Regatta Entries On-Line After successful trials with Head Races, the on-line system is being introduced for the regatta season. More than 30 regattas have signed up to use it. The complexity of the competition rules have resulted in the system taking 12 rather than the 3 months as planned to develop. Regatta Magazine Tenders for print and production have been received. University Boat Race organisers were fully involved in content for their Programme, and very pleased with the finished copy. CDO Team We have advertised for new CDOs for Team South East and the new Team North. Simon Dowdy has been appointed Team Leader for Team South East, and Rory Semple will be Team Leader for Team North. Whole Sport Plan Work is currently underway to publish the WSP, together with regional summaries. The Facilities Consultant will be working with the regions on their facility priorities to be attached to their plans. This will provide continuity for the ARAs Facilities Strategy which runs to the end of 2005. Monitoring and evaluation We are developing a monitoring system to determine how often participants take part in the sport, as athletes, coaches or volunteers as required by our funding partners. This will be extended to regional areas of the website so that data from regions can be monitored by them and fed into the national data. Volunteer of the Year Award Rory Semple has circulated the regions with application forms for the Volunteer of the Year Award, nominations to reach the ARA by 31st May. Regional winners will be invited to attend a meeting with the ARA Chairman at a suitable event during the year. Indoor Rowing Tessa Jowell, Secretary of State at the DCMS, visited Warrington Rowing Club recently, and was taken on the water, and given a demonstration of an indoor rowing competition. The possibilities of developing indoor rowing to meet the needs of increasing physical activity targets were explained to her, and she was very impressed with what she saw. Mrs. Jowell has agreed to promote a meeting with officials and members in the Department of Health so see how the project could be moved forward. The pending election will delay the public launch of the Rowed to Health Project, and with advice from the Parliamentary Rowing MPs this is now planned for July. Members Insurance Scheme Renewal of the ARA Members Insurance Scheme has been offered by our insurers with a 5% increase in premium, a very good result in view of the current insurance market. This is very much a result of the good claims experience, and what is regarded by insurers as the ARAs excellent policies, particularly Child Protection. We are also offered an improved benefit package for Personal Accident, to cover small but useful payments for broken limbs, and hospitalisation as a result of a rowing injury. Adaptive Rowing Simon Goodey has produced Guidelines for ARA Classification for National Competitions and a Registration Form. This will be circulated to clubs and be posted on the website. London Regatta Centre A meeting was held with the London Regatta Centre, seeking support from the ARA. A report to be discussed by Executive.
