Cadets will continue to pay half price in the Minibus.BRITISH INDOOR ROWING CHAMPIONSHIPS.Four members took part in the British Indoor Rowing Championships -. Russell Page came 7th in the 40 - 44 lightweight men’s category with a personal best time of 6.42.7. Tanzie Page, competing in the 40 - 44 Heavy weight women’s category came ninth in personal best time of 7.59.9.

Since the last Rowing Bulletin the Club has only competed at one rowing event - the Hampton Junior Small Boats HORR - 3 doubles, a pair and a sculler competed - with mixed results. NEW KIT.A new supplier of racing kit is too be given a trial with samples available to view - including - one piece at £35, Vests at £18 to £20, long sleeved plain white tops - £24. See Nick Salter to view samples and order. Development. Funding for a new River Boat - a presentation has been made to a potential new sponsor with the initial response favourable. The Stelph Coastal Boat - this has been a disappointment with little progress to date - "Stelph" have allegedly been very busy and have not yet been able to start on the Coastal Boat from our mould. Project Oarsome - The ARA continue to put pressure on us to "sign-up" but the commitment required from the Club is a concern. However we continue to pursue "funding" opportunities through Ryde SRB and are making an initial approach to the target schools. Awards For All. A grant application is about to be made - under the National Lottery Awards for All scheme - for funding for coach development, a new trailer for the Launch, a new training boat and another Concept2 Ergo. COACH DEVELOPMENT. The Club will host an ARA IA course in the Autumn for the Wessex Regional Rowing Council - so this will be an excellent opportunity for any member wishing to take a coaching qualification. We also hope to stage an RYA2 Launch users course in late Feb/early March and a First Aid course later in the year. While there will be a cost to those who take the course we hope the Club will be able to cover most of the fees involved in return for a commitment to coach at the Club. A number of names have already been put forward - any others to Steve Bull (01983 566481. steve@scbull.freeserve.co.uk) as soon as possible. Steve Bull - for the Rowing Sub Committee. February, 2002. |
