Ball Cup Regatta 2009
Dorney Vehicle Instructions
Parking
Dorney Lake Services employ strict parking regulations, and have very
good reasons for this. Please follow the guidance below to assist
all parties.
Trailer Vehicles
Most of you will have visited the site before. Towing vehicles may stay attached to the trailers. Enter the trailer park from either end.
It is best to send a ‘spotter’ to advise as best. The
vehicle should park with front bumper up against the centre line of the
area, leaving the trailer to be unloaded from the ends. Please leave
sufficient room ( not too much ) for your neighbour to unload its side
racks. Boats may be rigged BEHIND the trailer, not to the side, and it
is advised that once rigged, they be carried onto the grass area for
the duration of the competition. Please bring plenty of trestles.
It is especially important that you follow these instructions if you
are dropping off trailers Saturday evening, BUT you must not park
minibuses randomly in the park on Sunday if you take them away
Saturday. Please either attach them to the trailers or park in the
overflow park with cars. As below, clamping will operate for all vehicles inappropriately parked. This sounds heavy, but inconsiderate parking has caused chaos in the past.
Cars
It
is hoped that as many supporters as possible will attend the
regatta. With some hesitation, we have decided to charge an entry
fee for cars and non-trailer vehicles. Minibuses with competitors will
not be charged.
The reason for charging ( £7 ) is twofold…….
1) Dorney Lake Services charge us a levy for each spectator car
2) We hope that parking costs will assist us to maintain the low entry fees.
We hope that you will see this as reasonable.
Please inform your parents
and supporters in advance that this charge will apply – we had a
real set-to with one very fierce lady last year !
The heavy bit is that cars must
be parked in the overflow car park, not on the grass areas of the lake
park, the side roads, around the boathouse or in the trailer
area. Security has instructions that all cars inappropriately parked will be clamped.
General Requests
The
Ball Cup is charged a fee for the disposal of litter, even more if
litter has to be picked up. Your entry fees will be affected by such
charges. Please,
coaches, instruct your juniors to not only take their own litter to the
nearest bin, but to help clear the whole area at the end of the day.
Black bags for volunteers at control. We politely requested this
last year, but one school left litter that was so dense that it
outlined the trailer and bus !! Such antisocial parties will be
refused entry in future years if this is repeated.
The Boathouse upper stories are available for canteen and
showers. No admission to The Eton Boathouse. Please instruct pupils
that any persons found abusing the premises will result in a permanent
future club ban, and an ARA report under the general abuse rule. Please
use the portaloo conveniences, when possible. Dorney lock the
downstairs loos, which will be opened for disabled persons; key at
control.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation in all the above areas.
