<div dir="ltr">Dear All,<div><br></div><div>Well done on <i>mostly </i>following the plan yesterday. There were obviously issues outside of our control, but it was certainly smoother than Wednesday.</div><div><br></div><div>
The points that need reiterating are as such:</div><div><ul><li>Crews on the reach moving upstream must stop BEFORE the Railway Bridge to allow marshalling crews to go down. Try to pre-empt the marshals by stopping in good time.</li>
<li>Crews pushing off should keep left until the crossover point, which is just UPSTREAM of the Railway Bridge - too many crews were keeping left till halfway down the reach yesterday.</li><li>Crews coming down from the boathouses to marshal must cross over at Peter's posts and begin left hand navigation before parking. There may be crews coming upstream who you are likely to meet. Crews moving upstream have priority at Peter's Posts, so wait for them next to Stourbridge common.</li>
<li>Any crew arriving late to marshal must not enter the racing course during racing, park on Stourbridge common upstream of the finish and await marshal's instructions.</li></ul><div><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B65DK8X2P2P-ek5Ec01DbzAtdlE/edit?usp=sharing">Here are the instructions again in handy diagram form</a>, please check that you understand and hopefully today will go even more smoothly.</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>We understand that the change to the status quo is disruptive, but we believe this minimises the potential for delays if everyone follows the plan.</div><div><br></div><div>Good luck for today and tomorrow,</div>
<div><br></div><div>Mat.</div><div><br></div><div>(Captains please pass this along to all relevant persons).</div></div>
