We’re currently seeking volunteers for two major upcoming events this summer. The 1K Classic will take place at Lough Rinn on the 28th and 29th of June. The Irish Rowing Championships will be held at the National Rowing Centre from the 11th to the 13th of July.
These events are the highlight of the domestic rowing season and are entirely volunteer-led and delivered. To ensure they run smoothly and to the high standards our athletes deserve, we need your help, where additional support from clubs is essential.
Launch Drivers
To ensure safety, fair racing and marshalling we need experienced launch drivers who are happy to put themselves into this high-octane racing environment.
Shifts: Morning & Afternoon
Marshals
Control access to the gates into the compound/slip area – only rowers and coaches allowed within the rowing compound no spectators allowed.
Shifts: Morning & Afternoon
Event Doctor
While an ambulance and paramedics will be on-site for the duration of the event, we require a doctor on call in case we need to sign off on a crew change after a heat has been raced.
Shifts: Morning & Afternoon
These are unpaid volunteer positions but each volunteer will be provided with meals throughout the event and will also receive a souvenir polo-shirt.
If you wish to volunteer for one of the positions, or require any additional details, please contact champs-vm@rowingireland.ie
