The order of business will be as follows:
MOVED BY: The executive
Note: Currently the NZRA rule change year is specified as being the year after the Olympics. This is held in the same year as ours however it is held some months after ours. There is some merit in having our rule change year follow that of the NZRA as if they implement changes this association should consider implementing we cannot currently do so till three years later.MOVED BY: The Executive
NOTE: members asked last year that the quorum rule be reviewed. The executive feels that for non rule change years the quorum can be reduced as proposed. However in rule change years the current quorum should be maintained as changes made must be considered by a greater number of members.MOVED BY: The Executive
NOTE: this rule has no relevance to this body.MOVED BY: The Executive
NOTE: While it has been accepted practice over recent years that the regatta shall not be held in the same island each year there is nothing to state this must be so. In fairness to the Members in both islands it is felt this should be incorporated in our regulations.MOVED BY: St Peters School
MOVED BY: St Peters School
MOVED BY: The Executive
NOTE: This is the current FISA wording. Following concern about rowers having their feet caught in the shoes of capsized boats and a recent death, the Secretary had discussions with the NZRA on this subject and it was agreed that the NZRA should change their rules to be specific on this point. They have indicated they will incorporate the above FISA wording within their rules this year.MOVED BY: The Executive
NOTE: The executive’s views on the continued inclusion of Light weight events in the programme are well known. As the majority of members have insisted the events remain the executive feels our rule should exclude the averaging and come into line with most overseas School rowing organisations.MOVED BY: The Executive
NOTE: the constitution states these should be reviewed each year.NOTE: This notice is a week late this year. The delay has been caused by the need to wait for the NZSSSC set the 2002 Tournament week as this could have clashed with Easter and the Executive had in that case decide if that would be followed. The date was set for the week starting 18th March. The delay then caused the last Executive meeting to confirm the remits to clash with the NZRA nationals.
The Secretary
