This is positioned inside the Boat Tent Area immediately to the right of the entrance gate. The Press Team is based in the Press Office which provides writing facilities, press information, racing schedules and internet access. Accredited journalists and photographers will be able to access a secure wireless network. Please make sure you have the necessary hardware, including wireless network cards, before arrival on site as technical support by the Press Team will be limited to the provision of network security keys.
- Press Facilities for following races
-
A very limited number of Umpire's Launch Tickets is made available to the press to follow specific races. Ticket requests should be made to a member of the Press Team. Allocations are made each evening once the Racing Programme for the following day has been circulated. Journalists are warned that possession of an Umpire's Launch Ticket does not guarantee a position being available.
