INSTRUCTIONS TO COMPETITORS

• 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 tinnie and a megaphone.

Well it has now been two weeks since I began with Rowing ACT in the role of Administration and Development Officer. I would like to take this opportunity to formally introduce myself and give you a brief back ground. My name is James Hammond. I have been involved in rowing on and off, now for 14 years, with the last 6 having been coaching. I am also currently in my last year of an Exercise Science/Coaching Science degree.

There have been some small administrative changes made over the past few weeks that you should be aware of. We have established an office back in ACT Sports House, 100 Maitland Street, Hackett ACT 2602. Please be aware however our mailing address will remain P.O. Box 8366 ANU ACT 6200 (Please note the unique Post Code). We are also in the process of establishing an internet connection within the office, so for the time being I have been working from home. Rowing ACT has a new number which I will be contactable on, 0406 376 666. The actra@rowingact.org.au will still be the admin contact for most general inquires. I will be working Monday to Thursday from 8:30am so for a fast reply contact me between these times.
If there are any matters Rowing ACT has been working with you on that I may need to continue please reply email.

I look forward to working with you all.
