MURWILLUMBAH Rowing Club (MLC) will host the first regatta in the region since 2019 on Sunday, November 17.<\/p>\n

In partnership with Tweed Heads and Coolangatta Rowing Club, The Murwillumbah and Tweed Heads Regatta will run one- and two-kilometre races in all boat classes.<\/p>\n

Events will include juniors, seniors and masters with men’s, as well as women’s and mixed crews.<\/p>\n

The course runs from just above Condong Bridge for the 2000-metre start to finish at the MLC.<\/p>\n

Murwillumbah Rowing Club president Robert Gee said the club was excited about the event.<\/p>\n

“This event will be the first Northern Rivers Rowing Association regatta in Murwillumbah since pre-COVID and the floods,” Gee said.<\/p>\n

“It may have been a long time, but we are really looking forward to having a full day of racing with all boat classes from single sculls to eights invited to race.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“We are hoping for entries from clubs across all the Northern Rivers and southeast Queensland, and with fine weather and low winds, there should be some terrific racing on our six-lane course.”<\/p>\n

The MLC was founded in 1902 as the Tweed River Rowing Club and, in 1976, was re-established as Murwillumbah Rowing Club after many years of challenges, including severe floods.<\/p>\n

The new purpose-built clubhouse was completed for the 1999\/2000 season and became the training course for the Sydney Olympics rowing team.<\/p>\n

Novice masters events have been added to the regatta to promote single sculling among those who have come to rowing later and might never have won a sculling race.<\/p>\n

Northern Rivers Rowing Association points will apply, as well as age handicaps as per other masters events.<\/p>\n
