Lost iphone4

Happy new year to all at Richmond Rowing Club.

We had a great night seeing in the new year from our new deck and a big thank you to everyone who made that event a success.

Unfortunately a member misplaced a black iPhone4 with a red film cover on the back at some point in the evening if anyone saw it or knows of its whereabouts please let me know by emailing [email protected] and I will reunite it with the owner.

Thanks

Women's Changerooms

We have had an inquiry about the MLC girls using the RRC changeroom and whether this is the arrangement with MLC.
We have agreed with MLC that the Senior girls will use the RRC changeroom which means that approximately 40 girls will be using it. Any MLC girl may use the toilets in the RRC changeroom as at times there may be large queues in the MLC changeroom with the number of junior girls compared to the number of toilets.

Swim Test

A swim test is being held at at 1pm Sunday 16 November, Kerferd Road Pier, South Melbourne beach. The distance is 50 meters with no time limit in clothing that approximates to what you would row in.
This is a COMPULSORY test for all club rowers so everyone who hasn’t done it yet should make every effort to do so.
Any questions please contact Justin.

Coached Sculling Sessions

For those interested in working on

technical skills in sculling, Gerry Goss will be running sessions on Saturday mornings at 9.45am, regatta schedule permitting.
The sessions are aimed at improving technique, especially in small boats and anyone is welcome.
We will work on specific drills, and video footage will be obtained where possible.

RSVP is essential in order to assign boats, as resources are limited.
If you wish to be added to the email list then let Gerry know ([email protected]) . An email is sent during the week confirming the session and requesting RSVP.
It would be great to see you there!

Access, Security and other Boathouse Information

Not surprisingly, we have been getting some questions about how our new boathouse operates so here is some information to help everyone along. It is not complete as we are yet to have handover of some functions / items in the building. When we do have all the handover complete, we will organise a time to walk members through the building so you get to know first-hand how to operate certain things.
ACCESS
Members can apply for access fobs using the form contained in the access policy on the website. Member fobs give you access into the boathouse through the rear door and also the downstairs front door. They also provide access to the gym and the hall areas inside the boathouse.
When you are down for training or any other everyday matter, please use the rear stairs to access the first floor. This will help us reduce wear and tear on the carpeted hall area and ensure that you do not mistakenly walk into a private function in the hall!
Therefore member fobs do not open the door at the top of the front stairs – think of the front door and stairs now as the ‘function’ entry to the boathouse and the rear door and stairs as the rowing and training entry to the building. For those who have been members for a few years you will recall that this was the arrangement for many years. It helps us keep the front entry stairs and the hall clean.

Airconditioning – IMPORTANT!

Please do NOT use the airconditioning at the boathouse yet. It has not been properly set up and is therefore not working correctly.
Please just open up all the doors and put on the fans for now. We will let you know when the airconditioning has been set up properly and it can be used.
We are following up with the builder as this was meant to be done last week, but the correct person did not turn up to do it. Apologies and thanks for your patience.

RRC Training Program

Please take the time to have a look at this presentation of the RRC training plan for the current head racing season. Please contact Simon Crunden if you have any questions.
Can I remind you all to check the calendar on the website for details of upcoming regattas and events and the all important boat loading that comes before a regatta. For new members we expect anyone competing in a regatta to help with boat loading and unloading otherwise your equipment might not make it to the start of your race. For example boat loading for Head of the Goulburn will be at 6pm this Friday. Don’t forget your spanners!

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!
