This is a large two day regatta that usually attracts hundreds of competitors and that many more supporters. ACTRA will welcome assistance from experienced local volunteers, and invites everyone to come and see the event for themselves. Yarramundi Reach is closed to everyone other than competitors and officials for the weekend. Canberra Girls Grammar School Regatta – 21 February – Call for Entries The CGGS Regatta is just over two weeks away. Entries are due with ACTRA on the weekend of 14-15 February (during the ISRA Regatta). See your club for details. Yarramundi Reach Course Buoys A significant number of the buoys on the rowing course are going missing each week. We have been trying to educate coaches to avoid chopping them out with coach boats, and the ferry masters are also taking more care. However, it is also a significant for ACTRA to purchase new replacements, when the buoys just need to be retrieved and refitted. The course is maintained by volunteers from both Black Mountain and Canberra Rowing Clubs. If you come across any loosebuoys (on water or land), please return them to either of those club houses so they can be replaced where they belong.
Peter Williams, a parent of a Canberra Girls Grammar Rowing Club rower, has taken quite a few photos at last weekend’s regatta. The are posted on his website. He is not looking to make any money as he enjoys taking the photos but if anyone would like a copy of any of the images they can drop him a note via the webpage.
