Please Save the Date! - Sunday, September 23rd 2007 and plan to join us at GMS Rowing Center in New Milford, CT for the 3rd annual GMS Regatta and Sprint. The course is unchanged from last year with the Juniors rowing a 6k Challenge and Collegiate and Masters rowing 10k on the magnificent, sheltered waters of Lake Lillinonah and the Housatonic River. The 250 meter Sprint is an Open event with a running start and a great vantagepoint to cheer your favorites to the finish.
This summer GMS hosted the US Rowing Under 23 Lightweight Men's National Team Selection and Development Camp. The Under -23 coaches, Marc DeRose and James Mangan, prompted us to add Collegiate categories for the 4+ and 8+ to the regatta schedule. Individual collegiate scullers can compete in the Open event.
Once again, we will be running a shuttle service between the launch, observation area and finish line. Additionally music, barbecue and vendors will add to the festivities and provide the usual pleasant background to our event.
Registration is now open through Regatta Central and details regarding the event, directions, lodging etc are available on their site as well as at GMS Rowing Center. For questions, please contact regattaATgmsrowingcenterDOTus or leave a message at 860-350-4004.
A poster is attached and we would be grateful if you could display it on club notice boards and distribute to friends.
Sincerely,
Tim Davies & Guenter Beutter
