Blowing the hooter for the Regatta

Wednesday 20 th of August sees the 11th edition of the Varen International Regatta.
To avoid any misunderstandings here are the main points you need to bear in mind:

1    we are there to enjoy ourselves - it is not the Olympic Games and is open to all.

2    All competitors must sign on and agree to abide by the rules, which are designed for your safety.
3   All crews are drawn at random by lot and will mainly be mixed crews (depending on numbers)
4   get to know who your partner is and be on hand to start your race when called.
5  Juniors (under 12) must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
6   Remember winners and runners up of heats will go into further rounds
7   Please wait for the winners to be presented with any prizes before dispersing to the picnic or to the Moulin.

Copies of the race rules will be available on the day in both English and French.

You need to be there to sign on for 10.30am
Dogs must be on a lead.
The race organiser's decision is final.
All that made clear, the sun is going to shine so come and enjoy the day on or off the water.

Val says I have highlighted the things which make the job of organising difficult if you do not heed.  I cannot wait to get blowing the hooter to start you all off and with Celia Berry on the tannoy, we are promising a good day.

Remember you can bring a picnic or book fish and chips  or moules frites for 12 euros.50  at the nearby Moulin tel 0563654510
Everyone welcome
Val from TAG says  good luck on this fun day to new Commodore's Val Hughes and Celia Berry
