H&DARA South Coast Rowing Handbook 2018/2019.

Hants & Dorset Amateur Rowing Associations South Coast Rowing Handbook - 2018/2019.

The Hants & Dorset Amateur Rowing Associations South Coast Rowing Handbook - for 2018/2019 - has now been published and distribution is underway - although this make take a week to 10 days to complete. Its normally distributed befor the first H&D Regatta but the early than usual start to the H&D season at Colaporters on the 5th May menat that we have missed this - our apologies.

A pdf version of the Handbook can be downloaded from the H&DARA web site at - www.hdara.co.uk - go to the "downloads" Tab and it is the first link on the "2018 Information" section.

Once again this year the handbook has been produced by Hants & Dorset ARA and contains a wealth of information about the Association and its affiliated Clubs and Regatta's and the South Coast Championships.

The Handbook's are being distributed to the Associations Executive Officers, Life Vice Presidents, Club Secretaries, Event Secretaries, and Full & Assistant Racing Officials. One copy is being sent to Executive Officers, Life & Vice Presidents and Full and Assistant Racing Officials - but not being duplicated where an individual holds more than one of these positions. Each Event Secretary will also receive a copy regardless of duplication - and each Club Secretary, where the Club has paid its affiliation fee will receive at least three copies for distribution within the Club - 1 may be posted - the others distributed at the first available opportunity. Please make sure Club copies are distributed appropriately - last year several Club Captains, Treasurers etc. did not seem to be aware of the handbooks existence!

It should be noted that while every effort was made to ensure the information is as accurate as possible no responsibility can be taken for errors and omissions especially from those Clubs that failed to respond in time to requests for information or changes that have taken place since 20th March when the handbook went to print.

Steve Bull, Association Secretary.
