The ACTRA event calendar now includes other
events being held on the lake during this year and next, as provided by the NCA.
Note the impact on rowing by these events has not been assessed.

The ACTRA AGM was held last night and a new board elected. The new president, David Bagnall said:
“Brendon Prout is to be commended on his nine years as president of ACTRA. This
period has seen major changes in the administration of the sport in the ACT
including significant changes to the constitution and creation of the Executive
Officer position. Brendon’s contribution is therefore very significant and on
behalf of all of us l thank him for his extensive efforts.

I would also like to thank Suzie Nermutova and Rick Worboys for their efforts on
the Executive over the last 12 months. Both contributed constructively to the
administration of the sport locally.”
