FIRE BAN

Everybody planning on attending Maadi at Lake Ruataniwhat is advised there is a total fire ban on in the region. The Mackenzie Basin is one of the areas worst affected by recent hot and dry conditions that have followed on from very little rain and significant rain will be required before the fire threat eases. So please take care while at the regatta!


ENTRY FEES

Schools are reminded the Terms and Conditions for the regatta state: "The current practices for all Regattas on Lake Ruataniwha will apply. This means that prior payment is not required. Invoices will be sent out electronically for prompt payment."

Payment of entry fees is not due in with the declaration forms and schools can expect to be invoiced their fees in due course.

Scratchings & Crew changes

Scratchings and crew changes/substitutions should be made by email to andrew@rowit.co.nz. When making scratchings and crew changes please ensure you identify event number, crew number and:

Notices & Updates Ruataniwha, 22-28 March 2010

  • FIRE BAN
    There is a total fire ban on in the region.
  • Activities around Twizel
    Please see the notices page of the school rowing website for a host of activities that can be undertaken in around Twizel and the Mackenzie Basin. Perfect for schools with any spare time during the regatta!
  • Weather
    Victoria University provides an excellent weather forecast service.
  • Tent sites
    SIRI works on a first-come first-served basis for tent sites and is selling tent sites by email through their Secretary, Mr Philip Bell, who can be contacted at: secretary@sir.org.nz. Sites at Lake Ruataniwha cost $256 + GST E&OE. The 2009-2010 season site allocations that have already been made are listed in the December newsletter from South Island Rowing Inc.
  • Twizel Accommodation
    TPDA is a good place to check for accommodation. Enquiries to Jeanette Gash tpda@twizel.com, ph: 03 435 0066, fax: 03 435 0086.
    We also list accommodation on the Notices page of our website.
  • Didymo / boat & gear washing
    Sadly, didymo is well established in Lake Ruataniwha. It is now more important than ever for schools to carefully wash all their on-water equipment. This includes any socks and footwear that goes in that Lake. Don't forget "Check, clean, dry". SIRI has well-established provisions for washing boats and Rangers will be on hand to oversee the process. All boats will need to be washed upon arrival at Lake Ruataniwha (this a requirement for lake usage imposed by Meridian Energy).
