Water update

christopher May 13th, 2008

The reservoir toe drain works have been completed and the water level should now rise gradually as BWB plan not to take any water from the reservoir. Whilst, this is good news there’s more potentially bad on the horizon. The spillway repairs works were supposed to only require a drop to 0.5m to complete, however, because of “running sands”the engineer has requested that the level be dropped to -3.0m whilst this work is going on - this is planned to be in August. This is also the best case scenario.

Regatta results

christopher April 29th, 2008

Saturday was a blustery day with a moderate to strong cross head wind which made conditions at the start very unpleasant. All the races after the first one were free starts. The results are here

Regatta draw (slightly revised)

christopher April 17th, 2008

Unfortunately there was a missing novice 4+ from the draw, and this event has been redrawn. Changes only affect this event.

The regatta draw is published here. We have had a very good entry, but not all crews could get an event. Because of the size of the entry the J16 events (which are not primary regatta events) are being held as straight knockouts. There are no J12 races so Division 4 will follow Division 1 after a 20 minute gap. Draw and instructions will be sent out tomorrow. Further details are available on the regatta pages.
