Applying to Host a Regatta

• To host a regatta you must apply to the AOCRA NSW Secretary with a proposed date (or provide a few dates as there may be multiple clubs requesting the same dates).

• The Regatta Calendar is usually developed at the end of the preceding season - the AOCRA NSW Secretary will advise clubs when the calendar is being developed.
  
  
• All regatta dates must be formally approved by the AOCRA NSW committee and AOCRA Inc. before being added to the official AOCRA NSW Zone Regatta Calendar.

There are important responsibilities that clubs take on when hosting a regatta.

• All clubs must comply with the rules and regulations of hosting a regatta and complete the "Regatta Information Form" and "Hosting a Regatta Contract" to ensure safety and insurance obligations are met.
  
  
• A draft Regatta Invitation will soon be attached to help you to develop your own invitiation. It will outline the minimum information you need to include. You will need to provide an electronic version of your Regatta Invitation to the AOCRA NSW Secretary for inclusion on the website.

Before hosting a regatta, you need to provide the AOCRA NSW Secretary:

• an electronic copy of your Regatta Invitation, before distributing to the clubs, for approval (this is to ensure all relevant information has been included).
  
  
• a copy of the Regatta Information Form with all the appropriate council and waterways approvals.
  
  
• a signed copy of the Regatta Contract.
