Hants & Dorset Championship Regattas

Ref. REGATTA’S, JUNIOR EVENTS and HEAD RACE DATES - 2027.

In order to establish as early as possible and with the aim of having firm dates for all 2027 Events by the Autumn Council Meeting could all Event Secretaries please provide their ideal 2025 Regatta/Head/Junior Event date – plus an alternative date - by 31st July, 2026 at the very latest. This will allow time to, where possible, resolve any conflicts prior to the AGM/Coucil meeting and to submit provisional Regatta dates to British Rowing for inclusion in their Regatta planning, which is undertaken in early August each year. You can download an application form here.  Please note – at the Autumn Delegates Meeting of March, 2013 it was agreed that two dates must be given – failure to do so putting an events request at risk – and priority to others events requesting their date.

PLEASE NOTE NO REGATTA DATES FOR 2027 WILL BE ACCEPTED BEFORE 1st JULY, 2026 - ANY REQUESTS FOR SPECIFIC DATES RECEIVED PRIOR TO 1st JULY WILL BE RECORDED AS HAVING BEEN RECEIVED ON THE 1st JULY.

(As agreed at the Autumn Delegates meeting of 19th November, 1994.)

 

Public Liability Insurance via British Rowing. UPDATE.

The longstanding agreement between the H&D ARA, (and CARA and the West of England ARA) that BR allow H&D Events to take out BR Public Liability Insurance for all Hants and Dorset competitions has now ceased. Most H&D Clubs have found alternative Public Liability Insurance cover usually through their own Club Insurance and in most cases at no additional cost - saving the events some expenditure.  Other H&D Events have found Insurance Companies that will cover them – including for Events not at their Clubhouse location including Swanage Regatta – where there is no Club - and the South Coast Championships.
