Message from Henry this weekend rowing

Hi all.
Rota attached page two, please note times. We will be using Victoria pool for crew changes.
The weather is looking a bit dodgy again, so please use the message service. I will always endeavour to get the gig on the water, as I appreciate the disappointment when rowing is cancelled. That said, I do have a responsibility for all rowers, and while the sea can often look okay from land, the reality is usually very different on the water. When you factor in tide, wind, current, and the speed the weather can change, you can see why I have to be cautious.
Fingers crossed for the weekend.
Cheers,

Hi all.
Find attached the rota for Sunday's rowing. There will be no rowing this Saturday due to a number of reasons, Christmas, illness, weather, etc.

Hi all.
I'm afraid I've had to cancel Sunday's regatta. All 3 clubs are struggling for numbers due to Xmas around the corner, and we are also short of cover on the safety boat. I will reschedule for a Sunday in Jan. Sorry to all.

Pam, Trish, Juliet- I hope this isn't too late notice. Please let me know if you're out of pocket.

This means we can train on Sunday, so let me know if you wish to row, and I will put out a rota tomorrow PM.

Cheers,
H.

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.
