European Speed Championships update
Monday, 26 October 2009
Here is some information for everybody attending the 2009 Speed Windsurfing and Kiteboarding Europeans:
Transport:
We have had a very small take up of the Dublin
Dungarvan transport, we are waiting for the final numbers to see if there are any
alternatives or if we can match people up to hire together. Anyone thinking of
using it who hasn’t indicated that to Martin Waldron, please respond immediately.
Insurance:
There was a bit of surprise indicated by some people
to the insurance requirement, we have to point out that this requirement always
existed and was noted twice in the event programme (as per the event press
releases sent around). The final cost on site for getting insurance for those who have no sufficient coverage is €35.00. The organisers are not making a penny out of this
requirement, we just can’t risk being personally liable for a 3rd
party claim.
Accommodation:
The vast majority of competitors are staying in the
Park Hotel Dungarvan. The discounted rate is €45.00 per person sharing based on
double occupancy or €65.00 single occupancy. There are also holiday homes
adjacent to the hotel which are owned by the hotel and give access to the pool
and sauna which we reckon will be well appreciated at the end of a days November
sailing in Ireland.
Other than this, keep all your fingers crossed for
good winds.
