NOTE: COVID-19 Safety Guidelines have impacted our programs and activities. Please use this outline as a reference to a typical (non COVID-19) season, and know that we are patiently waiting to return to many of these cherished events!
If you are looking to find out at a glance when all the main key dates in the BIR year (which runs from August to August, in line with the competitive rowing season) take place, then this is the page for you.
Here you will find the yearly outline for the start and end dates of each of this season’s Juniors sessions, alongside the timing of Regattas, Learn To Row days, and BIR’s annual dinners, celebrations and board meetings. Please notes that all actual rowing competitive events are marked in italics below.
More details can be found on the Juniors Regattas, Masters Regattas and day-by-day Rowing/Event Calendar and elsewhere across all of bainbridgerowing.org, but check those specific pages throughout the year as the BIR team will be constantly updating and refining the precise dates and details for each event as the season unfolds.
