*** CHANGE OF DATE & FORMAT****
Please note: Our Annual Awards function will be held on Saturday night (not at Nationals as in past years).
This is the new date for the first of the Tikitapu (Blue Lake) regattas held at Lake Tikitapu in Rotorua. Catering for all age groups, this event will give distances of 100m, 200m, 500m and 1000m depending on age groups. This event will no longer be “divisional” style. Boats will be made up of K1s, K2s and K4s.
500m / 1000m will be raced on Saturday and 200m mainly raced on Sunday.
