After a very successful effort last year, Derwent Mercantile Collegiate Rowing Club is again hosting this event and will need strong support from all parents on the day to make it a success. This is a significant fund raising event (following on from the Silent Auction) and requires as many volunteers as possible to ensure success. The day will run similar to last year, with an additional BBQ, drinks van, and a merchandise stand with Rowbust apparel. Last year we had parents rostered for 2 hours shifts on each Kiosk/BBQ etc. This year it is planned to do the same, however it may be necessary to allocate some parents to 2 shifts for the day to some areas. It is appreciated that parents will want to watch their girls row, so every effort will be made to relieve parents to watch races. Here's a quick run down of the day:
