PAYMENT

Cheques should be made payable to London Docklands Regatta. Any outstanding fees or ARA forms not received by 10 am on Thursday 7 June 2000 will result in a surcharge of £10 per crew, £5 per sculler. Any club in default of ANY entry fees one hour before that club's first competitor is due to race may be deemed to have scratched ALL their entries from the Regatta. The club will remain liable for all fees due at that time.
