Really sorry that we had to exclude some crews but pleased that looks like we will be able to run.

@Hammersmithhead Chief Umpire here - reminder for all clubs, crews and coaches please ensure BROE is up to date for the crew(s) that will be racing tomorrow. Let's not have any DQs for undeclared subs!

[Hammersmith Head @Hammersmithhead]

The Race will go ahead on Sunday. The stream is reducing but is currently on yellow. We will therefore unfortunately have to exclude all crews from the J15 and J14 events. Due to voluntary withdrawals no other exclusions are necessary. See website for details.

[Hammersmith Head @Hammersmithhead]

Wed. The flag is now yellow and the race will take place on Sunday. A final decision on crews participating will be made after the flag update at 6pm on Fri. If the flag remains yellow we will have to exclude J15 and more inexperienced crews based on CRI. See website for details.

[Hammersmith Head @Hammersmithhead]

Monday - We are monitoring the river daily as it is currently red flagged. Looking at the forecast, we are hopeful of running a full event but we will follow the PLA guidelines of;
Red Flag - no race
Yellow Flag - some younger and inexperienced crews excluded
Next update Wed 7pm
