1976 National Championships - Penrith NSW

1976 Programme Cover
1976 Programme Cover

This was the first combined Championships for both men and women for many years. The regatta conducted both Championship and non-Championship events.

Almost continuous rain fell during the first week of March resulting in severe flooding of the Nepean River and which almost caused the regatta to be postponed or conducted elsewhere. However the rain abated in time for the regatta to commence and for the river to lower. However there was a residual river stream and a rush for organisers to get the course perpared in time.
