| April 3 & 4 - New Zealand Universities Rowing Champs, Christchurch |
The 1999 NZU Rowing Champs were held in Christchurch on the flat but narrow Avon River
at Kerrs Reach. The tidal nature of the river meant we had only about 4 hours each day to
get through the regatta, and with 71 heats on the first day it was a big ask.
The regatta was officiated very smoothly by the Canterbury Rowing Association
and well organised by Adrienne Rush, the Regatta Controller.
Thanks also to Pacifica Shipping for providing us with extremely cheap transport for the boats from
Wellington to Lyttleton and back. Bringing a trailer load of boats from the North Island went a long
way toward alleviating the usual boat shortages.
The regatta was dominated by the South Island universities who came 1st, 2nd and 3rd. The Hebberley Shield
for the Men's University Eight was won by Canterbury, as was the Tamaki
Cup for the Women's University Eight. Canterbury University won the overall regatta.
Thanks again to Adrienne, the CRA, all the volunteers, Mark Brownlee, Ben Forrest,
Michaela Rush and everyone else who was involved.

| July 31 - New Zealand Tertiary Eights, Wanganui |
|
The 1999 Tertiary Eights was held on a typically sunny day winters day on the Wanganui River.
Crews from all over the country were in attendance and a great time was had by all.
The racing format consisted of a 6 kilometre race in the morning and then mixed (grades, universities and sexes)
social sprint racing in the afternoon (after a Victoria vs Massey womens sprint race).
The event was superbly run by the Wanganui Rowing Association and proudly sponsored
by Riverlands Eltham (the steaks were great!).
University Rowing would like to thank Matt Gray, President of Massey University Rowing Club
for organising the regatta overall, the Wanganui Rowing Association for running the regatta,
all those Wanganui clubs who kindly lent us their boats for the day, the New Zealand
Rowing Association for their help in organising the regatta and supplying the medals,
the Quality Hotel in Palmerston North for giving us a good deal on rooms and running a
thoroughly enjoyable ball in the evening and all the volunteers who generously
contributed to a thoroughly successful event.
