The BSRA Board are delighted to announce a Livestream of the 2020 BSRA Head of the River.

The 2020 season has been impacted in many ways by Covid-19 and spectators being prohibited from the venue. This has been a hard pill to swallow for the supporters that love to cheer on their girls and schools. This situation has enabled a new opportunity that the BSRA member schools have embraced.

Livestreaming by Soutar Productions through the BSRA website will enable the supporters at home to share in the efforts of the rowers and the experience of the day.

The BSRA member schools hope you enjoy this unique and special opportunity streaming live to you from the Queensland State Rowing Centre at Wyaralong Dam, Allenview.

The BSRA Board has made the decision to SUSPEND the 2020 BSRA rowing season until further notice.

The corona virus impact over the past few weeks has taken us on a whirlwind and rowing is not immune to the effects.

The Board are meeting to discuss the options in mid-May and an update will be posted here.

The school rowing coordinators and relevant stakeholders are considering the options for a condensed rowing season. We hope to provide some level of competition for a great rowing experience.

Hello BSRA community

This year the BSRA is providing their own Commentators for the racing each Saturday from 27 July to 31 August. If you are interested please email me at rachael@bsra.org.au

Please feel free to include a friend in the commentary 😉 so that you can banter if that is your style!

We are also encouraging the Captain and Vice Captain of boats to make their way to the finish line and call a race or two at a time that suits them during the regatta. It’s an opportunity to share their personalities, enthusiasm and spirit for the sport and dabble in public announcing. Anyone in the school community who would like to give it a go is most welcome.

Thank you to the volunteers so far:

Colin McKenzie and Michael Robertson – Stuartholme

Luke Taylor – Lourdes Hill College

Richard Dorrstein – St Margaret’s
