We will not know the status of the applications until September 7th or thereabouts.  I will be invoicing for entry fees immediately as I have $7000 + in entry fees laid out.  

The application events will not be invoiced until the September reveal.  Juniors please keep this to yourselves until we are confirmed.   We may add our guaranteed Boys 4x+.  TBD

*. Ruth Kennedy may have spots available in a Grand Master 8.  I will reach out after our September reveal.  First into that boat would be the grand 4+ if they don’t get their entry.   If there are others interested please send me a private message.

For those that don’t have a seat this year I often get requests to fill seats, so please private message me if you would be interested in filling a seat elsewhere.  

SHOES:  I am anticipating the shoe situation at HOCR to be insane with Wintech.  They are the official boat sponsor of the regatta and there is a lot that is going along with that.  I am suggesting that all our athletes buy shoes for themselves and just carry to whatever boat we are using from Wintech.  Considering we use Oarsport in the UK and Wintech/King in North America you are going to utilize these shoes at most regattas. 

The cost is 150.00 I believe for shoes you will just continue to bring to regattas.  The folks who are occasional it doesn't make sense, but those of you who race all the time please consider purchasing.  I am creating a link HERE If we can complete this as soon as possible it would be helpful.

BLAZERS:  If you want a blazer and have not submitted an order yet, please do so via this link Collier and Robinson.  David Peters send yours here as well please ASAP.  We would like these in hand for HOCR.

TRAINING CAMPS:

We are doing a training camp in Portugal September 5-12, we can add participants. $3100 shared room $3500 single room

We are doing a training camp and regatta in St Catharines and Welland Ontario September 21-23.  Please reach out if interested. $650 per person includes all race fees and equipment. (Note: Neither include flights)

That’s all for now!
