COURSE MAP
Note: The WTT Course has been slightly changed to allow a smoother turn onto the Yarramundi Reach course. Please note scullers and crews are advised that the marshal tinny at the turn onto the course will no longer provide a target for turning. The tinny will now roam with a safety priority.

Please take the time to read the following information.
INSTRUCTIONS TO COMPETITORS
• Withdraws are to be emailed to actra@rowingact.org.au the night before each time trial.
• It is the responsibility of crews to ensure they are at the start on time (any crew who misses their allocated start time may be started at the end of the field). Crews should pay particular attention to the start time rather than boat number as some numbers may be missing.
• Clubs should ensure that scullers and crews have the skill and experience to complete the course under adverse weather conditions.
• Crews and scullers should take note of normal traffic rules on the way to the start.
• Slower crews should ensure that crews overtaking have space to pass on the most direct course.
• If you capsize during racing stay with your boat until a safety marshal arrives. Remember that your boat will float even when it is full of water.
BOW NUMBERS
Bow numbers will be available for collection from Black Mountain Rowing Club from 8am on Saturday.
OFFICIALS
Officials are required to meet at the Black Mountain Rowing Club at 8:45am on the morning of each trial for a briefing. Wherever possible bring a tinny and a megaphone.
Regrettably due to insufficient ticket sales the Presentation dinner to be held this coming Saturday has been postponed. We will now plan to hold the dinner or similar event later in the year which will likely coincide with the end of the current Winter Time Trial series.
Thank you to those who have purchased tickets for the event and please be assured we will be refunding any payments already submitted.
Despite this setback we remain committed to an annual event dedicated to recognising season successes.
View the Presentation Dinner flyer and Booking Form.
The deadline for purchasing tickets for this year’s dinner has been extended. Tickets may be purchased up until midnight Monday 15 July. Dou to booking commitments with the venue this will be the latest tickets can be purchased.
The 2013 Rowing ACT Presentation Dinner will be held on Saturday 20 July at the Yowani Country Club, Lyneham. This dinner recognises various successes throughout the season, and features interviews with four of the 2013 ACT Australian Representatives, Bonnie Andrews (Jnr W4x), Brittany Staniforth (Jnr W4-), Sarah Davis (Jnr W4x) and Stephaney Miniter (Jnr W4-).
We will also be awarding the annual premiership pennants for the overall point score winner and the men’s and women’s point score winners. There will be silent auctions throughout the evening, proceeds from which will assist with our representatives’ seat fee contributions, trivia and more!
Proceeds from the ticket sales will be reinvested into the trophy stock to repair and replenish those in need of repair or those missing altogether.
We hope to see you there.
The third of the Rowing ACT 2013 Winter Time Trials will be held on the 27th and 28th July 2013. The format of the event is singles and pairs on the Saturday, doubles, quads, fours and eights on Sunday. Please note that doubles will now longer be allowed to compete in Saturdays Time Trial.
Winter Time Trial Seat Fees remain at $6.60 inc GST.
The course is 3km long and runs from near the Governor Generals wharf, around a turning boat near the 1800m start, down Yarramundi Reach, around Kurrajong Point and up Tarcoola Reach finishing at the first of the white timber piles, opposite the AIS in Lotus Bay.
The series winner for each category of boat is determined by a point score based on handicap times. Crews/scullers receive one point for each race they complete, plus one point for each opponent in that race that they beat on handicap time. Crews can accumulate series points provided they do not change more than 25% of their crew from one time trial to the next.
Entries should be via your club and sent by email to James Hammond. Entries close at 10pm on the Friday preceding the time trial (July 19). Larger clubs may collate entries into the template spread sheet below.

Dear Scrivener Dam Stakeholders,
In December 2011, NCA commenced the process of repairing Scrivener Dam as a result of identifying significant corrosion in the hinge anchor bolts that fasten the flood gates to the dam. In the first twelve months of this project, the NCA procured the services of a team of dam experts to advise on the way forward and to design a solution that would maintain dam safety through the construction period and would make the dam safe from this problem re-occurring for another 100 years.
Early this year, our contractors undertaking the construction works (Structural Systems Western) commenced installing temporary works and the job of installing a new hinge and anchor bolt system on the first flood gate (Gate 5). They completed the renovation to Gate 5 last week and this week extensive testing was completed to ensure the gate operates as required. The contractors have already commenced moving equipment and temporary works to the second gate (Gate 4). It is anticipated that it will take 2 months to complete each of the remaining 4 flood gates with an expected project completion in March 2014.

Black Mountain Rowing Club sculler Luke Letcher has been selected to represent Australia in the Trans Tasman competition, and is already racing the best from New Zealand at Sydney International Rowing Centre. Over the weekend Luke and ANU sculler Emily Caudle trialled against the best of Australia’s Under 21 rowers and scullers for a place on the Australian team. In these trials, Emily’s best result was winning the B Final for the women scullers. Luke showed good form in the single, and was selected in the Australian team. The New Zealand team have been training in Sydney in preparation for this contest and the first leg of the Trans Tasman competition is being held yesterday and today (9th and 10th July).
Yesterday Luke showed good form in the Men’s Trans Tasman singles race to win ahead of the other Australian sculler Wilson Mure, and ahead of both New Zealand representatives. This is a great result for Luke, as New Zealand has a great tradition of producing world class scullers.
The second leg of the Trans-Tasman competition will take place at Lake Karapiro in New Zealand between the 4th and the 8th of September 2013. There will also be an eights race over 5km against the current of the fast flowing Waikato River
The key purpose of this event is to provide an opportunity for the best Under 21 athletes to gain high level competition practice in between the World Championship age categories of Under 19 and Under 23.
The Under 21 Australian Team is a new activity on the Australian international calendar. It is a Trans-Tasman competition against New Zealand based on the Youth Cup (2002–2012) principle in 2013. The Under 21 Australian Team will comprise of a Men’s and a Women’s Eight plus a gender reserve. The eights will comprise 6 open weight athletes, 2 lightweight athletes and a coxswain. The same multi event format comprising sweep rowing and sculling will take place and some athletes can be expected to compete in both sculling and sweep categories.
