Notice of Change of Venue.

Schools Regatta Number 2.

5^th & 6^th February 2022.

The Board of Rowing Tasmania is constantly reviewing the COVID landscape and in consultation with the School’s Commission, the Southern Directors of Rowing and other stakeholders the decision has been to relocate School’s Regatta #2 from Franklin to the Lake Barrington International Rowing Course.

In discussion with Public Health Tasmania, concerns were raised on the ability to have a very high level of compliance in the area of the sign in using the Check In Tas App at the Franklin venue, hence the decision was made to move to Lake Barrington where we have the one road in and one road out.

At Schools #1, we successfully trialed Check In Tas process using an external security company.

Till the end of December 2021, our regattas are approved under the Business Tasmania Events Frame Work and our events from January onwards currently have provisional approval. It is our intention not to jeopardise both our Club and School regattas, and the Head of the River which is conducted by SATIS.

As you would appreciate, The Board has not made the decision lightly to move Schools #2 for this season, but as the Covid landscape continues to move we need to react accordingly and proactively.
