- There will be a charge involved for this event. £5 for spectators and £10 for entrants. This charge is to allow the club to make a donation to Ross Priory (part of the University of Strathclyde - The University of Strathclyde is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, number SC015263.) for kindly agreeing to host the event. It will also cover a BBQ.
- There is a small kids play park so please feel free to bring the family.
- Approaching the venue from Gartocharn, you will come to a gatehouse where there is signage indicating that you are entering private grounds.
- You will drive towards the venue on a long driveway. It is imperative that all driving is controlled and slow. This is a family venue so there are highly likely to be children and animals on the grounds - drive carefully.
- Spectators should park in the signed car park. In the event of foul weather, we may use a section of the car park (which is largely sheltered by trees) for the competition.
- Winners / small numbers of vehicles may be able to stop in front of the Priory itself for photo opportunities. Please only set this up after having consulted with Duncan.
- Entrants may stop to use the hose / external tap at the boathouse. All washing activity involving volumes of water should take place on the hard standing in that area.
- Final cleaning / prep may be carried out in the Competition area.
Please contact Duncan with any queries or suggestions ahead of the event.
