Hampton 4's and 8's Head 2009 |
Sat. 31st January at 2.00pm
Dear Parents,
I hope this finds you well and ready for some rousing cheering on the river bank! Kerstin Olszowski will be on the river bank around the finish line I believe, with refreshments for those who brave the January weather and would like to meet some of the other parents.
Below is some further details that may come in useful including a map! Crews will be confirmed on Friday depending on fitness.
Senior Boys will leave school at 10:40. Boating will be around 1:15pm and the race is at 2pm. We will leave Hampton by 4pm and be back at school by 6pm.
If you have any further questions please let me know.
Best regards,
Phil
