How to Enter

Online entry forms may be accessed from the list of charities on the right. For a charity not listed, please use the blue link at the bottom of the list. Please ensure you include a contact phone number in case we need to urgently contact you?

Payment options

Payment can either be by cheque with invoice or BACS (BACS payment details will be on your invoice). We regret we are currently unable to accept payment by card.

Online fund raising

All teams will need to set up an online fund raising page prior to returning the completed Captaion's Entry Form and provide their page's link when returning their entry form. The two commonest being Just Giving and Virgin Money Giving (click on a logo to visit their webpage), or you can organise your own elsewhere.

These links will be placed beside your team name on the home page, also your team photo on your team's nominated charity webpage within the website. To see these pages, scroll your mouse over 'Charities' in the menu.

Entry Confirmation

Once your completed and signed entry form has been received we will check remaining availability before raising your invoice. Once your invoice has been raised and returned, your entry in the festival will be confirmed, pending payment of your deposit and only when we receive you deposit payment will your entry be confirmed.
IMPORTANT: Please ensure the reference number on your invoice is quoted when making a BACS payment as otherwise we may not be able to match up your payment with your entry. All payments made are non-refundable (except where stated in our 'Terms & Conditions') and the organisers of the Salford Dragon Boat Festival will not be held liable for any entries not confirmed where BACS payments were made without a reference number to cross reference against.

"Pending" Entries and the Stand-by list

If you are unsure whether you can commit to entering, we can pencil in your place until you are able to confirm your position. Once we near remaining availability however, we will require all pencilled in places to either confirm their entry by email and return their completed Captain's Entry Form, or release their place back into the market place. In instances where there are no remaining entries shown on the coloured 'Remaining Places' indicator at the top of the home page, we will set up a stand-by list for people emailing in completed and signed Captain's Entry Forms as we sometimes get last minute dropouts.
