CPGA Racing Rules apply throughout.

All rowers must be:

18+ on the day of the event.

A GigRower Member (this also includes coxes).

Members of your club – composite and mixed crews are NOT permitted.

The non-refundable entry fee of £60 per crew, agreed with the CPGA, is set and received by

the club to go towards the overheads and expenses required to run the event.

In order to run this event, participating clubs will be required to put forward a loan gig for the

championship. Failure to offer or provide a gig requested may result in your entry being

declined. All gigs loaned must be seaworthy, feature safety equipment and have long painters

(bowline/stern line) aboard. Gigs are loaned in good faith and therefore all coxswains should

have a good level of competence (no novice coxswains please).

Loan boats will contain cushions and pins provided by the respective clubs, but each crew

will need to provide their own oars, spare pins and a working VHF radio. Please bring a set of

oars for each crew. It will not be possible for rowers or coxswains to compete in more than

one category.

Crews must be the same 6 rowers – there cannot be a rotation of rowers within a squad.

A weather check will take place by midday on Friday 5th June. There will be no refunds

available if the event is cancelled due to adverse weather conditions.Please note: This event will be filmed and photographed. By entering this event, competitors

consent to footage and photographs being made publicly available in line with the CPGA

Terms and Conditions. To find out more please visit www.cpga.co.uk/about/policies
