want to boat ! , and, especially Novice Crews, boat early - Remember there will be time penalties for those crews late to the start.
Car Parking
Buses must use the Sports Centre, which is clearly signposted, car park.
All cars not carrying smallboats must be parked at the Rugby Club car park, turn left before crossing the canal
Cars carrying smallboats must park beyond the IRC Boathouse.
Trailer Parking
Close to the Jacobite Queen - Aberdeen / Aberdeen BC / Strathclyde UBC / ASRA / RGUBC
Close to IRC Boathouse - Glasgow RC / Clydesdale ARC / St. Andrew BC
Registration
Race entry monies, bow numbers and back numbers will be dealt with at registration (the Marquee beside the boathouse). Should Clubs wish to scratch crews, alter crew composition or make other permitted changes, then these will be dealt with by Hazel Smith, the Regatta Secretary, who will be in the Marquee.
PLEASE CARRY OUT THESE TASKS AS SOON AS YOU CAN AFTER ARRIVAL.
PLEASE HAVE THE CORRECT ENTRY MONEY IF AT ALL POSSIBLE (IF PAYING ON THE DAY)
THIS WILL HELP SPEED THINGS UP FOR ALL
Boating
Penalties will be applied for crews late to the start, please have respect for your fellow competitors and arrive at the start in time. It can take up to 45 minutes to row to the start.
