Coaches,

Thank you for registering your teams for the Hoover Invitational! We have a lot of entries this year and are looking forward to great competition.

PARKING HAS CHANGED!!

PLEASE READ and then pass this along to you parents and other who will be affected.

PARKING:

BOAT TRAILERS: Option 1) Park at the Walnut & Sunbury Rd lot. We are utilizing both sides of the lot this year strictly for boat trailers (north and south). Please pull forward either to the right or left and then BACK in, landing parallel to the other trailers and 8 FT apart. That will give you room to off-load your boats to the grassy area.

Option 2) If the lots at Sunbury & Walnut are full, please proceed north about 200 meters to the Boat Ramp lot. Again, please park your trailer at an angle, 8 ft from the next trailer. Off-load your boats to the grass. THERE IS NO BOAT PREP OR BOAT STORAGE ON THE PAVEMENT. Also, please make sure that your boats are not on or hanging over the Bike Path.

Option 3) If all lots are full, we are reserving curbside lanes NORTH of Walnut and Sunbury. We recommend that you pull into the boat ramp lot (Option 2), offload your boats to the grass, then you can park curbside.

For all options, the truck pulling the trailer may return and stay with the trailer on Saturday. No other support vehicles will be allowed in these lots or curbside in the area designated ? NORTH of Walnut & Sunbury.

FOOD TRAILERS:

Option 1) The small Food Trailer Lot ? Just SOUTH of Walnut and Sunbury is reserved for Food Trailers. The vehicle pulling the trailer may return on Saturday; however, NO OTHER support vehicles will be allowed in that lot.

Option 2) Once the Food Trailer lot is full, the Food Trailers will park curbside (just SOUTH of Walnut and Sunbury up to the small Food Trailer Lot).

BUSES and TEAM VANS:

Buses/Team Vans will drop off rowers curbside. They are NOT to pull into any lot AT ANY TIME! Once the bus/team van is unloaded, the bus drivers will proceed to Windsor Bay shopping center (travel north and turn left right after the light at County Line Rd).

CARTOP BOATS: We had a big problem with car top vehicles last year. Car Top vehicles cannot park in any of the lots. You may park curbside NORTH OF BOAT RAMP Lot. You can then place your boat in the large grass filed designated for boat storage.

SPECTATORS: Please park at the upper and lower dam lot at Smoke Burr and Sunbury. We have two 15 passenger shuttle vans that will transport people from the parking lot to Regatta Central area. There is also a nice leisure path for those wanting to walk or cycle. Street parking is permitted on the WEST SIDE OF SUNBURY. PLEASE do not park within 8 ft of fire hydrants and do not block driveways or mailboxes.Friday night weigh ins: We have a one hour weigh in window open for Friday ? from 6:00 ? 7:00pm.

It will last about 30 minutes.
