Entries close:
OARA entries close at 6pm on Friday 1st May,
or when we reach full capacity, whichever is sooner. Please note that we have closed early due to reaching full capacity on several occasions in recent years, so you are strongly advised to avoid disappointment by entering in good time. Please note that with the new ARA Rules of Racing in place from 1st April, it is likely that many more crews than normal will incur additional status points in early-season regattas; please therefore advise us when making your draw of any regattas that you will be attending that may change your competitors' ARA points total before the Regatta. Please see our further information page for more information on this important issue.
The draw will take place at Bedford Rowing Club from noon on Monday 4th May.
Doubling up
is at the competitor’s risk and is ONLY permitted in any
TWO events at the discretion of the Committee. Such entries will only be accepted if
they can be fitted in the programme, on the clear understanding that
programme timing must be adhered to.
Substitutions can be made online via OARA without limit before the draw closes, and in line with the ARA Rules of Racing after the draw closes.
Entries are now being accepted via the ARA's OARA system; several entries have been received already.
THE COMMITTEE RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CANCEL ANY EVENT UNLESS AT LEAST FOUR ENTRIES ARE RECEIVED. CREWS WILL BE MOVED TO THE NEAREST AVAILABLE STATUS IF THERE ARE INSUFFICIENT ENTRIES IN YOUR CHOSEN EVENT; PLEASE INDICATE CLEARLY IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR ENTRY TO BE ‘ROUNDED UP’ IN THIS WAY.
