Info |
|
From Ellen Stuhlmann: The room block reserved for the
Visitation parents at the Windsor Suites is now sold out. Almost all
hotels in downtown Philly are booked for 5/15
to 5/16. Last night I searched for available rooms and discovered
that the Park Hyatt at the Bellevue and the Best Western
Independence Park are not sold out -
rooms are available at these properties for $400++. There are hotels
at the airport with vacancies including the Sheraton. If you search
Expedia or
Hotels.com you will find properties
in outlying suburbs. Next year we will reserve a much larger room
block!You do not have to book a room for your daughter; team
reservations are already confirmed for rowers. |
|
|
| Rowers should arrive at every regatta two hours before the race start time, and rowers will leave AFTER the last boat is put away at TBC. When we travel, all rowers will watch all races, cheer for their teammates, load the trailer, meet back at the boathouse, and finally, put the boats away.
Times are to be determined. Typically, races on the Anacostia start at 9:00. The Ted Phoenix (novice only) and VA States (Varsity only) are all day affairs.........
