Shandon house in good part of Richmond & not expensive , I always stayed at the Marriott because they do a good egg & chips  Grin , camping has very good facilities too @ grr with bar, food & live music on Friday night ( something I was thinking of doing this year but can't due to family wedding  Cry) also they have toilets .
But seriously great event guys , new and existing members and a great motivator along with the league races throughout the year to aim for and finish the season with. Cool Smiley
Was really looking forward to air guitar as well  Cry

Shandon House has availability for 33 people and we would take the whole place.

Can anyone remember the name of the horrid place to be avoided.  Was it The Queens Hotel???

Have sent off request to group bookings at Premier Inn and will know prices shortly from both

The grotty place was Quinns which is across the road from Shandon house and was being renovated but I suppose it may be still ongoing... Shocked Shandon house is walking distance from Ham - not sure if Premier Inn is?? Camping is also an option!  Smiley

Hi All
Progress report
I have provisionally booked all Shandon house room

Early bird entry is open until 19th May (saving £5 per adult)

So far we have 15 names of rowers ....
I am sure more of you want to take part and of course the newbies will need to be accounted for ...

Think Neil wants to take some juniors but as not posted here don't know numbers ... please can you get a rough head count of rowers and parents who will require accommodation.

Once I have relocated eldest daughter to Surrey this weekend I will get 100% into sorting out plans for GRR2016 ...

Nikki I will contact you next week to arrange get together so can pick your brains as you sorted it all last year.

If anyone else wants to come and spectate and require accommodation please also post here ....

We will need to borrow at least one possible two boats ... anyone got suggestions who is best to approach?

Bosons 1 & 2 what is the chance that Dick could be assessed and some work parties organised to do said work so we can take him too ????

Gx
