Thank you to Dave C and Colin for agreeing to tow, and to Lynn/Chris and Dave C/Josie for agreeing to run crews to the start and finish as required.

I expect we will load the boats on Friday 25th afternoon/evening, time to be confirmed.

We need to be in Newhaven about 8.30-9.00am on the Saturday so we can launch boats.

Here is a link to the program for the day

tinyurl.com/HOTO26, you may need to cut and paste it into your search engine.

I will email coxes with further details that they need to be aware of.

Please would all rowers pay £20 to the club account to cover the cost of entry, towing and your pin money. Please label the payment with your name and OUSE so Karen knows what it is for.

If we have a trophy from last year please can we make sure it has been engraved and we return it on the day.

Any questions please ask.

We will be meeting Thursday evening 5.30pm to prepare the boats to be taken to Ouse, please can as many as possible make themselves available.

Angie and I will be driving down on Saturday morning and we have 2 spaces available in our car. Matt has also offered to take people if anyone needs a lift.

Hi Vernon, your link didn’t work but am sure can find it. I think Pete has the trophy from last year so you may wish to touch base with him.  Would appreciate a lift from someone if possible.  About to pay now. Liz x

[Dave Cleeve]

Hi Vernon
I have the trophy that Liz mentioned

[Vernon Seddon]

Does it need engraving Dave?

[Joanna K]

Thank you for the info. Looking forward to the day. Would appreciate a lift if possible. Thank you From Joanna

[Dave Cleeve]

It's been engraved 👍

[Matt O’Neill]

Hi,
Just so you know Vernon, I’ve been asked to cox the CYC ladies crew as well as rowing for us, so will be going both ways on the river (I’ll find some weeds to plough them into!!)

I’m happy to drive there and back, can fit 4 more in my car in comfort (it does also have 2 extra pop up seats at the back if anyone small wants to fold themselves in) so feel free to shout.

I’ll be paying in a mo.
Thanks for organising us all

[Vernon Seddon]

Thanks for letting me know Matt.

[Dave & Josie]

Paid x 2. Thanks for sorting Vernon 👍

[Liz Walmsley]

Hi vernon, will try to be there to load Thursday but may be tardy as have a funeral to go to that afternoon.  Can you confirm pickup place and time for those of us that would like a lift on Saturday please. Many thanks

[Vernon Seddon]

Hi Liz, don’t worry about if you don’t make Thursday, we are only loading Sallyport. Dave C is using Sweare Deep Friday morning and I will help him load this after he has finished. Saturday I can pick you up in the lay-by about 7.00am. I will have one more space if anyone needs a lift.

[Liz Walmsley]

Thanks Vernon. I will def be at lay-by at 0700 and hope to be there thursday.

[Joanna K]

Hi, I'd like a lift too. Thank you

[Vernon Seddon]

Okay Joanna, 7.00am in the lay-by

[Jo Beardsall]

Good  luck Ousers.....have  a fab time

[Julie Carter]

Would like a lift if possible. Please..

[Julie Carter]

Think Sue & Joanna please having problems getting on line. Thank you.

[Julie Carter]

Sorry Monica.

[Matt O’Neill]

Hi Vernon,
Afraid I can’t make either Thursday or Friday for boat loading due to working. But I’ll be at the boat park early Saturday morning with you all.

Have you got an address of where we’re going Saturday morning please, just in case we loose each other on the road - I did look, but couldn’t see one on the link you sent?

I have 4 seats left in my car to offer lifts, I just might have to leave a little earlier as need to be home around 7pm in the evening, for a meeting at LSC.

Thanks, Matt
