Dear MC800 Participant,
It has been a while since we were last in touch, so here is some further information for you.
Guidance Notes:
We hope you have all now read your guidance notes. We have certainly fielded a number of questions, so we have included these on the FAQ at
http://www.thamesalive.org.uk/magnacarta/admin/.
Guidance Films:
We have put together a short film for each Relay Section. We strongly recommend that you take a few moments to review the film relevant to your Relay Section, which can also be found at
http://www.thamesalive.org.uk/magnacarta/admin/.

- Together with the MC800 flag, a complimentary MC 800 T-shirt and cap for the cox of your boat will be given out.
- Additional T-shirts and caps are available from the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead website at £10 a set of cap and T-shirt. To order go to

Other Information:
- Fellow Participants in the River Relay – details of all the boats participating in the different sections of the event are available here:
http://www.thamesalive.org.uk/magnacarta/admin/. Please look at the list if you wish to make contact with other crews known to you before the event
- Picnics – please bring one to enjoy in your boat during the two days of the event. Stopping for refreshments during the River Relay is likely to mean that your boat will be left behind and hence will be out of the event
- For boats stopping at Oakley Court – when you arrive at Oakley Court, and while your crew transport driver is being taken to get the vehicle, you can relax on the lawns where a BBQ is being provided by the hotel. A discount voucher entitles crews to a drink (beer, wine or soft drink) and burger/hot dog and salad for just £5. There will be a vegetarian option too
We very much look forward to seeing you on the water on the 13th and 14th June!
With best wishes,
Thames Alive
