Quaker parking

Saturday, August 1, 2009:

There is no general parking for the regatta in either the upper or lower sections of the Canoe Club lot. This area is reserved for boat trailers and cars carrying boats on top. There will be no exceptions to this rule [apart from regatta officials, and we know who they are.]. No other vehicles will be permitted, so don't plan to appeal to the good nature of the folks patrolling the lot [they are good natured, but you will lose!] General parking for the regatta is at two sites - the lot just before the grandstand at the finish line, and the area up the hill just before the Canoe Club. Look for a left exit off the Kelly Drive, go up the hill to the stop sign, turn right and park in that area. You can then walk down the hill and across to the Canoe Club launching area. These two options are for all vehicles other than trailers and cars with boats on top.

Just some last minute info for our Philly adventure.First off, the team has 7PM reservations for FRIDAY NIGHT at the MANAYUNK BREWERY& RESTAURANT. We have been there before and were pleased with the place.[ ask Fred or Megan ]. They will hold the reservation for 20 min. Also they do not do separate checks for such a large group, so plan ahead.

The regatta has provided lunch in the past that has been known to be so-so to some. I will be bringing my grill and someone to do the cooking! [ my guy, Bob] So we have choices. He will be grilling hot dogs and hamburgers through out the day.

Don't forget that it is a long day so remember books, papers, knitting etc. Also sunscreen and chairs.
