The second regatta of the ACT season is being postponed to 24 November due to the Lake Burley Griffin closure. The National Capital Commission is due to make its next assessment of the lake’s safety on Friday afternoon. This timing does not give ACTRA sufficient time to deal with the possible outcomes. If you need or want to change your entry, you can do this through your club. Find out from your club’s regatta secretary when changes need to be submitted. A new regatta draw will be published next week. Motor Boat Driver Licence – ACT Test Session Announced People driving motor boats on the ACT’s lakes are required to hold a current motor boat driver’s licence. The ACT does not issue its own licences and therefore a NSW licence is the easiest option. You can arrange to sit a licence test in Queanbeyan, or you can join in with fellow rowing people at an ACTRA arranged seminar and test session starting at 18:30 on Wednesday, 12 December at Sports House, Hackett. Costs are $10 for the seminar, $27 to attempt the licence test, $41 for a 1 year licence, $97 for a 3 year Licence, $20 for a 1 year Licence concession holder, and $47.50 for a 3 year Licence concession holder. Please RSVP to ACTRA by Wednesday 5 December. You can read about the licence requirements on the NSW government web site.
