Corporate Rowing Regatta – Murray Madness
After 4 weeks of intensive training 6 crews fought it out on the water in heats to enable 3 crews to qualify for the final. The rowing has been classified as being the highest level since the Murray Madness Regatta began. This was in part due to the support and dedication to the coaches for each crew but more to the enjoyment and commitment of the participants who really wanted to be involved. Competitors and spectators are still talking about the enjoyable event and businesses are lining up for the next one. It’s hard to tell them they will have to wait 12 months. Thank you to all involved. Photos will be on the website shortly.
Club Training Sessions
I would just like to outline a few training sessions to support Members involvement. The club is promoting Thursday Evening at 6-00pm as a time for members to come down to the club and have a row as a larger group. Tonight we had 2 Fours, a Quad and a Scull on the water. We are looking to get the 8’s out when the opportunity arrives. The sessions also promote Coaching support from Nigel Sullivan, Dave Talbot, Michael Wild, Dave Carson and myself. The following are meant to be guidelines only.
· Tuesday Evenings at 5-30pm Juniors and General Rowing
· Thursday Evenings at 6-00pm General Club Rowing especially Senior members
· Saturday Morning at 7-00am Seniors with a focus in rowing the 8.
· Sunday Morning at 8-00am Learn to Row Program – General Rowing
· Sunday Morning at 9-00am Juniors and General Rowing.
Friday Night Regatta
Following the success of the Corporate Regatta a Friday night rowing event will be held on 17th December commencing at 6-00pm. A BBQ to follow. This is to support the momentum of rowing at present and provide an opportunity for New members to participate in club events with existing members.
Christmas Lunch
Also, just as a reminder of our annual Christmas dinner on Sunday 19th December at 12.30pm.

Disability Rowing Program
Dave Carson (Club President) has mentioned how well the program is going. There has been 4 main participants coming down to the club regularly on a Thursday afternoon from the local Christie Centre. There is real enjoyment on the faces of the participants as they work towards learning new skills and burn off a little energy on the Ergo’s.
Wentworth Rowing Club
Sam Cross has forwarded an email to me today advising of a club event they are holding this Friday 26th November starting at 5-00pm. There will be some rowing activity and a dinner afterwards.
