Event information

Have you ever wondered what it is like to row at Champion Lakes, follow the marked course or line up at a proper start?  Wonder no more - ANA RC is organising a recreational rowing day for all members.
 
You do not need to arrive with a crew - register as you are, and we will create mixed crews based on experience, boat suitability and safety.
 
The program will include an introduction to ANA RC's Champion Lakes shed, safe boat transport and equipment handling, launching from a pontoon, course and lane protocols, straight-line rowing, start practice and some friendly 500m or 1000m sprints. before finishing with a tasty BBQ / picnic lunch.
 
Places are limited and advance registration is essential, by 5pm Sunday 1st November to Susan. When registering, please tell us about your rowing experience, whether you scull or sweep, any coxing or steering experience, and the boat types you would like to try.
 
Boat allocations will be made by the coaches using boats approved by the Captain. The final program will depend on coach availability, weather and safe operating capacity.  If interest exceeds the available places, we will use a waitlist or arrange a second day. We hope you will join us for a friendly introduction to a very different rowing environment and a chance to meet members from across the Club.
