Update: Due to the overwhelming interesting from people wishing to receive a link to the footage. What I'll do is post the links in the information area above when they are ready. You will be able to download them directly from there. Thank you to everyone showing an interest and support the clear need to have footage of these events.

Hi Tim, just saw your post on KZbin about not being allowed to share video footage of the GPS Schoolboys 2019 Head of River publicly. As a long time member of the GPS Rowing Community I'd like to remind the 'powers that be' of a few home truths: 1. You are a volunteer and a rowing parent yourself. You don't spend countless hours at the regatta and then late nights editing footage for the money (there is none). You do it for the love of it, and the love of rowing. 2. You provide a fantastic free service to the GPS Rowing community. Not every parent can attend every regatta. We have boarders rowing who's parents are in Central Qld and your service is a 'lifeline' to watching their sons. Most of us have several children doing other sports, so pairing off early on a Saturday morning to go to different sports is the norm. Your service bridges that gap. 3. As far as I'm aware Qld Rowing provide NO video coverage of GPS Regatta events. So I can't see any conflict. 4. If there are Privacy concerns. Then they should state this. All we can hear in the background is the Public Address system coming from the Umpires marquee. You don't publish individual names of rowers. However these details are easily searchable on the Rowing Qld website. So why is a free and much valued service to the Qld GPS Rowing Community being restricted? I encourage all members of the Qld GPS rowing community to voice their concerns and right the wrong here!

You’ve been a god send mate, loved watching your videos after every regatta. Thanks for all the hard work these last few years. Would love to see the first 8 video given the incredibly close finishes

Not sure what the problem could be with posting the race videos, who is it hurting? Tim has been posting the race videos for 3-4 years now, why the sudden decision by the GPS to stop this occurring? Many people enjoy watching the boys races on KZbin, especially parents that could not attend, this includes parents with boys who board at the various GPS schools and find it very difficult to get to Wyaralong to watch it live. GPS get your act together, let Tim post the races from the Head of River 2019.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and support. I will continue to work towards posting these races. What I will also do over the next couple of days is make the footage available on Dropbox. If anyone is interested in obtaining the video file of an age group races, just send me an email with the name of the age groups you wish to download and I'll send you the link/s. Email: [e-mail]
