On 28th and 29th January 2017 the Victoria Lake Rowing Club will host the 110th VLC National Sprints Regatta. The VLC National Sprints Regatta is a national rowing regatta supported by school, university and masters rowing clubs throughout the country. Due to our "national" status we are privileged to have umpires with national qualification status ensuring that the events run smoothly. The races are over a surveyed course of 1000m.
This regatta is getting more popular every year. In 2014 we had 769 entries; in 2015 there were 850 entries and in 2016 we had 942 entries and over 1500 athletes!
