Afternoon Rowers, Sorry for the late email.
My watch isn’t waterproof and I spent the day doing laps in a wading pool outside Mike’s house then without a successful sighting of Mike I took the pool on the tram to Justin’s place and tried outside his til dark.
So this afternoon I’m off to Clarke rubber to see if I can swap my wading pool for some floaties. So far my only offer to watch me swim is Simon (man not boat) who cannot access me but could do with a laugh.

Camp this Weekend
Camp people and others attending camp need to read Simon’s info pack and make sure that they don’t miss the train. Boat loading is this Wed night. Train on Thursday night.
Time Trials
Well done to the rowers and the kitchen crew it was impressive on all fronts. The men’s eight time was hotter than a buccaneers pistol, as is the bloke in the stroke seat….Woof!
Learn to Row
This starts 4th October 11:45am and runs for four weeks on consecutive Sundays.
Please get in touch with Justin if;
1. You would like to coach LTR. It’s challenging but a lot of fun. I believe $25 is paid for your race fee account for each session coached.
2. You have friends who would like to try rowing.
3. You have friends who have e-mailed the club about LTR but have not yet received a response.
4. You just feel like a chat.
5. You are keen to know how he is faring in WA shooting camels.
If you are interested I recommend emailing or calling Justin over swimming in a paddle pool outside his place seems to have had little success. [email protected] 0425 813929
Educational Viewing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKigH-j4vHQ&feature=related
The above is a link to a movie Nicole made of me earlier in my winter full body Zootie (which she made for me in foil, something she was thinking of rolling out for the rest of the club, latter parts of this video which we didn’t upload to u-tube show me magnetised to the erg so we didn’t proceed with this particular prototype). Anyway this may help some of you tick tock rowers (who may well have been metronomes in past lives and for those less musical no I am not referring to inner city garden ornaments)
Possible New Arrival
Yes that’s right! It’s a buddy for Simon Crunden (boat not man) and John Latham (boat not man). The B team crash test dummies tried out a new tub four last week, and came within a bee’s d*ck of annihilating the mens 8. Something previously not possible in the John Latham (boat not man) unless it was hooked up to a 747 jet engine. It’s up to all of us ‘cool’ tub rowers to lean on Martin to snap the ‘Orlando’ up for us. Then we’ll just flog another hundred or more boxes of freddos to help us put some racing stripes on him.

Afternoon Rowers,
Wow the invites I’ve had for dinner dates since I sent out my photo last week have to be seen to be believed, I’m sneezing as I write this as I’ve just answered the door to yet another bunch of roses. I only hope I’m fortunate enough for the pic to find its way onto face book and into the hands of devastated ex’s and successful high school peers.
Word is out that best dressed at the MJ party went to JL, who dressed as a Zombie. I have to be clear here that I mean MAN NOT BOAT, as the JL boat is also white, slow, has about as many winning medals as your average Zombie and generally lives life at a ghoulish /sluggish pace, best way to tell which is which (Zombie or boat) is to of course weigh them.
Essendon Saltwater Regatta
We’re extremely concerned that Joe has now tasted success (other than in a row over…) and we’ll be forced to use our legs past the first 100 metres of our next race. Until now, winning was something the crews in the distance did. Joe won with the boys and the girls crew. Proving that we can no longer blame her……….. Hmm, back to blaming the boat then.
Such success means we can have a couple of cheap stabs at the WMG mixed quad and current Australian Champions (that is World Masters Games, not WWF which is obviously wrestling or saving whales, neither of which we are involved in at this present stage) learnt why you should have steering on a boat during the saltwater challenge after rowing every where except Highpoint to check out the sales; Simon Crunden (man not boat) managed to go past Poyntons for the first time ever without having to spend $200 on plants for the garden, however the Australian Champions couldn’t resist and tried hard to check out all the plants down the course as well as at Poyntons sale.
THE BIG THING ON THIS WEEKEND IS THE AROUND THE ISLAND TIME TRIAL.
All rowers need to be at club at 9:45 am for 10 am on water. Hopefully, we can boat 3 8s and 3 4s like last time.
Derek’s HoTY 8 is catering. So some HOT and YUM food coming our way.
We will need someone to do the timing (otherwise it’s a row around the island, not a time trial) and someone to marshal the boats. Apparently JL as well as having a boat and a Zombie outfit, has a stopwatch so we may have a volunteer (term loosely used) here.
We’ll be a few short as some of us rowing WMG will be at Carrum! Ah the prestige…Ok so it doesn’t have the allure of the Nile, and doesn’t exactly scream World, but I guess we’ve got to start somewhere.
THE OTHER BIG THING COMING UP – IS CAMP!  As part of camp festivities we will be running a members “all about you” trivia.  Simon will send out a link on Survey Monkey were members can include a couple of interesting facts about themselves from which we can make up questions. (You don’t have to be at camp – to put facts in.)
e.g.  How does Nicole Start the day on a Monday morning A) a cup of tea and a box of freddos, B) A keg of Mountain Goat Ale and a box of Freddos, C) she brings a healthy nutritious breakfast, D) She forgets her breakfast and her wallet and has a tin of MLC’s milo followed by a bottle of tomato sauce.
WARNING
If Mike, EMMA and JUSTIN haven’t seen you swim and you haven’t done your multi choice test you will look like a git in the water in October. Join Sandra and I in our floaties…… We’ll be doing our best to make them cool. I think I might try putting a ribbon in my hair, schoolgirl style, yellow of course, it’s important to match. Then I may look like a toddler taken out by their parents for a paddle…. I hope I don’t get chaffing under my arms, I must remember some vaseline.

Hi Rowers,
Sorry this is a bit late, Nicole had her bi-annual appointment with the industrial beautician to get the calluses off her hands which coincides with my biannual search of the Docklands for Richmond caps which have blown off during training which I then use one of my black markers to re-colour before popping them back into our wardrobe and bon appetite.
Some New Strategies Nicole and Annalise have been visiting JK in Darwin and checking out her progress with the DORC’s. Some initiatives which I believe they are looking at implementing including jumping from the bank into the boat (a good stretching exercise which history shows began at a similar time to the DORC Para Olympic rowing team in 1896 when there were frequent crocodile visitors in The Darra) as well has feathering quite high, at least 2 metres off the water, allowing the air to run smoothly under the oar and encouraging a strong tap down, this coincided with the introduction of stainless steel oars in 1940 due to some other issues with the wildlife up there.
Out and About
Saltwater regatta on this weekend – we have 6 crews entered! Which is pretty cool – for a rather low key event. What do these people all have in common? They love washing boats, it’s not called Salt Water for nothing.
Time Trials
Next time trial is in 2 weeks time on Sunday Sept 20th. Last time we had 3 eights and 3 fours entered and I expect to match if not beat it. Derek’s HoTY 8 is on brunch duty – the standard of food is very high. So good luck to them. I’d expect something HOT and Y(ellow)
Ergos – Aug Ergos – do them! I’ll try to replace the handle on ‘my’ ergo asap, they just don’t make em like they used to. Those who have been doing them have posted consistent improvements each month – which is awesome. Flog yourself silly – shorts are in this summer Dry land training on Tuesday nights has been rather quiet – so come down for ergos and runs to build you fitness base for HoTY.
Let’s Party Michael Jackson Party THIS FRIDAY! Fun times!
Lets go Swimming Well done to the swimmers last weekend, you’re great grannies are very proud, didn’t you guys blend with the Albert Park Mercedes / latte crowd, leaping in the pool with all your gear on.

PANS (PA to Nicole Studka, previously PA to JK until she was transferred to the Darwin Oar Rowing Society and now champions the DORC’s up there)

Hi Rowers,
Lets go Swimming
Good idea, 1 day to go of winter, so just enough time to save the world http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yZuOflEli8. So Nicole thinks it’s a good time to keep our gear on and jump in the swim.
For a while now we have been given strange orders to read dreary booklets and ordered down to the beach in the middle of winter to swim with our clothes on! No it’s not an initiation to the Richmond cult or a practical joke we play on newbies.
The reason for it is that as of the end of September you need to have done the appropriate boring tests and dares to meet the newly introduced Marine Safety Compliance. So everyone MUST pass the 50m COLD water test and a multiple choice quiz. Emma feels like a good belly laugh and thus has offered to assess our ability to swim OUTDOORS at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre at 9.30am on Saturday.
Wear your Zootie, you’ll just feel like your Great Granny did in the 30’s / 40’s when she went to the beach. Email the Pres at [email protected] and she’ll send you the quiz and then drop the test into the black secretary mailbox opposite the guys change room.  For more details see members news on the web site.
If you don’t do the test then you need to wear a yellow PFD. Which I’m think stands for Puffy Floating Dork outfit, which has a few potential negative consequences, if we row hard you might take off (might need to attach some string to your foot), if we row fast the pressure might pop you, you might get rubber / nappy rash, if you are err, umm well err equipped err up top, then bye bye scenery as your PFD will sit up right in front of your face. Lets face it its better to give Emma a giggle on Saturday, than all of Melbourne something to laugh at for weeks to come.
What do Rowers and Michael Jackson have in Common?
MAGIC MICHAEL MOMENTS PARTY inspired by Michael Jackson – Friday Sept 11th at the club.  More details on the website – FRONT PAGE!
The GREAT news is that the B team has 5 (count em) members. You know what that means for fancy dress! ABC!!! Unfortunately though 2 seat will be in Sydney (Rehab again poor thing) (Not really but it sounded very Hollywood), so we’re recruiting someone who can play any instrument loudly (might as well have one in the band and the louder the better to drown out our singing).
Keep an eye out for pre party promotions!
Pay up
Camp fees are due now – you should have received an email how to pay. If not let me know and we’ll sort it asap, we want your cash.
Keep a lookout for the forthcoming promotional video for the camp….it will star a closet Michael Jackson fan and his rather patient artistic director girl friend….
Ergo’s
Ergos for August are due now – it’s a great chance to track your progress. Ok now the pressure is on, in order to top the last couple of months you need to think Music, Inspirational Movies (Rambo, and umm Erin Brokovich and err well Footloose) Inspirational books about people who climb Everest in blizzards and lose toes and friends and guides. I assume you’ve tried Pasta the night before and the night before. So what about Pasta for breakfast and lunch as well as the night before, the night before that and the night before that too. Rest up before the ergo. Drive in, slowly, better yet get a lift, to the door and walk up the stairs slowly, if you can get someone to hoist you through the window and carry you to the erg.
Upcoming Regatta
Saltwater regatta, Saturday Sept 13th. It’s a 4.5 km course in quads.

Hi Rowers, Sorry for the late email.
Nicole and her boat had an RDO yesterday (well so she says but as she just wandered in blue with cold I’m thinking the winds may have blown her FAR upstream and it’s taken her 27 hours to get back) so after a morning of obediently painting paperclips black and yellow yesterday I took advantage of the situation and disappeared to Rowbust to coordinate my sock, croc, undie and zootie combinations in the latest spring colours.
So we now have 6 days left of winter. So that means that every night this week you need to eat soup, followed by a roast (with Yorkshire puddings if you know what they are) followed by hot pudding (chocolate or sticky date up to you), put your electric blanket on and wear your slippers, and under no circumstances do your legs.
6 days (and 7 nights) is also a movie! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120828/ Remember that totally unbelievable romance with Anne Hesche from when she only had eyes for Ellen and Harrison Ford looking like he was about 80 lost in a jungle, talk about lack of chemistry, I think if they had been lost in the jungle they would have been more likely to turn each others into canoes than to kiss.
The B team were let down by their hair last week, pouring rain and work meetings and that fact that we didn’t bring swim caps or have shaved heads has ruined our reputation in Simon’s eyes as we departed for an early season strategy meeting for country regattas and resumed our debate of parma or lasagne the night before a big race (over coffee to invigorate our thought processes) after deciding we wouldn’t be able to pull an erg under 4.99 before 7am. To regain lost ground we’ll be meting at 3am to erg before heading out at 4 on Thursday morning doing a few laps of the island, bringing the boat in for some rack time at about 6.15 and heading out again after that.
What do Rowers and Michael Jackson have in Common?

• Glove / s
• Siblings
• Medallions
• Split second timing
• Parents
• Not being the lover of Billie Jean
• We’re black and yellow he’s black and white
• Michael had some erg (some say lawn mower starting) inspired dance moves
• We all like / liked to party.

Bring your moves along on the 11th of September and dress up. This is code for a party at RRC on Friday 11th September…more details to come. 
Time Trials Goss Statistical reports just through from our department analyst which have just arrived on my desk highlight the fact that it’s highly likely the women’s team can open their own jars, as the women’s 8 was only 10 seconds (or about 3 boat lengths) behind the men’s 8.
Such were the lovely weather conditions that one (are they soft?) crew abandoned the race before the island. JL (MNB) decided to swap seats mid race without warning or notifying his buddy in his ‘new’ seat and a number of crews fall well behind their best times.
This is good news, as unless there’s a Tsunami we should be able to beat these times next time.
Ergo’s Ok, 6 days left of August, better get that August ergo in, see if you can make it to the shrine.
Regatta Saltwater regatta, Saturday Sept 13th. It’s a 4.5 km twisty course in quads.
The men’s eight is busy training for a shot at taking out this years sprint title at the world famous annual Dimboola Regatta.

Good Afternoon Rowers,
Winter Update, is now at 14 days to go, still a while, I mean the Cuban Missile Crisis was only 14 days and enough happened in that time to bore us all silly in History classes for the next few decades. 14 days is also a moive!! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0898887/ Albeit not a very famous movie, it stars the infamous Patricia Wolf, who google images tells me could look like this   or maybe like this   or possible slightly older and look like this  so keep an eye out for her whichever one she might be in B grade movies in the future. It seems it’s a move about a boy band in their hey day and scores 3 stars out of 10, I’d tell you exactly how Patricia fits in to this plot but by the way my computer keeps aborting the action it may not be family viewing.
Needless to say, $14 is a pretty average bottle of wine (yes there are exceptions and this is coming from the person who has drunk more than their entire bodyweight in cask wine over the years) and 14 donuts is possible, 14 slices of pizza a maybe, just not 14 pizzas. So the number definitely getting more manageable, especially with the fine forecast for the next 3 days.
Ergo’s
OK, time to start nagging for the August ergo’s. The B team again pulled commendable erg scores, their average propped up by their stroke with piston like legs once more and are now experimenting with pasta / music / steroid combinations as they prepare to pull their next erg so hard that the machine winds up on the tan track tripping up Kew mothers, Labradors and hot triathletes.
Reports in state that people erging consistently are improving on water and in their 10 min monthly ergos. So if you’re not erging and are constantly getting over the loud speak “3 seat blah blah” or yelled from the cox “harder on (coincidently) your side” or possible from a slightly curious Joe “why is your oar not going at the same time as the other oars”. Then get going. The Boss is not so ivory tower not to recognize that JLs ergos are very very very challenging (but good for you). Last week said senior manager was spotted bailing after 8 out of 15 intervals, like an energizer bunny she was clearly powered by music; her excuse was her ipod ran out of power.
Regatta
Saltwater regatta, Saturday Sept 13th. It’s a 4.5 km twisty course in quads, let the boss know if you would like enter a crew by this Saturday August 22! So far we have 5 crews(2 mixed and 3 girls) crews expressing interest. But no guys without chaperones (soft)!
Time Trials
Shame we weren’t all ducks yesterday, or snails, frogs or tulip bulbs, just plain old rowers getting rained on. Not ideal, but saves you washing your hair this week. Well done on the time trials for two 8s and three 4s.  The DS are particularly hard core, because they went out first in the worst weather and in 4s (rather than 8s) and after a narrow brush with saturation managed to prepare a fantastic rowers breakfast which included fruit, yogurt and muesli.

Good Afternoon Rowers,
Winter Update, is now at 21 days to go. 21 Days is also a movie! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032179/ A Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier showdown where he killed her husband who she hadn’t seen for 3 years anyway, not much of a husband, can hardly imagine poor Viv having to open her own jars for 3 years. Also 21 days is apparently all it takes to change a habit, imagine! so it might be an opportunity to create the new you. Be a vegan? Recycle everything, ride a unicycle while drinking a coffee (anyone else seen that guy along the Yarra in the mornings?) cut down to 3 sugars in your coffee, row every day! Clean the boat in, out, and the oars, your cox and the racks EVERYtime you row! Think of all the fun you could have for the next 3 weeks. For me 21 reminds me of a sailor suit, fake tan, VERY blond hair and my parent’s cleaner getting along VERY well with my aunt, oh that was a good party.
Coxing the Boys
Arnie has put her hand up, but Arnie is already doing loads for the club, it would be nice for some other paddlers to sit up the front with the guys on a Thursday morning. We still need someone for Saturday afternoons as even by calling themselves the C team they have not yet reached our level of adulation in Joe’s eyes and are unlikely to be able to steal her for the long term. It’s your chance to help out and also to practice some coaching and coxing.
Time Trials
Time trial Round 1 of 4:  From in front of the club, around the island and back.  The DS will be heading off at 9:30 am to get a head start (KIDDING) no so they can cook tasty brunch for us. Everyone else meet at the club at 9:45 am and for a 10 am push off. Pease confirm your attendance with your squad bosses or coaches.  Target crews for on the water include men’s 8, a men’s 4, 3 DS 4s, and 2 women’s 8s.  You need to be there, TRUST ME it may be the only chance you have of a trophy this year, unless you work at McDonalds and provide excellent customer service, or have volunteered with the CFA for 25 years 09 could be a desert, so come along for your chance of a medal in our time trials.
 Let’s Camp
Simon Crunden (MNB) has posted the details here http://3.25.77.84/bairnsdale-camp/ here is a brief outline, for more details check out the link.
Date: Friday 25 September to Sunday 27 September 2009
It’s for 3 days, so start going to the toilet each hour from 9am on Thursday, eventually leave at about 2 mumbling about chicken from your freezer and the time the power went off. For those whose bosses don’t fall for it you can come and join us on Friday night but the cost for camp stays the same whether it’s 2 or 3 days and crews and training is a lot easier to manage if rowers attend all three days. Word about town is that it is Grand Final weekend, this shouldn’t affect you unless you play for Geelong or Hawthorn or Croydon or whoever on earth plays in the AFL, let’s face it, many of us row because we can’t catch.
September training camp heads back to Bairnsdale www.gippslandtourism.com.au/Bairnsdale/ Your chance to combine tourism with rowing! It is one of the best weekends on our calendar (along with our Guinness book of records attempts to fit the most number of people in a room at Corowa). It’s a great opportunity to eat a parma and work it off the next day!
This year we will be travelling to and from Bairnsdale by train Cinderella style in our own private carriage. The train will depart Flinders Street station on Thursday evening and arrive at Bairnsdale where you will have a short walk to the salubrious Mitchell Gardens Caravan Park.
There will be loads of rowing, some technical sessions and some looong sessions. Loads of fun, social, wine, pub and eating sessions. Can’t go wrong really.
 What’s the damage?
RRC Members: $215 inclusive, and what do you get for this outlay? You Cinderella style train journey, Accommodation (3 nights), All meals (breakfast, lunch and dinners), Trailer fees (petrol for the poor b*tard who has to tow that MASSIVE TRAILER and this does not include money to replace bins which we run over on street corners) Group team building session (pass the orange perhaps?), Coaching, Video analysis sessions (so take waterproof mascara and experiment with slowing the slide), Wine tasting (to be confirmed).
Optional Extra’s:
Bed linen (pre booked): $8.00 (could be an idea unless you plan on hopping in with someone else, or of course bringing your own) Guaranteed double bed (subject to availability): $15 (I’m leaving this one alone) you’ll need to pay for the Friday train if you can’t make Thursday with the rest of the gang, prices on the web.
RSVP
Not your specialty I know, but you need to confirm you are attending the camp by Friday 21^st August and pay by the 31^st of August.

Hi Teamies,
Calling for some COXES
First of all, listen up if you like early mornings and bossing men about, maybe you missed out on the Army, you could have just been dumped and you’re seeking some vocal revenge on the entire male race, or perhaps you think you can whip those pretty boys into shape and help wring a medal out of them. The men’s squad is semi coxless, that is NOT  good, trust me one day when Joe abandoned us we were coxless and you should have heard the language of some of those young private school girls who we took by surprise as we rounded a corner, young people these days.
Now to save the boat fleet from being run over by cranky schoolgirls and also to stop the entire mens crew from waiting outside the women’s change rooms trying to SNAFFLE our prized cox. Will a few of you give them a hand on a few Thursday mornings and Saturday afternoons? Thursday mornings are fun with a row and a waffle and Saturday afternoons are a good so you can still have a looong sleep in.
So email me or Martin, do it for the club, the boats, the mean school girls with filthy mouths who scare easily and to stop the boys from hanging around the girls change room. Really we could do with some help here, a few offers will help get the mens crew on the water more regularly.
CELEBRATION – Sharon’s Betrothed
On another note, we’ve managed to offload Sharon, Graham has agreed to take her hand in marriage and we’re throwing a party to celebrate the weight lifted from our shoulders (I wonder if it was prompted by the time we rowed back and forth in front of the weather report; potentially advertising ourselves to the breakfast eating tv watching male public of Melbourne). We’ll be partying at the club house tomorrow night if you’d like to stop by, it’s BYO. Just let Sarah know you’re coming so she can throw a few more oysters in the boat. If you hear a strange whooshing noise it’s because we’re using the opportunity to do our erg.

Good Evening Rowers,

Sorry I’m a bit late, Nicole said July erg, apparently though implied….she didn’t actually mean for ALL of July..

Winter Update, is now at 35 days to go. 35 being not as small a number as we’d like, I mean 35 is still a LOT of laps of the tan and LOADS of donuts, admittedly a fairly cheap pair of shoes but quite a generous jeans size and (by my standards anyway) a pretty good bottle of wine. The good news is that while it’s now light til nearly 6pm, it’s dark by the time we train and also dark til about 7.10am, which means, no one can so how bad you are! So if you’re crummy, now is the time to hit the water and fly under the radar.

Ergo’s

Ok, July is VERY nearly over, so now it’s time to hop on your favourite erg as your stats are now due. 10 min for girls and the mixed master hoty crew with an open rating (translation flog yourself silly). Don’t be concerned if the guys are yet to show their mettle on the ergs as they will be doing their 20 min ergos in early August with the results posted on their shiny new blog for the world to see…..hardcore indeed.

Nicole’s tired of me boring her silly about my prowess on the erg (and extreme endurance and incredible ability) and invites you to do your monthly ergo – hop on the website and tell us about it (no need to post scores). Do JL’s weekly ergo and hop on the Tiger Forum and tell us about it.

The aim of all these ergos is A) because we are having mini-skirts as compulsory dress at the christmas party, B) because Barwon called us Chubby or according to the head honch C) They make

us feel good and virtuous. Which is true, I believe I deserve a medal, or (possible more

befitting) a state funeral after every ergo I do.

Website

So enter your erg and check out our website which it right on brief for making us appear VERY sporty! And VERY cool.

Squad Bosses

Lemme know when you’re going out and which boat has your name on it, well not literally of course, though I await the club reunion when I meet Karen Azinger, Jennifer Campbell and Co.

The boat booking board is in use – so please book your boats through Nicole or myself and check the board before taking a boat out.
