NorthWest International Rowing Association

First of all, sorry for the delay in getting this packet out. The packet is 16 pages long. We had to make sure that we provide essential information to participating clubs. See attachments below.

The 106th NWIRA Championship Regatta is only about 5 weeks away. It will be held at Lake Elmo in the City of Lake Elmo on August 21-22, 2009. This will be the 23rd time that the Minnesota Boat Club has hosted or co-hosted the championship regatta. For some long time rowers, Lake Elmo will be a familiar site as it was the rowing venue for the 73rd NWIRA Championship Regatta in 1976.

Regatta registration and complete regatta information packet will be available on the NWIRA website on July 20, 2009.

After 33 years, the NWIRA Championship Regatta is returning to Lake Elmo. As we did in 1976, the Minnesota Boat Club is hosting the championship regatta on August 21 and 22 (Friday and Saturday), 2009. More information will be posted soon.
