2025 DVBC Winterish Spectacular Information

An event takes a lot of co-operation from many people but especially NSW APBA Clubs and their volunteers.  

Dargle Valley Boat Club doesnt exist without the support of those clubs, especially Upper Hawkesbury for without them there wouldnt have been a race meeting at Dargle since we started racing here in 1992!  And again this year we appreciate the support from UHPBC, the Vintage and Veteran Club, Raymond Terrace, St George, AFPGP,  Northern Rivers and the NSW APBA, no support or help from these Clubs and Officials, no race meeting!

The entry numbers required by Saturday Saturday 23rd August cut off for the event to proceed has been met!  The Safety Levy charged to competitors is to cover the cost of the Ambulance, paramedics and divers for the two days, its a $10,00  spend to have our competitors looked after!

Also the weather forecast needs to be favourable in the week leading up to and including race weekend for the event to proceed and any decision to be made to postpone or cancel the will be made by no later than 5pm Sunday 24th August!

Entry forms  are below and all the APBA Championship entries needed to be in the hands of the NSW APBA by Sunday 17th August and there needed to be 4 confirmed entries by the 17th August for that Championship to be run (all classes have the required 4 entries except for the Griffith Boat Club Trophy, which will not be run) and Dargle entries close on Saturday 23rd August.

DVBC Entry Form is for all  non APBA Championship races!
