I am very pleased to be able to share with you the 2014/15 season calendar for RRC. I encourage you all to use this as a guide to help plan the upcoming rowing year and mark those all important dates in your diaries.
I can not promise there won’t be any alterations/ammendments over the course of 11 months but the committee has worked hard to try to lock in the important dates so you all have a good knowledge of what we have to look forward to this year. With the number of active rowers we are seeing at training currently I am feeling very confident that we will have a great year.
Can I just remind/advise you all to check the events listings on the website and the online, interactive club calendar throughout the year which does include more details regarding events and will be kept updated.
Also if anyone has ideas about more events rowing, social or fundraising or would like to offer themselves as a volunteer to organise or help co-ordinate any of these events please let me know, it would be greatly appreciated .
So download the calendar now and stick it on your wall.

Postponement of coxing masterclass
I am sorry to inform you that we will have to postpone next weekends (Sunday 23rd August) coxing masterclass. We unfortunately still do not have access to the upstairs central area of the clubhouse while the builders put the finishing touches to the redevelopment and so we have decided to postpone for a later date.
When a new date and time is confirmed we will inform you all.
In the mean time if you are interested in learning more about coxing please consider attending the upcoming Rowing Victoria coxing workshops:
Beginning and Introduction to Coxing: Tuesday 9th September from 4.30pm – 6.00pm at Yarra Yarra Rowing Club, this course is FREE!!!
Race Ready Coxswains (must be an accredited coxswain): Thursday 11th September from 4.30pm – 6.00pm at Yarra Yarra Rowing Club, this course is also FREE!!!
World Rowing Masters Regatta Ballarat, October 9-12 2014
Entries for the World Masters Rowing Regatta close this weekend, so can you confirm ASAP if you want to race and which days you are available.RRC intends to go up for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday although if you can only race on one or a combination of those days please make that clear.
Sunday racing is the fun day with mixed races.
Race seat fees are a slightly steep $50 each, so the plan is to do a maximum of four races each, please clarify if you are limited to less than that. Just to confirm you will need to arrange your own accommodation if you want to stay in Ballarat. In addition there will be a small cost for the trailer to get the boats to and from Ballarat, approx. $10.
Could you please email [email protected] by Thursday 14 August to confirm if you are keen to race and any preferences for events, such as sweep/scull, doubles fours eights etc. We will try our best to meet your preferences dependent on the number of sign ups we have.
