Waitlist Form https://forms.gle/GNTDRt3dxzTTKGah9 This form is for individuals who wish to participate in a Learn-To-Row that is already at capacity. There is possibility for people to drop out due to other commitments therefore opening up space to others. This will run as first comes first serves, so if more than one individual is waitlisted for the same LTR, the person who signed up first will get the spot. If we have no athletes drop out for the specific session you are waitlisted for, you will receive an email 3 days before the LTR starts to let you know the LTR is still at full capacity. |
