RRC Redevelopment Celebration

The official opening of the newly redeveloped Richmond Rowing Club was celebrated in style on Sunday 5th October. Looking back on everything that lead to the success of the day I’m so proud of all we have been able to achieve. It has been an amazing effort by a very large team of people to really make our vision of a great boathouse a reality.

New Clubhouse

We were joined by over 150 people to finally open the new section of the boathouse and with the sun shining down it was clear to see everyone was desperate to get out onto our new deck and take in the 180° views of the city. I want to t

A Big Weekend for RRC

We have an action packed weekend ahead of us at RRC.
For those free on Saturday we are calling for helpers from 10am to help with some final cleaning and organising of the boathouse please contact [email protected] if you think you can help out. At 12pm we have session 3 of the current LTR course, help is always greatly appreciated for that too so please contact [email protected] if you are willing and able.
Then comes Sunday – when the clocks will have changed for daylight savings so don’t forget! There is early morning training for some and then 6 RRC crews (listed below) racing in the Yarra Masters Head Event from the island to Princes Bridge. Everyone involved needs to be at the clubhouse by 8.30am for a race briefing at 9am and ready to push off the landing in your zooties at 9.10am. All crews need to row up to the start and then will be marshalled to race back down the river (see the draft draw below). Everyone involved should have received and paid their invoice for seat fees but if not please contact [email protected] .
Then last but by no means least we have the opening of the redeveloped boathouse. Families and friends of RRC are all welcome, the bar will be open and hopefully the sun will be shining as we celebrate and enjoy the expansion of our clubhouse. It’s definitely and event not to be missed but if you can’t join us on the day to celebrate please consider contributing to our ‘boathouse warming’ with a gift from our online registry (password is: 1863).
Looking forward to seeing you all and celebrating a great weekend!

Boat 'house-warming' this weekend

Can you believe it? The last works are now underway at the boathouse to complete the redevelopment, with the builders working on the fire hydrant this morning meaning extra care needs to be taken when accessing the RRC bay. It really is a hive of activity there currently.
We now need to make the final preparations to be ready for the grand opening next Sunday 5th October. If anyone is available and would like to help next Saturday between 10 and 12 we would appreciate some help with a bit of cleaning and organising a few things. With many hands it really shouldn’t take too long.

Club Housewarming Pressies
Finally, are you wondering what you should bring to the party as a “pressie” to mark this momentous occasion? Then we have some great ideas for you at our online gift registry.
 It’s password protected: 1863.
 It’s available for friends of Richmond Rowing Club to contribute something if they chose to help with the ‘boat house warming’ and to celebrate the achievement of our exciting redevelopment project.
I look forward to seeing many of you next weekend for the celebration.

BOAT TRAINING – September 2014

SESSION BY SESSION

Week 8 – Session 1
 GENERAL COMMENT FOR CREWS:

  • For the past three weeks we have concentrated on individual externals – this week we continue but look at each of these in the one session
  • We wish to look at OVERALL boat movement
  • We still wish to avoid RUSHED, VIOLENT, SUDDEN movements of hands and bodies BUT most importantly we want the following:

–       Blade traveling at constant depth below the water
–       Blade traveling at constant height above the water
–       Blade traveling at a speed through the water greater than the boat’s speed
–       Blade traveling at a speed above the water equal to the speed of the boat
–       Blade entering the water with even minor splash to front and back
–       Blade exiting the water cleanly without being enveloped by puddle

Camp session plans

Take a look at the below schedule for camp to see just what our coaches have in store for you this weekend!
[wpfilebase tag=fileurl path=’2014 RRC Nagambi Camp 01.xlsx’ linktext=’2014 RRC Nagambie Camp Plan’ /]
 
There are many variables to consider when trying to plan for a weekend with more than 40 rowers so please be prepared to be flexible. This guide is to give you an idea of what to expect and times you will be required at the regatta centre (remember it’s a 5-10min walk from the cabins to the boats).

Only a few days until camp….

I hope everyone is looking forward to a fun filled weekend at Nagambie, the coaches and committee have been hard at work planning everything, please let the secretary know if you have not received an email detailing your cabin and travel arrangements.
For those who have not been on a Richmond training camp before or who have not been to Nagambie make sure you take a look at the briefing document that has been together detailing what you need to bring.
Also don’t forget that for an away camp to happen we need to get the boats derigged, on the trailer and up to Nagambie, so Thursday’s nights normal training session will be boat loading at the clubhouse. If you want boats to row please try to attend and bring your spanners 🙂

Unclaimed property will be removed Monday 15th September

Just a quick note to everyone to say you may have noticed some bags of lost property appearing in the changing room this weekend.
Please note this is all the unclaimed property from the locker room clear-out before the redevelopment began. You have ONE WEEK to reclaim anything that belongs to you or we will be disposing of/or passing on to a charity shop unwanted items.
You have until the end of next weekend, so make sure you check before camp.
Thanks
