Dear rowing supporters
I would like to thank our Boat Race Officials for running a superb ISRA regatta
over the weekend. This regatta is the biggest in the ACT and despite its bad
press last year, continues to attract many Inter-state schools despite competing
regattas in Sydney and elsewhere.
We continue to attract many excellent School rowing programs to compete. Gold
medals reflected good wins against tough competition, and I congratulate all
winning crews. All participants were involved in close racing, and would have
enjoyed the perfect conditions for much of the regatta.
Our Boat Race Officials did Rowing ACT proud. Despite having intervals of 4
minutes between races and strong cross winds, they still managed to get most of
the regatta away on time, notwithstanding the inability of Year 8 rowers to
maneuver their boats at the start.
Our volunteers keep our sport afloat.
This was a great co-operative effort, reflecting the best of the rowing community
in the ACT.
Thanks also to regatta convener Dafydd Gwynn-Jones, ACTRA Admin Officer
Anthony Pardy, and the army of parents who supported as traffic wardens, food
sellers, commentators and other roles from all of the participating schools

NO LONGER FOR SALE. NOTICE WITHDRAWN
Canberra Girls Grammar School is selling three of its boats – two coxed quads and one double scull. These boats are S&B built fibreglass & timber construction and make great learn-to-row boats. They are still being regularly used in the CGGSlearn-to-row program, but have now become excess to needs. They are cheap yet solid boats that would suit junior school students up to novice masters. Please contact Dafydd Gwynn-Jones at Canberra Girls Grammar School by or phone (02) 62026456.
