Entry Limits

The Regatta Committee reserves the right to limit entries to particular events or the regatta as a whole.

Double Entries

Will be accepted as stated below. The regatta is often over-subscribed and these rules exist to limit entries and to minimise the risk of entries being rejected arbitrarily due to excessive numbers. Whereever possible we will accommodate reasonable boat and cox sharing requests.

Open & Women's Open
Any two events in Elite, Championship, Senior and Intermediate 2 only one of these events should be a long course event (held in the morning).
Novice/Intermediate 3 & 4
There is no scope for Novice & Intermediate 3 crews to double enter.

Clubs must submit a SUMMARY FORM showing double entries of crews, coxes and boats. In addition please provide a mobile phone number where a senior club official can be contacted over the regatta weekend if the need arises.

Veteran Handicap Events

Will be organised in accordance with the guidance provided in the 2009 Veteran Handicap Events Operating Notes.

Junior Events

A minimum of three entries from two different clubs are required for an event to be held. If insufficient entries are received, the entries will be placed in the next age group for the class of boat unless an alternative is clearly stated.
