Course: River Thames, 3000 metres downstream from Elmbridge Canoe Club to Miskins Wharf, run over two divisions – 10:30 and 13:00
RULES AND CLARIFICATIONS
Competitors are encouraged to race in more than one division, as offered above.
*2x are offered primarily to allow an option as a second event. 2x will be given priority where both members of the crew are racing also in a different event (4 or 8).
In the event of oversubscription, priority will be given to eights/octos, fours and quads.
Events may be split into bands containing competitors of similar ranking. This will be clearly indicated on the Start Order. Senior events will be banded based on CRIMax.
‡To accommodate the possibility of insufficient entries in either boat class, please state on your entry whether or not you are prepared to switch to coxless if entering coxed, or to switch to coxed if coxless – or if not, if you will race for 'Time Only'.
**For Coastal entries: if insufficient entries are received to make an event, please be prepared to race for 'Time Only'.
You are reminded that boats must display British Rowing standard identity codes and must be licensed for the Thames.

Enquiries only can be made on 07582 200851 or via email to entries@weybridgerowing.club
PRIZES
Prizes are awarded for any event in which three or more boats enter and at least two compete. In events with 9 or more entered will be offered a 2nd place medal, and events with 17 or more entered will be offered a 3rd place medal.
A commemorative medal will be awarded to each competing member of winning crews, including coxes.
FEES
£16 per competitor (coxes free) per event in advance.
Payment by bank transfer or BROE (see BROE2 for details) before 12-Jan-2023 – no cheques please.
Entries will not be accepted if entry fees are owing – this includes waiting list entries.
In the event of cancellation we will return as much of the fees as we can but it is likely we will have to withhold a proportion. Unfortunately, few of our suppliers now provide penalty-free cancellations even as far as 21 days in advance.
MASTERS EVENTS
Masters events will run in age groups, but may be combined using the conventional handicap system. Masters crews may be moved to the appropriate Senior category in the event of insufficient entries. Please state on your entry if you do not want to race Senior.
†The Mixed Masters Novice event will be run as a single event across both divisions. No more than 10 PRIMax in any seat (apart from the cox).
