Developing Club Run Regattas

   25 January 2023    Athletes, National, Regional and Local

The Sprint Racing Committee are putting their weight behind the development of Club run regattas. The attached press release outlines the support that the committee can offer, and urge you to consider becoming part of this new venture.  Although we already have some club regattas in the calendar (for which the SRC are really thankful), we realise that only having four national regattas per year at Holme Pierrepont to practice sprint skills in a race environment simply isn’t enough. We are encouraging all new and existing club run regattas to now come under the umbrella of the SRC. 

To get this new culture off the ground the Community of large and small clubs will need to come together. Please consider this as something for you. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact Tim Scott, chair of the SRC, using the address below.
