2022 Waterside - online entries



2022 Waterside - Entries
Released: 16th November 2021

Due to the success of the entries received via the
online entry system developed for the Marathon Racing Committee
we in collaboration with the developer are adapting it to accommodate
both individual and the series entries for the Waterside Series.
This development is underway and our aim is to open online entries
for 2022 over the Christmas period.

More details will be released prior to this here
Including:
- How Schools / Large Clubs / Services submit multiple entries
- Team Nominations
- Non-BC members/Day Tickets

It is still uncertain as to how Covid19 will impact life this winter
but we will adapt quickly with the experience we now have.

Please note that the Rules will be updated to reflect :-
- The new Online Entry
- Checkin Procedure
- Under18 consent
- Support Crews and on the day emergency numbers
- Other changes



Finally a big thankyou to all those that have helped run the Series.
Newbury Canoe Club value your support and hope to be able to
invite you next year to the much missed thankyou events.
