Race Pack &
Briefing

Race Pack Collection

Someone from each crew (ideally the coxswain) needs to collect their race pack including crew numbers, race instructions, crew grid positions & location of on course safety / support boats and emergency contacts from the Race Registrar.

Details for 2008 race pack collection: Hawthorn Rowing Club Friday 28th November from 6pm - 8pm. It is strongly encouraged that you collect your pack at this time.

As a fall back measure, we will continue to have the Race Registrar in front of Mercantile Rowing Club from 9am to 11am on the morning of the race.

Please bring $20 number deposit for each crew. Refunds will be made upon return of number at Hawthorn finish.

All crew numbers including those worn by the cox and bow are to be returned to the Register located in front of Hawthorn Rowing Club on completion of the race. Please only send one member of the crew (ideally the coxswain) to do this.

We will also have HOY merchandise and programs available for purchase at this time.
