The provisional date for the event - which is subject to confirmation - is SATURDAY, 10th JUNE, 2000. The format is expected to be similar to last year with the Ball starting at around 7.00pm and finishing around 2.00am - with an extensive buffet served from around 8.15pm, music and dancing from a live band, and a Disco. The cost, which has not yet been finally fixed, will be similar to last year at around £26 each. As well as being an excellent evening with a growing reputation the Ball has been a major fund-raiser for the Club and has played a major part in providing the funds for our new facilities - which we are keen to improve further.

ROWING FEES FOR 2000. The Rowing Sub-Committee, endorsed by the Club’s Main Committee, have decided that there will be a small increase in the Racing & Travel fees for this season as follows:-
Cadet is Under 19 on 1 /9/00. Fees are based on the assumption that Sponsorship from Wightlink continues and that there are no increases in H& D Entry Fees
Ergo Challenge On Good Friday - 21st April - as part of our ongoing fund raising activities for the Club and for Charity we will once again be taking on the Wightlink Ergo Challenge - where we "row" on an Ergo onboard a Wightlink Car Ferry travelling across the Solent for around ten hours - and see if we can complete more miles than the ferry. Passengers usually make a generous contribution - and further funds are raised via sponsorship - rowing members who have not yet received a form will find one enclosed. Stef Hickman will be co-ordinating the teams and will be in touch with you - rowers and collectors are required. Contact Steph on 613077. TRAINING AT THE CLUBHOUSE. The Rowing Sub Committee has agreed the following Squad Training Slots at the Clubhouse. While other members are welcome to train during these periods preference on space and use of equipment i.e.. weight training facilities and Ergos must be given to the designated Squad. The training slots will be subject to review at future Rowing Sub Committee Meetings.
Unallocated slots - including Thursday evening are available to everyone on a first come first serve basis. Monday after 7.30pm preference will be given to Boat maintenance operations and therefore space may be severely restricted. There may also be other occasions when the area will be required for Boat Maintenance - as much notice as possible will be given. Applications for available slots for specific squads should be made to the Rowing Sub Committee via the Rowing Captain or Squad Coach. BOAT MAINTENANCE. Boat Maintenance is underway - and has been for some months. The main effort takes place on Monday evening from around 7.00pm - but some crews will be given selected tasks - which can be undertaken at a time suitable to them - but the work must be done and we do not have very long. To facilitate this from Monday, 14th February, after 7.30pm Boat Maintenance will have priority over Land Training - until work on the Coastal boats is complete. Two Sunday Boat Maintenance Sessions will also be held - Sunday, 12th March and Sunday, 19th March - from 11.00am. Competitive members will be expected to attend at least part of these sessions. Further details from Chris Jenkins, Vice Captain.
NEW CLUB EQUIPMENT. A new plastic Coastal four is well under way at Plastechnol - a new Island firm - under the watchful eye of Nick Salter who has been co-ordinating this project. The plastic shell will soon be delivered to the Club where will undertake the final fitting out - and hopefully have the boat ready for the Coastal season. A new double, to replace the boat written-off is last year is also underway - at boat builders Burgeshell - and should be delivered within the next month. NEW RULES FOR RACING. A BRIEFING.A briefing and discussion on the new and amended Hants & Dorset ARA Regatta Rules and Rules for Boat racing - and the code of practice for Oarsman, Sculler, coxswain - and Racing Officials - will be take place at the Club on Sunday, 26th March at 7.00pm - the briefing to be given by Hants & Dorset Secretary and Racing Official - Steve Bull. This will be your opportunity to learn of the important changes being introduced and to question a Racing Official on aspects of the Rules - a rare opportunity - don’t miss it! WINTER LAND TRAINING.
