Bryanston Buffaloes - Supporters Guide Bryanston Buffaloes - Supporters Guide Please find below information regarding forthcoming rowing events: Saturday 12 November – Pangbourne Junior Sculls Saturday 19 November – Hampton Small Boats Head Saturday 12 November 2016 – Pangbourne Junior Sculls Address: Beale Wildlife Park, Lower Basildon, Pangbourne, RG8 9NW *For directions, please use post code RG8 7DX The race will be 2750m downstream and a map of the course can be found at the website below. The map also includes information regarding parking, entrances and exits. Parking: There is free parking at the venue for spectators. Additional information: The venue is dog friendly. There are refreshments on sale. It is normally very muddy, so wellies are advisable. Viewing is a bit of a walk from the car park and it is normally signposted. Website: https://pangbournerowing.wordpress.com/pangbourne-junior-sculls/ Saturday 19 November 2016 – Hampton Small Boats Head Address: Hampton School Boat Club, Lower Sunbury Road, Hampton, TW12 2DH Each year the Hampton School Boat Club hosts two major rowing events on its home stretch of the River Thames: The Hampton Small Boats Head and The Hampton Fours and Eights Head. Both races are run over a course of approximately 3000m downstream from Sunbury Lock. The first of these events is the Small Boats Head, typically held in late November, with the Fours and Eights head following in late January/early February. Viewing is possible, along the full length of the course; from the towpath running on the south (Molesey) bank from the start at Sunbury Lock to the finish at the western end of Platt’s Eyot. Some cycling is possible (but more difficult than at other venues); most supporters gather at the eastern end of Hurst Park, opposite Platt’s Eyot to cheer on at the finish. Directions: From the south side of Hampton Court Bridge take the A3050 (Hurst Road) and park as near as you can to Sadlers Ride, which leads from a roundabout to the trailer/boating area (Hurst Park). This is a short way to the west of the post code KT8 9AJ, which marks Molesey Boat Club – but their precincts are not for our parking. The A308 from the junction of the M3 and A316 is frequently full of slow-moving traffic. It may well be worth seeking a clearer route. Parking: It is important that spectators’ cars do not block access for residents of the estate between the A3050 and Hurst Park. You can park on the side of the A3050. If need be you can park in a leisure centre car park up Dunstall Way, but please check their closing time, the details are The Hurst Pool, KT8 1TP. Additional information: If you wish to meet up with other Bryanstonians the usual point is either at the boat/trailer or near the finish line. This is a big event with a wide towpath and it is easily accessible. If it is raining, please note there is no cover or clubhouse shelter for spectators. Facilities are available at Molesey Boat Club and at Sadlers Ride. This is a dog friendly venue. Food - Teas are provided at Molesey Boat Club, which is a 10 to15-minute walk from the competition. The Hampton and Lady Eleanor Holles Boat Club Association also runs a refreshment tent about 200 yards upstream from the finish. For the Small Boats Head, lunches are also available from the tent. Alternatively, you can bring your own food. Website: http://hamptonschool.org.uk/co-curricular/sports/rowing/ .

We endeavour to meet this commitment by following British Rowing’s Row Safe: A Guide to Good Practice in Rowing, and having a clearly communicated policy that is understood by members, coaches and others in positions of responsibility. Certificates of Competency and Watermanship All members, and at the end of any Learn to Row course, all participants must pass the Competency Test before moving past Improver Level. This will test their knowledge and practical application of rowing safety, use of the club’s boats and blades safely and awareness of the club’s Navigation Rules. In normal conditions (White Boards) all boats must have at least one experienced member on board who is capable of coaching the crew. In Yellow Board conditions only experienced members or improvers with the permission of a committee member are allowed onto the river. Further information on this aspect can be found in the Risk Assessment section: page 6. All members are encouraged to take and pass the Certificate of Watermanship: This will further test their boat handling skills, navigational knowledge and their abilities to conduct an appropriate risk assessment before boating. Swimming standards All rowers, including beginners, must be in good health and able to swim a minimum of 50 metres in light clothing.

  • Chertsey Division
    County of Surrey CHERTSEY DIVISION Register of Electors, 1918 An Alphabetical Index of Naval/Military and/or Absent Voters Surrey History Centre Reference: CC802/27/1 This document contains the names of individuals who were included in the 1918 Electoral Register for the Chertsey Parliamentary Division of Surrey, and who were recorded as being either Naval, Military and/or absent voters. Notes: Not all Naval/Military voters may have been correctly designated “NM” and not all absent voters may have been Naval/Military personnel, in which case their entries are highlighted in orange text. Red text denotes a possible error, or information derived from a different source, such as the 1919 Chertsey Electoral Register. This is particularly the case for the Parish of Bisley (Dii), because parts of the pages for this Parish are missing in the Electoral Register held at the Surrey History Centre. Entry Nos. 547-573, 578-628, 634-660, 794-812 & 825 are affected. Some individuals were killed in action, or otherwise died, in the period between when the Register was compiled and the cessation of hostilities in November 1918. Some voters may appear more than once. This Index is therefore intended only as a guide to further research and no guarantee of accuracy is given.
