Regatta Transportation

Parents are expected to car pool to regattas, athletes cannot drive to regattas.

Transportation co-ordination is a very important role and requires a lot of cooperation and communication from parents to be sure all of rowers have transportation. Please be sure to do your part by making sure Becky knows your plans.

Regatta Transportation - contact Becky Michaluk

If you are going Saturday morning, leave by 3:45 from the high school bus loop. Meet at 3:30 to organize your carpools.
ALL Rowers should be at the course by 7:30 or earlier

Hotel Reservations - Hampton Inn-Polaris

The Hampton Inn-Polaris have set aside 8 rooms for Saline Crew.  This is all that they have available due to the Regatta. Because we stayed with them last fall, they are giving us a rate of $114/room for the 17th of April.  The rooms that they have set aside are rooms with 2 queen beds or King suites that have a king bed and a fold out sofa.

They are asking us to contact them quickly because if we decide we will not stay there, then they would like to have those rooms available for others.  However, please wait to reserve your room until the beginning of next week due to a contract that I have to sign and get back to them allowing us to get this rate of $114.

The phone number is (614) 885-8400 and state that you are with Saline Crew/regatta.

If you have any questions please feel free give me a call at 316-2072 or post a note on the message board.

Thanks,
