Dear All
I am pleased to announce the Inter House Regatta this year is Saturday 13th July. Please invite your wider family, friends and bring your picnic chairs and camera. Make it a day by the river! We will confirm parking arrangements nearer the time. Please car share or bike where possible.
This is one of our major fundraisers of the year and lots of fun! There will be a licensed bar, including Pimms, cake stall and salad/pasta bar. We will also be selling Grand Draw raffle tickets (to be drawn at the Awards Dinner Tuesday 16th July). Tickets are £2 a ticket with several prizes’ worth £100s.
Tickets will be £7 per person and this will include your first sausage, hot dog, burger or vegetarian option, plus compliments of salad and pasta dishes.
Just to say - everyone needs to purchase a ticket including your child even if they're racing.
I have already heard the clash with PGL trip for Year 9s. In which case, please consider coming as parents. Please confirm PGL attendance, so we can let the coaches know the impact on crews. Any year 9 not at PGL more than welcome. The rowers will be split into their houses and will compete against each other in mixed year group boats with the highlight being the parent’s race! The Year 7s will be having fun races in play singles. Medals will be awarded to the winning crews.
The boats will be (not confirmed):
• Year 7 - play singles
• Year 8 - boys quad, girls quad, mixed quads
• Year 10+ - boys quad, girls quad, mixed quad, boys single, girls single
Please get your child to wear their House coloured T-Shirt to make them more recognisable. This year we have left it to parents/carers to provide. The colours are: WARRIOR ENDEAVOUR VICTORY ENDURANCE Your child will be contacted by their house captain, which is a Year 10 rower.
Timings on the Day: Registration for everyone is at 11am. Please find Mr Murison near the finish line at Race control.
• Parents who are planning to race, please register between 11 and 12 noon.
• Races start at 11.30am.
• BBQ from 12 noon
• Medals to be awarded at 4pm (all timings approximate)
• Finish at 5pm
We have already mobilised helpers and volunteers for organising the day, but we need some additional hands on a rota basis for selling raffle tickets, bar, cake and BBQ stations. Rota requests will follow shortly via your Year Rep and will coordinate the following food contributions…
- Year 7/8 Cakes
- Year 10 Pasta Salads
- Year 11/12 Leaf/Other Salads
Many hands make light work and it's a great way of meeting other parents.
At present, we don't know exact race times, until numbers and confirmed, but expect your child to be needed for most of the day. Don't worry if you've offered to help and your child is racing at the same time as of course you'll be allowed to go and watch and cheer on!
I need to know by 10pm on Sunday 7th July at the very latest as to whether you're planning to attend. Last year, we had 40+ people tell us after the cut-off point. Volunteers will be purchasing stock from Monday 8th, so it’s vital we know the numbers.
This year we ask you to submit your requests for tickets via the following e-form on this link:
docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdloEiV2YtwXgWoq6-_dBop6R9yl1XCWfyBr6vBgcXZVfloWA/viewform
Within this form – last piece of info we need is a BANK REF – like IHR-HASTINGS38 (38 being a random number). Use this when sending your monies to the same Swans bank account as you use for subscriptions. A reminder below:
Bank details are: NatWest a/c 53096649 Sort code: 60-14-12 and please can you put the BANK REF in reference field.
Thank you in advance for a successful IHR, as we draw our 2018/19 season to a close.
Kind regards
Terry and Sigita Hastings
