Sunday
Those rowers who would like to participate in the 250 metre sprints between 2.00 pm and 4.00 pm on Sunday, could you please be at the Waterman’s Dock (opposite the Customs House pub) at 1.45 pm (for those who wished to row early) - but don’t leave us in the lurch for the last half of the programme.  The schedule on Sunday is particularly important as we have Her Excellency the Governor attending from 3.25 to view the rowing and at 4.00 pm to present the award to the fastest crew.

Individuals and teams please do you best to participate as we would like there to be a good show, especially whilst the Governor is there. Individuals do not need to be part of a team or crew, that can be done on the day.

The course will be along the Princes Wharf area near the new IMAS building
Venue for the award: the IMAS building
