Coxing Workshop – This Sunday – 15 December 10:00am-11:30am
This Sunday we will be holding a coxing masterclass from 10:00am – 11:30am, to be conducted by the club’s experienced and very successful cox Bec Lionnet.
The masterclass is specifically aimed at those with little or no coxing experience (no matter how much rowing experience!) and will cover the following areas:
- General call in the boat and what they mean
- Basic RV rules and general rules on the river
- On water practical experience
If you’re interested in participating in the workshop please email me at [email protected] straight away to secure your place!
We will also need rowers to make up crews for the practical part of the course (though there can be some seat swapping) and would like to have an experienced rower will be in stroke seat of each boat. Volunteers please also let me know – you may yet be volunteered…
This will be a great opportunity to start building up our coxing skills across the club. For any rower who has coxed, you’ll know that it actually helps your rowing as well.
All club members would want to see this workshop strongly supported, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Rutherglen Regatta – Sign up by midday this Friday
The annual Rutherglen regatta is coming up on the weekend of January 11 & 12.
To finalise accommodation arrangements we will need to have a definite idea of numbers attending by 12:00 midday this Friday.
Anyone who is intending on coming must complete the survey at the link set out below. It will take you two minutes.
If you are coming to Rutherglen but wish to make separate accommodation arrangements, please let me know by email sent to [email protected]
If you intend competing you need to notify your coach directly. If you don’t respond to the survey by the deadline, it will be up to you to organise your own accommodation. You may find this difficult, as beds in the area tend to sell out.
(The survey also asks for people to say whether they intend competing at the sprint season regattas the club is supporting, and has a few questions about season goals. Please complete all regatta attendance questions – the rest are optional.)
The survey link is: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VML2RKG
This message has also been sent directly to coaches for distribution to squad members.

Redevelopment now out to Tender
Exciting news – the tender for the boathouse redevelopment was issued on Friday 15 November and closes on 12 December. All going well, we will select a builder and sign contracts before Christmas.
This means building works will start early in the New Year. There will be no interruption to the rowing program until April at the earliest. We will have more details on any interruptions when we have finalised the building works plan with the builder early in the New Year.
Signing the building contract is contingent on DEPI and City of Melbourne signing our sub-lease with MLC and providing Ministerial Approval for the redevelopment. Both have been sought and the departments are aware that we are at tender and they need to provide this before contracts can be signed. We are hopeful that we will be successful in getting this sign-off in time.
A really big thank you to Franziska Locher and Liz Shiel who have put in so many, many hours behind the scenes to get everything ready for the tender. To Stephen Colley from MLC for also putting in much work to ensure we could get to tender and to the architects at FMSA.
