Rowing ACT has finalised selections and would like to announce appointments of the following positions:

Head Coach Women: Dafydd Gwynn-Jones
Head Coach Men: Chris Polyichanin
Team Managers: Kate Beasley, Katie Duncan

Congratulations to you all on your appointments.

ACT Parks will be felling willow trees near Lady Denman Drive into the lake. Debris will be removed daily, but a safety line of buoys will be installed to keep rowers clear of the works. Please keep a look out for the buoys and ensure that crews stay to the south of the line. Although debris from the felling will be removed, it would be wise to keep an eye out as you row in the area.

Rowing ACT sends congratulations to Angus Moore (CGS) on his selection in the Junior Men’s Coxed Four. Amy Fowler (CRC) on her selection in the U23 Womens Quad. And to Mathew Barnier on his selection in the NTID Development Tour Squad. Rowing ACT also welcomes rowers training out of the AIS over the coming months – rug up guys! Full squad lists can be found at Open, U23, Junior.

The ACT Department of Parks, Conservation and Lands is going to conduct willow removal at the side of Lake Burley Griffin during May this year. As part of these works the pontoon jetty located near the end of the rowing course, will be temporarily removed. No specific dates for the work have been indicated yet.
