Volunteer needed to organise towing to the GRR

I have the entries done and now need someone to organise the towing team, book any cranage and river tows, get parking permits for Ham for towing vehicles and the coach. It's easier than it sounds as most of the information is on the Great River Race 2024 website.

Please post if you can help the club with this.

Thank you!

 Dear Rachel

I really do not have the time to get involved with the organising . However I am prepared to take the Friday off before the race  and tow the two galleys to the Isle of Dogs and get help to unload them . I would welcome a club member coming with me to help in case of problems.

We then have to drive through London and hopefully someone will pick us up at Ham and we can leave a car and trailer in ham over night ready to bring the boats back on Saturday.

The two Claydons and the Swear Deep should be taken to Ham and towed up the river . Certainly Gladys will be so that the crews just have to step aboard . Our crew so want want to have to carry the boat down the muddy slippery pontoon . I am sure Keith will want the same

Thanks
