Maidenhead Regatta: Update 15th May ’12

Dear Parents,

I received this email this morning:

Dear Invited Clubs

Because of the unprecedented rainfall we have experienced in recent weeks there is a chance that we may have to cancel our Junior Regatta.

Safety has to be the most important criteria when deciding whether the Regatta runs or not. At the moment the river at Maidenhead is flowing at a rate of 95.42 m3/sec.  The Umpires Commission states that it needs to be below 65 m3/sec for us to go ahead.

To make the best decision for the Juniors we will reassess the river conditions daily until Thursday.

Please be assured we have everything in place to run a fantastic regatta but we can only go ahead if it is safe to do so.

Kind regards

Laura Lion
Entries Sec.

Please be awaire that should this not go ahead, Headington will enter Novice crews on the 9/10 of June (Reading Regatta).

Provisional Plans:
