The Lord Mayor's Cup is a competitive corporate rowing regatta on the Swan River, which is the only rowing regatta held in Perth's central business district. The 22nd Lord Mayor's Cup (yes, we've been at this for more than two decades) was held on March 27th 2011 - for photos of the regatta click here.

Up to 40 corporate crews undergo enough training to be able to compete over 500m during a one-day regatta. The regatta has proven to be a lot of fun and the whole experience is a great team-building exercise.

Rowers not only competed in the relevant grade (male, female, novice and mixed) but had the opportunity to pit their strength against others in one-on-one dry racing on rowing machines.

The prizes are great, the event is fun and ultimately it goes towards supporting Western Australia's longest-standing competitive rowing club.

The West Australian Rowing Club (aka Westies) is proud to be able to share the camaraderie and tradition of rowing with the wider community, in particular those companies that participate in the Lord Mayor’s Cup Corporate Rowing Regatta. Many companies use this event as a regular component of their Staff Well-being programmes and enter multiple crews (and the competition between them is often fierce!). It is not uncommon for participants to ‘catch the bug’ and continue rowing at Westies.

Cheers,
The 2012 LMC Team
