Geelong Winter Series: Entertainment Challenge

While the Winter Series is mainly intended as an excuse to keep your rowing going over the long dark winter months, we believe it should deliver more. Much MUCH more!

You would be aware we look to challenge specific skills from time to time and the after party provides an opportunity to test the rowing skill of: Entertainment. This skill so oft’ overlooked in traditional training programs, much to the detriment of your rowing!

So, you are invited to form a group and perform a short, entertaining act for the assemblage at the presentations following the Sculler’s Head of the Barwon. The type of act you may present is limited only by regard for the sensibilities of the onlookers, so let your creative urges run free and see what you can do!

Sing ? Dance? Tell a joke? Perform a magic trick? Play a musical instrument? Feats of physical prowess? It is entirely up to you.

There is no need to “enter” as such – jut come prepared and join in the fun. There is a prize for the best!
