- DRESS FOR THE WEATHER – Very Important
- Most stations are outside (and several in the shade) and you will want a warm hat, gloves, and clothing in multiple layers. Hand warmers will be provided at the stations depending on the weather. Even on sunny days some of the stations are in the shade and the wind so its best to be prepared for the cold.
- Where do I go?
- Volunteer station assignments will be sent to volunteers before your shift. The locations of the Timing Stations are all listed on this site.
- Please arrive at your assigned location on time, there is a lot of set up and testing to be done in the morning.
- Parking is always an issue use public transportation whenever possible.
- Shift Times
- All shifts, unless pre-arranged and confirmed, are from 7am to 6pm Saturday and Sunday. Please notify your station lead if something unexpected comes up while on site.
- The Head of the Charles provides “premiums” to volunteers as a “thank you” for volunteering. These need to be picked up at the Volunteer Trailer at the FALS site (see the hocr.org website for a map of where this is)
- You should arrange to pick up the “premium” before (or after) your shift. If you are not able to pick it up you can work with your station lead to get it during your shift, this will depend on a lot of variables so please be patient. Timing the regatta comes first.
- Breaks – The Station Lead will arrange for breaks once everything is set up and running smoothly. If you need a break or have any other issues please let your Station Lead know.
