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.
