RACT is in the process of exploring a number of options and will endeavour to formalise any changes as soon as possible. For the first regatta on Saturday 6 November 2010, would all clubs please observe the following:

1. Trailers:
a. For Arrival at Lady Denman Drive before 7.00am: trailers may be driven down below bike path. Trailers to be detached from towing vehicle and towing vehicle parked as below (point 2).

b. For trailers arriving after 7.00am: For unloading, rigging and launching, locate trailers at Kurrajong Point rocky beach at northern end of Weston Park or concrete staging/grassed area adjacent to boat ramp on John Cardiff Close at Black Mountain Peninsula.

2. Spectator and Rower Parking: Approximately 30 designated parking spots available at Lady Denman Drive. Additional parking at Black Mountain Peninsula or Acacia Inlet. Please note parking inspectors and police will be monitoring compliance at Lady Denman Drive.

3. Tent Set-Up: All tents to be set up below the cycle path ie the lake side of the path.
It is also important that rowers observe some basic requirements to promote water safety during the regatta.

• Rowers approaching the course should do so with care.
• Rowers should give way, and stay clear, of boats completing races.
• Rowers should proceed from the finish to the start with caution, rowing between the big red buoy at the finish of the course closest to the northern bank and the northern bank itself.
• Rowers departing the course should do so by maintaining a line between Weston Park and the big red buoy broadly in line with the BMRC/Daramalan pontoon, closest to the northern bank.
