At the post-race review meeting on Sunday, the committee reviewed the financial position of the race and it was decided that a refund of 50% of the entry fee would be made for each crew entered. That is £25.
This is a fairly large administrative task and we ask clubs to be patient whilst we process all the cheques. We are sorry but we will only be issuing one cheque per club. We are aware that some clubs made different payment arrangements for each crew entered, but this is going to be a fairly considerable task without needing to establish who needs to be paid for each individual crew. The HOR4s apologises for any inconvenience caused and asks for your understanding.
As a default, cheques will be sent to your Club Treasurer at the address shown in the Rowing Almanack. If you send us your club bank details by email we will make payment through internet banking and email you details of the repayment. This will reduce the number of cheques we have to issue and is likely to speed up the repayment process.
Refunds for composite crews will be made to the club that made the entry.
Apart from the ARA refunding the OARA administration fee there was very little saving from the cancellation of the race. This refund is only possible because since cancellation insurance became too expensive, the committee has put aside a sum out of the entry fees each year into a cancellation reserve and it is from this reserve that the refund is largely being funded. If the race is cancelled again next year it is unlikely the committee will have any funds to make a refund.
