Regrettably tomorrow’s CGGS & CGS Regatta has been cancelled.
The latest Bureau of Meteorology weather forecast for tomorrow is for rain of between 25 and 60mm, winds of 30-45km per hour and a possible thunderstorm.
As per Rule 90 (RA Rule Book as used by Rowing ACT), the above forecast conditions would present unsafe conditions for rowers and officials alike, and, as such, tomorrow’s regatta will not proceed.
RACT’s most experienced BROs have agreed that this is the correct decision.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding.
