11 June 2017 – Mixed weather conditions causes waves at British Rowing Masters Championships

11 June 2017, official communication

While the cancellation of racing on Sunday afternoon as a result of high winds was unfortunate, the British Rowing Masters Championships rules state that ‘In the event that the Regatta is cancelled for reasons beyond its control entry fees will not be returned’. Therefore, we will not be able to return fees to those who entered but did not race.

11 June 2017, 13:45 official communication

The race committee and the organising committee have been monitoring the course and the forecast weather for the afternoon.

Unfortunately, the current conditions and the weather forecast for increased wind spends, particularly the strength of gusts look set to worsen until 6pm this evening.

Accordingly, the Race Committee have reached the decision that the conditions are not safe to race and have taken the difficult decision to cancel racing for the rest of the day.

9 June 2017 – The Committee has discussed the weather situation. The forecast is improving and we plan to run the weekend as scheduled. We will continue to monitor the weather over the weekend and if necessary will update further on Saturday.
