On Sunday morning our Executive Officer Simon Tulloh resigned.
On behalf of the Association I would like to thank Simon for his hard work both as
Executive Officer and before that as Treasurer.
Simon has worked at accommodating the diverse interests that exist in ACT clubs,
and working to help grow the sport.
We wish him well and look forward to his continuing involvement with rowing through
coaching and administration.
Simon has assured me that he will aid us in a smooth handover and transition.
Within the next few days the ACTRA executive will start the process of finding a
replacement for Simon.

    South side of Lady Denman Drive, this was presented as a safety measure. 
    The no parking provisions are policed and fines apply.  Abundant alternative

    Drive (after unloading) and on Black Mountain Peninsular. 
  • The NCA has advised that there is a triathlon on Black Mountain Peninsula,
