URGENT INFO ---- for crews, families and those wonderful people that FEED ROWERS.

1) This year on OCtober 3rd Saturday the McQuaid Cross COuntry Invitational is being held across from the regatta venue - PARKING will be a challenge and other than college crews and limited regatta STAFF parking, volunteers should plan on being dropped off and walking into the venue.

2) On Sunday, we always see parents of local crews creating a mini traffic jam by turning into the venue entrance -- PLEASE leave early and drop your rowers off and let them walk in from the bus loop - DO NOT try and drive into the back parking lots.

3) Crews will be allowed to set up tents for food ON HTE INFIELD area of the baseball diamond.  THe outfield is for trailers ONLY. NO TENTS in the trailer area.

4) Access to drop off food will be part way into the parking lot where you will LOOP DOWN to the infield back stop near home plate and then your vehicle must move off site --- especially on Sunday as we have more crews on Sunday than Saturday -

Thank you ---
