Caution: Lake Events over the Weekend

Event 1. ACT Youth Olympic Team Time Trial
The Rowing ACT Selectors are conducting a selection time trial tomorrow morning on the Yarramundi Reach rowing course. This will commence at 6:40 and conclude by 7:20am. Rowers will use lanes 6 and 7 to progress from the 1500m start line to the finish line. All rowers are requested to keep clear and coaches to keep wash to a minimum.

Event 2. Disher Cup Regatta
The annual Disher Cup Regatta between ANUBC, ADFA and RMC will take place on Saturday morning between 8am and 9:30am. Racing will be conducted between Museum Point and near the Boat House restaurant in Grevillia Park. This racing will be conducted via the mast direct route along the southern side of Central Basin. Rowers are requested to vacate the area well before 7:30am keep well clear until racing has concluded.

Event 3. ACT Dragons Abreast Challenge
This year the Dragons Abreast Challenge will be held in Yarralumla rather than the Yarramundi Reach rowing course. The regatta is an annual event which focuses on breast cancer survivorship and raises money for both local and national breast cancer related charities.
Racing will commence from 6am and conclude at 1:30pm. The course is to run along the Yarralumla Beach form the Solar Bee to the Red buoy at the eastern edge of Yarralumla Bay. This event should not impact rowers much except there will be increased numbers of dragon boats in the area. Rowers and coaches are reminded that wash does affect dragon boats as well. Please insure your members limit wash when passing this event. We all need to share the lake and be considerate.

Event 4. Col Panton Marathon Regatta
The Col Panton Marathon will take place early on Sunday morning. Rowers will race from an area adjacent to the mouth on the Molonglo River near the Boat House Restaurant and proceed via the most direct route to just off Tree House Beach in Weston Park. It is recommend that rowers not competing in the marathon remain off the water until the conclusion of the race. In the event rowers do take to the water they must be aware of the course and take extreme caution. Safety marshals stationed along the course. Racing should have concluded by 9am.

Logs in the Lake

Oct 13, 10:26 AM

Dear Rowers (and other lake users),
As of this morning (Saturday 13 October) West Basin and part of central Basin have large numbers of logs that have been flushed into the lake following the recent rain. For fragile boats, like most rowing shells, this effectively closes these parts of the lake. The NCA has responded to the crisis and their contractor will start clearing the logs this afternoon.

We understand that the NCA will remove the logs from west to east stopping the front of flotsam from moving further west. As of this morning the front had reached the National Library. Logs will be removed to Grevillea Park. Crews that travel through to East Basin should be aware that work boats will be present cleaning up, and perhaps obstructing any crews training.

Hopefully the Association will not have to cancel the Panton Marathon next weekend.

Last Days for 2012 Presentation Dinner tickets

RSVP by the October 5 to actra@rowingact.org

View the Presentation Dinner flyer and Booking Form.

The 2012 Rowing ACT Presentation Dinner will be held on the October 13. This is a dinner which we hope will become an annual event recognising various successes throughout the season. This year’s dinner is to be hosted by Sarah Cook and features interviews by Tim Gavel with all four of the 2012 ACT Australian Representatives, Sarah Cook (Olympic W8+), Angus Moore (U23 M8+), Riley Owen (University M2x) and Luke Letcher (Jnr M4x).

We will also be awarding NEW premiership pennants for the overall point score winner and the men’s and women’s point score winners. These pennants will then be kept by clubs for eternal display in their boatsheds. The presentations of the Winter Time Trial series winners will take place as well as the draw for the 2012 Junior and Under 23 raffle. There will be a silent auction throughout the evening, proceeds from which will assist with Riley Owens seat fee contribution required for his involvement in the 2012 Australian University Rowing Team. And much 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. Ultimately the long term aim is to breathe some more life into our local competition.

RSVP by the October 5 to actra@rowingact.org
