DRC AGM, 12th November, 2007, 8pm

This year's club AGM will be held at the Bull Hotel (back room), Woodbridge on Monday 12th November at 8pm.

All club members are encouraged to come along to have their say in choosing a committee for the next year and also participating in discussions about the club.

I'd particularly like to encourage people who've joined the club in recent years to consider standing for a position on the committee. You should be prepared to make yourself available (where possible) for committee meetings (roughly every two months) and should be prepared to give some time to helping out generally, as well as any specific duties that go with the position you're intrested in.

Here is a list of the committee roles:

Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Hon. Treasurer, Vice-Treasurer, Secretary (as well as possibly new position of Assistant Secretary), Rowing Captain, Vice-Rowing Captain, Junior Rowing Captain, Social Secretary, Membership Secretary, Safety Advisor, Ordinary Members (x3)

Please feel free to contact me or anyone else on committee if you'd like to know more about what's involved. As Anna H. mentioned in her email, nominations should be sent to her.

Pairs Head & Cambridge Small Boats Head, 6 October 2007

Last weekend was another busy one for members of the club...

Clio & Chris J. took part in the Pairs Head on the Thames. Despite a nasty headwind, they put in a great effort and completed the course in 15mins, 31secs.

Kate, Em, John & Terry also went to Cambridge for the small boats head...

TD has kindly sent in this report on the race:

"Cambridge Small Boats was a triumph for Churcher Vet E who settled into a good style and rhythm after the bends, then went on to win.

The Davey/ Churcher Vet F in the old ‘HighTec’ double scull Reg (bought from Rob Roy many years ago for £600) went very well despite the antique boat and the crew’s combined age of 122 years. They failed to win a prize as there were no other competitors in the category; I guess the others had heard we were racing!

The junior double of Em and Kate were very stylish down to the start but lost a lot of time in the race through an equipment fault and a brush with the bank side. Even then, they were not the slowest boat. So, well done Em & Kate it's looking good for next time!"

Well done all of you!!!
