2018 CHS Rowing Championships

26/2/2018

On Monday 26th February Aimee Wagner, representing Blaxland High and Johnathon Imber, representing Nepean High took to the regatta entre to represent their schools at the NSW Combined High schools regatta for public school students. This was the first year for close to ten years since Nepean has had rowers competing in this event.
Both rowers performed very well on what was a good day for racing but poor for spectating with rain being present on and off throughout the day.
Aimee won the under 16 single and Johno came second in the under 17 single.

Taree Summer Regatta 13-15th January

15/2/2018

Camp
Our annual camp ran form the 2nd to the 11th January. It was another successful camp with around 25 rowers taking part both young and old. A big thank you to everyone who helped out and made this possible.
Taree 12-14th
We had another successful year. With a large squad we were again able to boat an array of crew boats that are not possible at normal regattas. Unfortunately due to high winds we were not able to complete the entire regatta, with the most part of Sunday racing cancelled.
The highlight again was the mixed eights. We had a handicap of twelve seconds this year, compared to four seconds last year. We did not have as high expectations but we went out there and gave it our best shot. We had a great race, even with a minor collision, and came away with second with UTS claiming the win for the second year running.
A big thankyou to the many people that made the weekend a big success.
