Registration

The deadline to register crews is July 10, 2010. Please use this registration form.

Once a crew has been registered, each rower will need to individually register on race day staring at 7h45. The registration booth will be located near the new shell house. The fee for each recreational rower is $20 for non-ORC members and $10 for ORC-members. Please bring cash with the exact change. We will no accept cheques or credit cards. U.S. dollars will be exchanged at par with the Canadian dollar. There is no registration fee for coxswains and junior development rowers.

Once registered, rowers are eligible to all races of their category (e.g. recreational) and gender. Rowers must be registered before racing. A food coupon will be given to all paid registrants (recreational rowers) and coxswains.

Coxswains do not need to be weighed for the competition.

Coaches' meeting

The coach meeting will be held at the new shell house, starting at 7h30.

Draw

A first draft of the 2010 draw will be provided on July 10, 2010.

Other information
