By-Laws Updated for Regatta Sub-Committee Charter

 

The By-laws have been updated to incorporate a Charter for the Regatta Sub-Committee.  This involved removing the text from the body of the May version of the By-Laws and attaching an expanded Charter.  The changes include making the Executive Officer a voting member of the Sub-Committee but also provide more information on its operation.

Given the breadth of the By-Laws, and the need to ensure they remain current, continued updates can be expected.

The By-Laws are accessible directly through the website menu.  (/About/Governance/By-laws.)

Winter Time Trials – Open to all rowers

As earlier indicated, entries to the 2015 Winter Time Trial Series will be managed through Rowing Manager with the deadline closing at 10:00pm on Sunday 17 May.  The extended use of Rowing Manager provides a more consistent and accessible entry system and lessens the RACT workload associated with managing these non-regatta events.

Rowing Manager does not currently allow non-competitive rowers to enter into an event.  However, following discussions with the developer he has indicated that a fix can be applied before WTT2.  In the meantime, we have found a work-a-round for WTT1.  This involves temporarily assigning competitive status to social […]

The Board would like to thank all those who contributed to the development of the By-laws since consultations were […]
