Thames Ditton Regatta is held under the rules of British Rowing and conforms
to the British Rowing Water Safety Code, now known as ‘Row Safe: A Guide to Good Practice in
Rowing’. This can be found in the 2010 Almanack and are also available on British Rowing’s
web site.
Racing will not start until about 8.30am, and the total number of entries will be
limited to 240. Doubling-up will therefore not be allowed in J13 and J14 events, and only in
J15 events where possible. There will be a ‘Plate’ event for first-round losers
in as many J13, J14 and J15 events as possible. If entries are still oversubscribed,
doubling-up will not be allowed in J16 events and above.
In the light of the 2009 changes in the Rules of Racing we are offering a greater range of events
this year, but events which have fewer than four entries will not be run.
Competitors are asked to indicate on their entry if they are not prepared to be moved up to higher status events.
Please indicate on the entry where crews (including coxes) are doubling-up and/ or boat sharing and the
order of priority of entries.
Under no circumstances will the timetable be changed after the draw. Any likely change
of status should be noted on the entry (e.g. if you are entering a race the previous weekend).
All races are upstream over a distance of approximately 1000 metres with a free start. The
course starts by Thames Ditton Island and finishes just downstream of the River Mole. The
course will be buoyed.
Please note that there will be no parking for cars on the regatta site. Towing vehicles
and trailers only will be allowed access.
