The 2022 National County Championships, organised by the Cornish Pilot Gig Association and sponsored by Korev will be held at the Mount Batten Centre, Plymouth, this weekend.
Unlike regular gig rowing regattas and championship fixtures, where rowers compete for their clubs, rowers will instead represent their county sides.
County crews from Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Bristol and the East (a combination effort from our eastern counties) will compete for the title of County Champions across a range of age categories.
Junior races will take place on Saturday 15th October. The categories will include: U15, U16, U17 and U18.
Adult races will take place on Sunday 16th October. The categories will include: U25, Open, Vets and Super Vets.
Weather permitting, the event will be live streamed by the GigRower StreamTeam via https://www.facebook.com/gigrower.
Racing will start at 10.30am.
Plymouth Waterfront Partnership is the Business Improvement District for the Plymouth Waterfront. They have generously provided financial support for this weekend’s event for safety and marshalling.
Please submit any enquiries regarding the event to membership@cpga.co.uk .
