Just under 10 weeks to go and the 2013 event is shaping up to be one of the highlights of Canberra’s Centenary year. Bulletin 2 for the event is being finalised and will be published to coincide with entries opening, however there are a few things we thought it best to let you know now, given enquiries are starting to roll in.

New Entry System for 2013 Masters

Rowing Australia (RA) has confirmed that Regatta Central (RC) will be used for the 2013 Masters event. More Information on submitting entries is available here .

Seat Fees

As previously advised the Seat Fee for each event entered is $45, no charge for coxswains. This seat fee is inclusive of a Regatta Central administration charge of 8% on each seat entry. The decision to include the charge as part of the seat fee is a decision that has been made for the 2013 Masters only. Rowing Australia acknowledges that given competitors had already been advised the seat fee prior to the finalisation of the Regatta Central administration charge, then it would not be appropriate to increase the fee further. The Organising Committee is greatly appreciative of this outcome.

Entry dates and deadlines

Entries for the regatta will be open from 9:00am on Wednesday 27 February and will close at 1:59pm AEST on Monday 1st April.

Premium Club Tent Sites Available

A limited number of premium club tents located on the lakes edge with excellent viewing of the race course will be available for hire at a rate of $500 each. These 6m x 3m tents will be allocated on a first come first served basis with payment required in full to secure a tent booking. Please contact: Deb Styman: gdth.styman@netspeed.com.au.

Volunteers Needed!

We are still looking for a number of volunteers to assist us during the championships. For more details, please contact Lyndell Wilson: lyndell.wilson@webone.com.au.
