Pittsford Regatta

OK team!

Time for 2009 commitments. I have made mine and have secured a hotel for the upcoming PITTSFORD REGATTA.

We will be staying @ HAMPTON INN ROCHESTER SOUTH

717 EAST HENRIETTA ROAD

ROCHESTER,NY 14623

585-272-7800

Currently, we have 15 guest rooms blocked. Check-in time anytime after 3:00pm and departure time is prior to 12:00 pm.

RATE: doubles room @ $119 per nite

taxes : 14%

All reservations MUST be made and guaranteed with a form of payment by APRIL 30, 2009.

The rooms are blocked for one nie, however, those of you that want to stay another nite will be able to get the same pricing.

A complimentary hot breakfast is offered. There are 2 hot items each morning[sausage, omelets, French toast, waffles, bacon, ham etc.]There are of course breads, bagels,cereal,fruit and juice, milk, coffee tea BLA, BLA, BLA!.

Breakfast begins @ 06:00 so we should be able to fuel up.

If, some should need to leave prior to the 06:00 WITCHING HOUR there is a Denny's, Perkins and Jay's Diner close by. All are open 24 hours.

As for the nite before there are three venues for dinner that are within walking distance. The event manager at the hotel will be happy to secure reservations for us.

Choices are:
Bazil's Italian Kitchen

Delmonico's Steakhouse

TGI Friday's.

When contacting the Hampton we are listed as " PITTSBURGH ROWING "{ I DID NOT CHOOSE IT THEY DID!}

If you have any problems with reservations, please do not hesitate to contact me. The event manager has been extremely helpful and the staff is excited to have us stay.

The course map is available thru Regatta Central. I have e-mailed the event chair in the hope that we can firm up travel times, locations for team set -up and any other info we may need.

In my search for a hotel I came across some places in the town of Pittsford. Apparantly there is a restored historical district that some of you may either know about, or may be interested in visiting.

So, that's it for now.
