Ryde Rowing Club Annual Regatta is attended by over 700 competitors and
spectators. In addition to the main event sponsors, the Club is giving an
opportunity for members & friends who may have their own business to place a
small add in the Regatta Programme. The advertisements, measuring about 2” x 1”,
will be simple in format with no pictures or complicated graphics, have a
maximum of 20 words and located in the inside pages of the Regatta Programme. In
addition the advertiser will receive publicity throughout the day over the
Regatta PA system, have a mention on the Regatta interactive display in the
Clubhouse with enlarged versions of the advert also on display. In exchange we
are hoping that advertisers would be prepared to contribute £20 to the Regatta
Fund.

Thank you for your support.
Work is now well underway with the construction of the New Balcony
extension to the eastern aspect of the clubhouse opening up views across
Appley Park. It is hoped that completion will be in the late spring.
This will be an invaluable addition to Club facilities. Our grateful thanks
have been extended to a very generous benefactor to whom the Club is sincerely
indebted and to Club members for their additional donations. Thanks to this
generosity the project will be entirely funded with the Club having to incur no
additional debt.
Following a recent committee meeting the decision has been made to install a
new and much improved ventilation system in the main clubhouse bar. This will
greatly improve the comfort of both members and visitors

FEBRUARY, 2005. NEWS FOR ROWING MEMBERS - FROM THE ROWING SUB COMMITTEE.
WINTER ACTIVITIES.
Since the end of the 2004 Hants & Dorset Season the Club has competed in a
number of winter Head Races - in Southampton and further afield in Oxford - and
picked up a few head pennants. The Junior section has also been actively
involved in Wessex Regional Rowing Council Junior activities - training days and
selection trials for the Wessex team for the Junior Inter Regionals at
Nottingham in April. Rachael Redhead, our Rowing Community Sports Coach has also
been very active having set up two school links with Mayfield and Bishop Lovett
C of E Middle Schools that has bought in a number of new members. Supported for
the crossing by WIGHTlink she is on the Island most Mondays - taking an after
school club for the Mayfield and Bishop Lovett students, based at the Club - and
then a session for some of the existing Club Juniors. The frustration with this
project has been the rejected grant applications for vital indoor rowers for the
schools - Rachael having to rely on the Clubs own equipment at the moment. The
rejected application are all the more frustrating as Southampton based schools
have been successful with similar applications.
ROWING MEETING AND WORK DAY.
A meeting of all active Oarsmen/Women, intending to compete this season will
take place on SUNDAY, 6th MARCH at 9.30am at the Clubhouse. This will be
followed by a work session around the Clubhouse to tidy-up the boathouse and
training area before the start of the new season. All active oarsman/women are
expected to attend. Also please note that the Clubs General Committee have
expressed their concern about the way the boathouse/training area and changing
rooms are left on occasions. Please ensure you put away the weights after use -
and throw your rubbish - empty cups, drinking bottles etc.. in the appropriate
bins and keep the changing rooms tidy.
Capsize Drill & Swim Test.
SUNDAY, 27th FEBRUARY. 5.00pm to 8.00pm. At the WATERSIDE POOL by the Canoe
Lake. MEET AT CLUB AT 5.00pm for BRIEFING. ANY ROWING/CADET MEMBER WHO HAS NOT
CARRIED OUT THE

Late entries. Late entry of £5.50 per seat will be paid for by the crew.
Doubling-up. Individuals or crews who want to "double-up", as opposed to being
requested or directed to "double-up", will make a contribution of £3 towards
each additional entry fee. i.e. individuals or crews are entitled to an entry in
one event as part of their rowing fee but have to make a contribution to any
additional races they wish to enter. Mixed/Charity races - paid for by the
competing crew. Rowing fees will be charged at all Regatta's except Ryde,
Minibus transport is charged at all Regattas except Ryde, Shanklin and Newport.
Some "special" events may have an increased rowing fee and Minibus Transport fee

South coast Championships, the National Championships, the Great River Race.
All the above can be adjusted/waived at the discretion of the Rowing
Captain/Rowing Sub Committee.
As agreed at the Rowing Subcommittee Meeting of 30/1/2005.
NEW BOAT TRAILER.
The Rowing Sub Committee is pleased to be able to advise the members that we
have ordered a new boat trailer to replace our existing ageing and fast
deteriorating unit. The new Trailer, supplied by specialist builders Arthur
deGraff should be with us by the end of February. It is a lighter unit, which
will be easier to handle and load/unload - but capable of carrying more boats
(up to six fours as well as three single sculls) and meets the latest legal and
safety requirements. The unit has adjustable racks, a lockable front box,
bicycle rack and security devices. We are indebted to Becky Dawson and to the
memory of her late husband, former club oarsman, Richard in who’s memory she
made a substantial donation - and to those Club members who have made donations
to the project. - and to the Clubs Committee who agreed the balance of the
funding - the trailer costing just short of £5,000. In total.
The Club is also seeking grant aid towards some additional sculling boats - fine
and training - which we hope to be able to purchase later in the year.
CLUB KIT.
It is hoped to have items of Club Kit on display at the Rowers Meeting when
orders will be take - splash tops, Racing Vests, one-piece etc.. New members
intending to compete are reminded that as a minimum they must purchase a Club
Racing Singlet - which cost £18. We hope to generate enough interest to order
Club splash tops (minimum order six) which cost around £60.
CLUB REGATTA. SUNDAY 5th JUNE.
The Club Regatta takes place a little later than usual this year - on SUNDAY,
5th JUNE - and has an early start - around 9.15am. This will make setting-up the
Regatta even more critical - and as usual much of the setting-up will take place
on the Friday before - 3rd June. So if you can free-up some time on that day to
help it would be most appreciated.
