We wish you a safe and happy Christmas! We hope you enjoy some time with family and friends and we will see you back on the water in the New Year.
The following limits have been proposed by hosts and approved by the Schools Committee for the 2021 school regattas and the following will be applied at each event:
| Aon Maadi Cup | Aon North Island Secondary School Champs | Meridian South Island Secondary School Champs |
|---|---|---|
| Singles & Doubles 1 crew per event per school All other events 4 crews per event per school | Single, Double/Pair, Four/Quad 2 crews per event per school Eights and Octuples 4 crews per event per school | Single, Double/Pair, Four/Quad 2 crews per event per school Eights and Octuples No Limit |
After the close of entries regatta control may call for supplementary entries, which are limited late entries. But only where this will not require extra races to be completed. Schools should not rely on being able to get one of these late entries.
Also please note our recommendation for number of events - students should only be entered into 2 events with the occasional student undertaking 3 events. Should students be entered in more than the recommended 2-3 entries per student, Principals will be required to sign off the entry and could be contacted directly by the Schools Committee.
With the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic situation and the possibility of changing government regulations in NZ we would also like to recommend that schools, clubs and supporters consider their bookings and the subsequent cancellation policies or insurance of those bookings carefully. Disruption to or cancellation of these regattas could occur at any time.
The NZSSRA 2021 AGM will take place on Sunday 21st March after the safety briefing of the Aon Maadi Cup, at the Don Rowlands Centre. As per the 4-yearly cycle this AGM is a rule change year.
Please make remits, nominations and applications in writing to [email protected]
