2017 Waterside Series - Feedback to all
As organisers of the Waterside Series for many years, we have noticed
an increase in the need to address Complaints from Marshals/Sporting Management
/Fellow Support crews/Private Individuals & residents regarding Support Crew behaviour.
This year has seen an escalation in this, with one accident
and more than one serious breach of what is expected.
This has a number of repercussions:
...1) it is increasingly hard to recruit volunteers,
...2) What to do with offenders
...3) It brings our sport which we all enjoy into disrepute.
As you read these words can you also forward suggestions as to what we do about this Email
DW have an approach of penalising the crews being supported and that means implementing measures to identify and record offenders
all of which have serious cost & manpower implications. We have Rules, Information Sheets, Briefings at the Start,
Support Crew and Paddling Etiquette sheets, all of which guide individuals as to how to conduct themselves whilst attending our races.
Your comments whether Paddler or Support Crew are most welcome,
there are many options that come to mind and we will implement some of our own
unless we can be convinced or provided with suggestions that we consider would reduce and/or
deter similar behaviour from occurring in the future.
 The Dundas Arms is an 18th Century pub with restaurant
and beautifully appointed accommodation situated in the stunning village of Kintbury.
They also boast a magnificent canal side beer garden and private dining facilities.
Importantly they are allowing Support Crews to park in their Car Park (Up until 11:45)
The Dundas Arms is open weekdays from 7:30am to 11pm and weekends 8am to 11pm.
The bar is open daily from 11am to 11pm. Contact: 01488 658 263
