Nottingham Masters & Club Regatta

Sunday 12th May 2024

Six lanes (1000 m) at the National Watersports Centre (Holme Pierrepont)

Schedule of events

Masters, Senior and Junior events will be rowed in the following order. Events not listed will be incorporated to suit competitors as far as is practicable.

To alleviate scheduling difficulties we may be able to spread out the Masters races by inserting Junior and Senior races that follow on from the Masters boat type. Please make copious notes in BROE on any doubling-up and/or boat sharing and we will try our best to accommodate you.

Note: "Ch" events in the grid below are shorthand for Open/Women, i.e. senior events.

Race progression

Every race is a straight final of 2 - 6 boats.

Entry fees

Entries close 6 pm on Thursday 2nd May 2024

• Eights £170

• Fours/quads £94

• Doubles/pairs £52

• Singles £28

CANCELLATION REFUNDS : If the event is cancelled before it starts we will try to refund a proportion of the entry fee after the fixed costs of the event have been covered. The amount withheld would be to cover any unavoidable costs. 

Parking

All vehicles are subject to the NWSC's parking charges. A discount code has been set up so that parking on both the 11th and 12th will cost £10 - but unfortunately there is no discount available for one day's parking, which will cost £7.50.

Details on how to access the discounted charge will be sent out with Competitors' Instructions.

Note that these charges are not set by the regatta.

Conditions of entry

General

1. The Regatta is open to all club and composite crews. 

2. All competitors must provide their own boats and blades. 

3. All boats must be fitted with slots for numbers on the bows.

The draw

4. The draw will be made in Nottingham Rowing Club on Saturday 5th May at 1 pm. It will be published on this website on Tuesday 7th May.

5. Masters and Senior events may be split into bands based upon the CRI of the crews, as well as ages in the case of Masters crews.

6. To accommodate races in the schedule, there may at times be "races within a race" - if this happens then crews who are racing each other will be in adjacent lanes.

7. The committee reserves the right to alter the list of entries to correct a mistake of the Regatta, or should it be in the best interests of racing. 

Combining age categories in a race

8. Entries are available for all age categories: if it's necessary to combine age categories in order to form a race then the BR handicapping system will be used. 

Competitors

9. All competitors must be able to produce a valid BR racing licence on demand.

10. Coxes requiring deadweight must bring their own clearly identifiable weights. 

11. Coxes will be weighed not more than two hours, nor less than one hour, before the published time of the first race in the event.

12. Junior events  will not be banded by CRI. The committee reserves the right to move junior crews to corresponding senior events on the basis of CRI if no appropriate junior event can be formed.

Prizes

13. Immediately after a final, the winning crew will be instructed to proceed directly to the presentation pontoon. Be aware of condition 9 above.
