The time has come again for members of Perth’s business community to compete head-to-head in
WA’s only rowing regatta in the central business district.

This year marks the 22nd anniversary of the WA Rowing Club’s annual Lord Mayor’s Cup regatta.
The event is set to feature 32 four-man crews who will undertake a month-long crash course in the
art of rowing, then compete over a 500m course during a day of festivities on the Swan River
foreshore.

Ask your employer. Or, if you have your own company, consider entering a crew. Ask your mates. Ask your mum.

The entry fee for each crew includes four weeks of experienced coaching with a strong emphasis on
team-building and problem-solving, as well as competition on the day.

One of the reasons the Lord Mayor’s Cup has been successful for many years is that rowing is a sport
that can be taken up at any age and any fitness level. It is also low-impact so people who find other
activities difficult often excel.

Traditionally, the regatta has been a fun event with a good sense of humour and prizes for bestdressed
crews. We have a range of races for all levels of experience, awesome prizes and also cater
for those who wish to have a grudge match perhaps within a company.

Some of the feedback from the 2010 Lord Mayor’s Cup is as follows:
Excellent event, well organised and brought with enthusiasm!
All in all it was a fun experience!
We are so glad that we participated. The day was really fun and a great team-building
experience.

Registrations are due on February 11 but we have in the past sold-out before the due date.
