Indoor Rowing Championship at UVic
 

7 km head race
 

One of the club's major fundraisers each year.  Rowers collect pledges from their friends and colleagures and then keep two rowing machines going for 24 hours.  All proceeds go towards the equipment budget.

The Shawnigan Regatta is one of the club's favourites; lots of epic racing at the end of the season in the sun that we can watch sitting on the grass in the park, AND free food at a BBQ on Saturday night.  The only real drawback is the insane twelve hour days of racing.  It is, for our purposes, the provincial championships.  A really cool, first class event; also has loads of races for everyone.  The regatta takes place at the provincial campground on West Shawnigan Lake Road, not the school.  Guaranteed someone will get lost driving there so be sure to look at the directions!
 

We roll all of that stuff together and kick it off with Don Rinald's 4th Annual Road Hockey Rumble (which everyone is welcome to attend).  A super fun day and a great opportunity for fresh blood to be injected into our executive committee.  The awards are a great event that no one should miss; who will be this year's most fashionable rower?  What will prevail as quote of the year?  Only time will tell.
 

The culmination of the Community Corporate Rowing Challenge - your first regatta!!

This is, usually a weekend or week of practices, where we race kids off in a bunch of different double combinations in order to, very scientifically of course, rank their boat speed.  I think that it is a really important and positive thing to do for our athletes.  The fastest boy and girl get their name on the Anna Gerrard Award and can bask in the glory forever.
