There is a good entry for Thameside 1 tomorrow, therefore we need to make extra effort to respect neighbours at the start, finish and along the course, representing our great sport in the best possible light.
In particular, please look at the schedule below and aim to limit time spent at both Aldermaston and at Reading Canoe Club (RCC).
Buoyancy aids
Buoyancy aids are strongly recommended for all and compulsory for juniors, as the river is quite high.
Schedule
The start window has been increased so slower boats should start earlier. We will run 2 briefings to accommodate people starting across the window.
The finish doesn’t open until 12:30 so if you finish before then you won’t get a time.

| 11:00 | Check-In closes |
| 09:30 | Briefing 1 |
