Entries close at 6pm on Friday 7th 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 advise us when making your draw of any regattas that you will be attending that may change your competitors' racing points total before the Regatta; 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 10th 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 BROE without limit before the draw closes - subject to British Rowing's Rules of Racing - after the draw closes.

Entries are now being accepted via British Rowing's online entry system.
