the Clare Novice Regatta Coxes' meeting.

Novice crews will be split between the first and second divisions according
to the start order which is based upon last year's results. If your club has
any specific boat sharing requirements which restrict divisions crews can
race in, please enter this in the Boat Sharing field on the entry form - we
will do our best to accommodate all requests.

If you have any queries or your club is not listed on the entry system (and
you wish to make an entry), please get in touch.


Kind regards
