There will be boat transport available to and from the event- this will be using the 6 and 4 stacker trailers to keep the cost down BUT we will need parents to drive the class van and tow a trailer, or tow a trailer with their own vehicle (4x4, van etc only)
We will also need parents to support the on water safety in a rib, they will need PB2 to helm, not to crew, and may need DBS checks, but the class will liaise with them on that

You will need to enter the event yourself via the website 47th Palamós Christmas Race - 2023 the cut off for early entry fees is 18th November

Things to note

there is currently a cheap flight from Birmingham to Girona on Saturdays. This will work well for the event. If there are sufficient families using this flight then we will organise joint airport transfers
Girona is the nearest airport, but Barcelona is only a 1 hr 40 drive. Public transport from Barcelona it is a little trickier, although there is a bus directly to Palamos which takes two and a half hours (limited times of the day)
Palamos is easily negotiated on foot, and therefore a hire car is not essential if you fly in, in fact parking can be tricky

Only complete registration if you are attending the event and want to be part of the class on water support.
Please let us know ([email protected]) if you are willing to drive and whether you have a vehicle or would drive the class van
