Visiting clubs will be asked to state a preference for boating location as part of their entry and we will work with host clubs to streamline distribution of visiting crews, help ensure boating efficiency and manage the number of trailers at Putney. There is no need for visiting clubs to contact host clubs before aking their entry.
Once we have confirmed boating locations, visiting clubs must arrange payment of any hosting fees with their host club.
Please note:
- Visiting crews are encouraged to share trailers as the constraint at many boating locations is the number of trailers that can be accommodated there.
- Most host clubs charge a small fee to cover cleaning costs and supplies including portaloos in some locations.
- Host clubs usually issue a boating schedule to crews boating from their clubs. It is essential that you respect this.
- This specific information if you are boating from Putney.
- This specific information if you are boating from Hammersmith.
- If you are NOT boating from Putney, you may NOT have your trailer brought to Putney to “meet you at the finish”.
- The entries process will ask if your trailer is also coming to the Vet Fours Head and we expect that trailers will not need to be moved between Saturday and Sunday (note that Furnivall Gardens is not available for the Vet Fours Head).
- The Committee reserves the right to direct where crews will boat from.
