Fun Sunday at Rowing

This week we have 38 signed up for rowing and 18 for club races.
How does club races work?
Immediately after our normal 10am coached session, you will be sent out in crews that have been put through the ‘sorting hat’
It is a 250 metre sprint from the judges box, to the front of our club house. We anticipate it to be over within half an hour and there is bling for the winners.
If you haven’t signed up yet, go for it. It’s a very quick splash of fun!…
Please dress in your Tiger Zootie on Sunday, or black and gold if your order hasn’t come in as yet.
We want to get some whole club black and gold pics

Redevelopment Update 6 August

Access continues to be restricted – members enter through the RRC bay and up the back stairs and may only access the changerooms. Thanks to everyone for observing the safety requirements of having building works ongoing while we use the building. It remains very important that no-one enters the building site section of the building.
The building is starting to look more like the finished article but there is still lots of work going on inside to get it finished off. The builders are still about 5 days behind schedule meaning that completion will be end of August. However, there are some external works that will be completed after this date as we have to replace the fire service main. This requires road excavation and is expected to be done in late September.
We expect to have power back after 14 August. Please note there will be no power at the boathouse on 13 August while the new power connection is made. Continue reading “Redevelopment Update 6 August”

Redevelopment and access update

We are pleased that we will have access to the changerooms again commencing this Thursday 24 July. The boathouse is still a building site so please note the following arrangements:
– The site will be opened by authorised persons only – Barry and Justin – as this requires access through the building site
– Entry for other members is through the roller doors into the boat bays
– To access the changerooms, go through the boat bay, up the back stairs
– Please leave via the boat bays and the authorised person will lock up
– Please do not attempt to access any other parts of the boathouse. The builder will hoard off and put up notices, but there will be doors that must not be entered by members.
– There may be restrictions on power and hot water. We are confirming these with the builder and will let you know. If so, we will request to continue access to Mercantile changerooms until we have full power and water back.
It is great that we will have the changerooms back ready for our season launch on Sunday morning. We look forward to seeing lots of people down.

New Season – Training changes as of Sunday 27 July

The club’s new training season officially starts this coming Sunday. Please read this post to find out what is happening. As you will have seen from previous posts, the committee and a bunch of volunteers have been working hard to make this coming season a good one for the club in every sense.
We will launch the season plans as part of the AGM this Saturday. Be there for more info. Straight after the AGM, there will be the first coaches meeting for the season to discuss the plans from the coaches’ perspective generally, and to go through the details for the first few weeks.
There will be a few changes from what we’ve been doing up to now, and the new routine should shake you out of winter’s torpor and maybe even a few bad habits.
As of this Sunday, weekly training will be: Continue reading “New Season – Training changes as of Sunday 27 July”

Redevelopment and access update

Massive thanks to everyone who helped out this morning and congratulations on a smooth operation to fit everything back into the RRC bay. We continue to have access to most of our fleet so people can continue to row when the shed is open as advised previously.
Can I ask people to take  extra special care if using the Rod Henley or Lucy Crunden which have been returned to the top rack of the East wall. Please be aware due to the new eye beam at the front of the shed the clearance height to get the Rod Henley down is quite small so take note.
Also a reminder that we still require people to complete the sign in/out book when taking a boat from the shed. This is now located on the steps on the left hand side of the shed near the eights.
Great job again everyone today and hope to see you all down at the sheds again soon, with the building work making great progress it won’t be long until we are fully functional in a beautiful boathouse.
