^* May involve overnight stay for majority of club other than 1st years

Attendance at Regattas requires parents to help on a rota to supervise travel and at the event itself. At least one adult male/female must accompany boys/girls on overnight stays.

Your sons and daughters above first year will travel in the mixture of the school bus and parents' cars. First years travel with parents again on a roster system. First years will not normally be involved in overnight stays.
