Winter Series 2023/24 is Almost Upon Us!

 

Every year the Harkers Yard Gig Association hold their ‘Winter Series’ of races.  Starting in September/October each Harkers Yard club will take their turn to organise their leg of the race season.  

This is a highly popular series of races and always attended by every HYGA club. 

Separate races take place at each event for Ladies, Men's and Mixed.

A points system is in place for each gig competing and a league table produced after every race to show gigs

positions within it.

To prepare for racing we have organised regular Sunday morning training sessions for those that would like to take part.

More information on these will be made available shortly via SPOND.

Many of you will already have been introduced to ‘race starts’ and stroke types required to compete as part of our social rowing sessions.

Those new people that competed in our inter club races will know what to expect come race day!

There are trophy's and awards to win at every race throughout.  

It is also chance to be part of, and get to know other local rowers.  

It’s a wonderful race series and a recommended experience.

A HYGA series champion trophy will be awarded to the overall series winner at a dinner dance usually at the end of March.

Want to be considered to race? 

Look out for the communications from our selection committee and respond if you would like to be

considered.  We will require a large team as we aim to compete in all three events at each race.
