*Masters (Handicap) crews will be placed according to their adjusted time in line with the Masters Handicap system (British Rowing Rules of Racing). [Note: Subject to the number of entries, Masters categories will be split into two or more divisions e.g. Masters B/C and Masters D/E/F]

Lightweight weights: The maximum weight for these events is in line with the indoor rowing rules: For men max weight is 75kg, and for women max weight is 61.5kg. All lightweight competitors must meet this limit, there will be no additional average crew weight restriction. (Any crew that enters lightweight but fails to weigh in successfully will be moved into the equivalent open weight category.) Weigh in arrangements will be emailed out to entrants.

As far as possible, crews in each category will be started in last year's finishing order (both crew members to be the same), followed by new entries in drawn order. If you raced last year please remind us when you enter.

All entrants should note that race information will be posted on the website and will be emailed out to competitors. No copies will be posted, so please ensure we have your email details.

The organisers reserve the right to refuse an entry at any time without giving a reason.
