Parking
Within Weston Park a large space within 150 metres of the water’s edge has been designated for Spectator parking. The access route will be sign posted from Weston Park road. Please make every effort to encourage Spectators to utilise this parking area.
Weston Park trailer parking is available in the car park at the end of Pescott Lane (accessed via Pescott Lane). When entering Weston Park disregard regatta parking signs. Please insure you park trailers as close to the boat park as possible.
Please insure those viewing from the finish area do not park illegally. Ample parking is available on Black Mountain Peninsular which is less than a 6 minute walk from the finish line.
Catering
A Café is located adjacent to the car park off Pescott Lane which will open at 8am and serve everything you would expect from a typical café.
Black Mountain Rowing Club will provide catering at the finish line area.

ACT Minister of Tourism, Sport and Recreation Andrew Barr yesterday announced that Rowing ACT had been successful with its grant applications for funding assistance from the ACT government for the coming year.
The most significant of these grants is for the purchase of three Modular Connect-a-Dock Pontoons for use on Lake Burley Griffin. These Association pontoons have been ordered specifically for the 2013 Rowing Australia Masters Championship Regatta as part of an upgrade of facilities at Weston Park. This regatta is potentially the biggest ever hosted in Canberra and the pontoons will facilitate boating at the venue. Following on from the NCA lowering the lake on December 1, 2011 we have temporarily assigned these pontoons to clubs that have suffered major inconvenience: two of them to be located on Yarralumla Bay, and one at Capital Lakes RC. We understand that the pontoons will be arriving within a month, and should help alleviate the worst of the problems that clubs are continuing to have with the lake being low. The Association will match the ACT grant dollar for dollar, and will retain ownership of the pontoons so that they will be available for the 2013 Masters Championship regatta, and/or after the lake level resumes its normal depth, when clubs will revert to boating without the pontoons.
The association also successfully applied for a much smaller development grant for a website upgrade, and continued to receive triennial funding for our sport, which pays our administrative officer’s salary.
Rowing ACT thanks Minister Barr and the ACT’s Sport and Recreation Services of the Economic Development Directorate of the ACT Government for their extensive support over recent years. These projects will continue to help our sport grow.

We have recently been made aware that the insurer, Associated Marine have exited the pleasure craft market and are no longer offering Marine Hull / Rowing Scull Insurance for clubs with assets under $3,000,000.
Rowing Australia and all state associations have worked closely with Willis Insurance Brokers to provide a National Marine / Rowing Scull Insurance Program for all affiliated associations, clubs and individual rowing members.
If your clubs or schools boats are presently insured with Associated Marine, we recommend that you contact to obtain a quotation from Willis:

The National Marine Hull / Rowing Scull Insurance provides fantastic cover and benefits at an extremely competitive price. Many rowing organisations may own their own building / facilities, non marine property, equipment and trailers that require insurance, Willis can also assist with this type of coverage. Rowing NSW encourages clubs and schools to contact Willis should you have any questions regarding the above.
