At the end of September, we will be switching over to a new fob system for access to the boathouse and keys will no longer be used. This system gives RRC better security for the building than simply keys.
The committee has formalised the procedure for obtaining a fob as we need to keep records of exactly who has what fobs. The new policy and procedure for obtaining a fob is available on the documents page of the website.
Please note that there is a fee to obtain a fob, covering the club’s cost to purchase fobs and also a security deposit which is refundable when the fob is returned to the club.
If you wish to obtain a fob, please read the policy and complete the form attached to it. Forms need to be returned to the Secretary. Please make your deposit and fee payment directly into the RRC bank account with your name and the word “Fob” in the payment description.
The next committee meeting is 23 September, so please get your form in early if you wish for your application to be considered at this meeting.
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
Help throw out our old furniture this Friday morning
If you have some free time on Friday morning after 8.30 am, please help us clear out our old furniture into the skip!
If those training Thursday night can flex those muscles for an extra workout and carry stuff down ready to go that will be a great help.
NOTE: Thursday/Friday will be an excellent time to claim any items cleared from lockers.
Redevelopment and Access Update 1 September
We will be moving back into the original part of the rowing shed next week which is fantastic.
We will be buying new furniture as part of the project so we need a hand on Friday morning to chuck out all the old tables and chairs and any other junk we have in the boathouse and you will get a sneak preview of how good it is. Time to be confirmed.
Once we are in, it is common to find some things don’t work quite properly. If this is the case, DON’T try to fix it. Everything is under warranty and builders’ guarantee and we will lose that if we try to fix things ourselves. If you find something does not work or does not seem right, please just email me on [email protected]. I can then follow up with the architects and builders.
Please wait until you are notified via this blog page before you start accessing the hall area. It’s tempting but it is still a building site until it is formally handed over!
Works this week:
– Installing the concrete screed and then grass on the deck
– Finishes to new stair
– Finishes to paintwork
– Completion of carpeting
– Defects inspection and rectification process commences
RRC Club Calendar 2014/15
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.

Access Update – No access this Friday 22 August
Please note that there is no access to the boathouse this Friday 22 August at any time as there will be cement screed poured inside the building preventing access.
Other than Friday, there will be no changes to access until after Friday 5 September when we hope to be given a provisional Certificate of Occupancy for the original part of the building.
We expect to have complete access to all areas of the new building in late September after the fire service main has been connected. Unfortunately this is reliant on scheduling by SE Water and cannot be brought forward.
The builders expect to complete works in the next 2 weeks and then defect resolution (a standard process) will occur in the week after, leaving us the boathouse ready for our use after 5 September. There is plenty of work still happening – the plywood ceiling in the new gym and classroom, painting, carpeting, finishing the balcony and pergola and general fitting off plus tidying up the external areas.
Thanks for everyone’s patience while the building works are happening. I think everyone will be wow-ed by the boathouse when we regain access.
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:

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.
