Consent forms MUST be signed by parents/guardians of U18s before they will be allowed on the river. You can find the online consent form on the website: https://www.hemingfordsregatta.com/consent-form-for-u18s

U18 will be issued a wristband that they will need to display when practising.
Practice sessions are weekdays only and weather and light dependent. All parents/guardians are responsible for their children at all times, including practice evenings & Regatta Day.

All parents/guardians of practising children are expected to join the bank duty rota. We will NOT be able to run the practice evenings safely without these roles being filled and may have to cancel or limit the options available without them.
