Dear River Racers,
Thank you for entering the 2011 Great River Race.
We are fast approaching September 17 and the GRR office is really starting to heat up. This is just a quick email to remind you of things you need to do in order to have the best Race you can.
Entries
• Please double check your entry to ensure that it is correct, you should have a non rowing cox and passenger included in your ‘number in boat’ section.
• Please do let us know if you are not 100% sure on your boat type and we will help you classify it.
• If you haven’t entered your crew list, you will not be entered into any gender or age related classes. In addition to this, your certificates will not be ready for you to pick up on Race day and you may incur a P+P charge if you wish to have them sent out to you. We would therefore advise that you fill in all available crew names without delay.
• If we have sent you an email previously asking you to amend your entry in some way, please ensure that these changes have been made and do contact us if you require help.
• Please enter your crew notes and submit any good photos you may have for inclusion in this year’s programme.
• REMEMBER THAT THE DEADLINE FOR PAYMENT AND CHANGES IS AUGUST 30TH!!
Camping/Buses etc
• Please make sure that you book any services you may require sooner rather than later. Last year the campsite reached maximum capacity and we had to end ticket sales early, don’t be disappointed – book today http://www.greatriverrace.co.uk/services.php
• Please note that tickets will not be sent out for services bought, your name will be added to a list. It is therefore important that if you are booking, for example, a large number of bus tickets, that your group either boards together, or everybody is aware of the name the tickets have been booked under.
• Buses leave the campsite at 9am, please ensure that you are there with sufficient time to board. Last year we had over 600 people leave from the campsite so please help us by listening to GRR staff and volunteers.
Logistics
• Please make sure you have given due thought to the various options available for launching and slipping your boats. If you have a large boat that needs to be towed to the start, you could save money by taking it straight to South Dock Marina and having it craned in there. This costs £25 as opposed to the £70 tow from the Finish.
• If you require a tow from the Finish, please double check that you have actually booked and paid for it. George Bowen will be contacting all those requiring tows very shortly
• Please take a moment to look over the Race Weekend details on our website which has comprehensive information regarding secure boat and trailer storage, registration and timings http://www.greatriverrace.co.uk/race_overview.php
Full Race Regulations can be found on our website, http://www.greatriverrace.co.uk/regulations.php
Please note that this page will show as blank if you are using Google Chrome as your internet browser, therefore we would advise that you use Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer to view this page.
As we are sure you can appreciate, time starts moving very quickly at this point so we would be most grateful if you could ensure that your entry is up to date as soon as possible so that we can help out if you have any problems.
Don’t forget you can follow us on Twitter (@greatriverrace) and Facebook (The Great River Race) for updates on this year’s Race. And if you are yet to decide a good cause to race for, why not have a look at this year’s official charity, ‘Row2Recovery’ http://www.row2recovery.com/
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us, do not reply to this email, please create a new email to angie.riverrace@googlemail.com with a relevant subject heading or use the contact us form on the website
Kind regards
The GRR Team
