Entries Guide
ENTRIES CLOSE AT 10AM ON SATURDAY 10 MAY 2008
- Thames Ditton Regatta is held under the rules of the Amateur Rowing Association and conforms to the
ARA Water Safety Code. These can be found in the 2008 Almanack and are also available on the ARA’s
web site at www.ara-rowing.org/render.aspx?siteID=1&navIDs=1,249.
- Racing will not start until 8.30 am, and the total number of entries will be limited to 240. Doubling-up
will therefore not be allowed in J13, J14 or J15 events, but there will be a ‘Plate’ event for
first round losers in as many J13, J14 and J15 events as possible. If entries are still oversubscribed,
doubling-up will not be allowed in J16 events and above, and events with fewer than four entries shall not be run.
- Please indicate on the entry form where crews are doubling-up or boat sharing, order of priority, and if
a crew is prepared to race in a higher status event should their original not take place.
- Under no circumstances will the timetable be changed after the draw. Any likely change of status should be noted on the entry form.
- All races are upstream over a distance of approximately 1000 metres with a free start. The course starts by Thames Ditton Island
and finishes just downstream of the River Mole. The course will be buoyed.
- Please note that there will be no parking for cars on the regatta site. Towing vehicles and trailers only will be allowed access.
