Trophies of the ACT – draft 2

Trophies of the ACT

Rowing ACT was founded in 1964. Since that time many trophies have been created. Some of these trophies are no longer relevant, for example races involving tubs, some have been obscured by the mists of time or simply lost. However, a good number of trophies have endured and Rowing ACT has catalogued them to honour those who have been successful over the years.

A full listing of trophies and other awards are set out at the bottom of this page.  However, the trophies have been categorised below.

Summer Regatta Season

There are usually 5 points-scoring regattas leading to the ACT Champs.  For some seasons, six regattas are staged.

Winter Time Trials

The winter time trail series was started  by Mark Kwiatkowski of Canberra Rowing Club.  It was subsequently handed over to Rowing ACT which has run it ever since.  The race is over about a 4 km course running from Scrivener Dam to Yarralumla Bay, following the contours of Lake Burley Griffin.  Although there are a range of prizes, there are two main awards.
