·         Welly Paddlers follow an Operational Plan which covers the Organisers, Event Staff and paddlers for this Event. We update this plan annually, we are all about continual improvement of our processes and fine tuning the Event each year

·         Please stay close to the start line 3 minutes prior to your start time

·         Give each other plenty of sideways space at the start. Starting on the 2^nd 3^rd or 4^th row at the start is an advantage as you get to ride someone else’s wash !

·         If you withdraw for any reason please notify Sharlene immediately, we do need to account for all paddlers

·         Sharlene is on a loud hailer calling start groups up. Each group will get 2 minute warning - 1 minute warning - 30 seconds warning -  Countdown 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1 - LOUD AIR HORN IS GO

·         We will kick the spot prize giving off at 2.15 pm this will last no longer than 15 – 20 minutes

·         Please bear in mind that so many people have travelled long distances to get to the Event and many have very long drives home……so think of them and move quickly to the Spot prize giving

·         LOCK YOUR VEHICLES - hide all items in your vehicle from public view - This should be done at all Events, it’s about valuing your gear and avoiding the opportunity for it to go missing
