Message from Henry

Hello all.
Just a quick mail to all members, but specifically to rowing members.
The ladies had a very productive meeting on Tuesday, which was attended by the secretary and ladies captain from Weymouth rowing club. They are very impressed with the progress we have made so far, and confirmed that we are on the right track regarding the rowing development of the club.
Both Jackie and myself are committed to offering rowing to all, which with just one gig, is not always easy. The winter league we have set up with Weymouth and Swanage will give many the opportunity to get some race experience, but because of limitations on the amount of races we can have, not everyone can row. Please bear with us. The opportunities to race will become more, especially when we have our second boat.
Our criteria for selecting sides is based mainly on experience at the moment, so keep up the training, and your chance will come.
Remember, if you have any problems/queries/thoughts, etc do not hesitate to contact either myself or Jackie.

Thank you all for your help and commitment so far.
Henry & Jackie.

Ladies of the Gig Club get together make the date in your diary

Hi all

We are having a ladies get together on Tuesday 25th November 7pm at the Power Boat Club. It promises to be a fun, informal and informative evening for both Rowing and Social Lady members.

We have invited some of the Weymouth ladies to come and chat to us and answer any questions – I’m sure we’ve all got some!
Gail has also offered to open up the gig shed so we can see how our new Gig is progressing and learn a bit about the ‘build’.

The bar will be manned and we thought it might be nice to have some nibbles so perhaps everyone could bring a plate of something to share (finger food would be good so we can avoid plates and cutlery).

Just so we have an idea of numbers, could you email me an RSVP.

Many thanks

Diana
