Additions and alterations for the 2007 Regatta.
  1. A J14Girls Octuple Sculls event will be offered, it will run on the Friday over 1000m. The former mixed events will now be for Boys only.
  2. Following the change in ARA policy to allow J15Girls sweep events at regattas there will be a J15 Girls 4+ event offered on the Friday to be raced over 1000m. This will be a trial event for 2007 and its place in the regatta will be reviewed in the autumn.
  3. J 13's: The committee recognises the fact that there a few J13's in education year 9 in some schools, our rules in the past have meant that such children have been precluded from competing with others in their year group. As from the 2007 regatta;
    The regatta will not accept the entry of competitors below year 9 (the J14 age group). Those crews with J13's in this year group must include a letter of verification with their entry.
    The regatta will still have the condition that it will not accept the entry of any cox below J13.
  4. The regatta will continue to run qualifying races, as in 2006, but crews are to race in random order, not alphabetical.
