Hello all,

I would like to extend an invitation to all teams to come and join us
at Maclay's 2006 Ergomania on January 28.  Registration is now open
via mail, packets can be downloaded from
http://www.maclaycrew.org/ergomania.htm .

This is a great opportunity to get your team's pre-season 2k tests
done in a highly competative environment giving them the best possible
results.  Every spring season we at Maclay use Ergomania as a
benchmark for the rest of the season's training.

Hope to see you there,
      Yuval Peress.

Maclay Crew.

Subject: new high school girls crew team in Tampa

Hi Brice,

 

  My name is Pete Young, I am the athletic director at the Academy of the Holy Names in Tampa. We are an all-girls high school that is starting a crew program. We have done a lot of background work and are establishing the AHN Rowing Club to support the program, and we hope to begin having practices in January. But as if yet we do not have a coach and have had virtually no leads.

 

  I was hoping that you might be able to help us spread the word that we are looking for a coach, and I was also wondering if you had any suggestions for what else I could do to spread the word that we need a coach. I have placed an ad on row2k.com as well as on fhsaa.org and in the local papers, and I have contacted many people affiliated with local rowing programs, including at Plant, Tampa Catholic and Hillsborough Highs and at the University of Tampa, as well as with the Stewards Foundation, which oversees one of the local boathouses.

 

  Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

 

 

Thanks,

Pete Young, AD

Subject: VOTE

please vote in the latest USRowing amendment balloting.
(four amendments under consideration.)

These are organizational votes (not each individual member)
so your organization has to have their official delegate vote.

IF your organization did not vote,
have your delegate go to the USRowing website and get their delegate ballot

info.
There was an adjourned voting, which is now December 16th. in Chicago.
Complicated, but the bottom line is,
absentee ballots must be there by Dec.16th.
Mailed or faxed. for details on the amendments
see the USRowing website.

I went to the USRowing website but had no  idea how to find the amendments

voting/amendment section of the  website?  Thanks,


Here's how:
go to "About USRowing" on the Home page, that will take you to the info
about the convention and the voting,
"2005 Election Materials" and at the bottom there are links on what to do to
get the absentee ballot, etc.

let me know if you need more beyond that!

Subject: Demo Days in Florida (Please post and boradcast) Thank you!

Hello all,

 

After many years as Director of Member Services with USRowing, I now am delighted to be working for a great, innovative boat company  - WinTech Racing.

 

I, along with your area WinTech sales representative, am hosting a series of Demo Days of our boats in Florida and would appreciate the opportunity to visit you and your rowing organization.  We can be there as early as January and through February and March.

 

We can bring almost any size and weight boats your crews and scullers would enjoy rowing; We have a complete line of sleek, affordable singles, doubles, pairs, quads, fours and eights. Depending on the time of year, we can try to bring along the weight and size boat your organization is looking into.

 

Please refer to our website at www.WinTechRacing.com for more details on each model.

 

We have a line of new, SELF-BAILING boats, so your team can row more comfortably and safely.

In addition to our racing shells, we also manufacture solid and stable single and double Recreational boats and a VERY stable recreational/touring convertible quad/four-with. Great boats for your novices, stable in bad weather for your racing rowers as well. A solid investment for your program. 

Our company has a full line of various sizes of trailers, wakeless launches, and rowing accessories.

Our service and follow-thorough are peerless.

When may we come by for a Demo Day?

We'll work around your club's schedule, and we'll even bring coffee and bagels.

Our reps are VERY savvy at matching the right boats to the sculler or crew.

In order to provide the best service possible we would appreciate your help with providing the following information:

What dates may we visit you? Time of day?

 

Which size and weight boats would your organization like to try?

 

Who should I contact to confirm plans for the WinTech Demo Day for your organization?

 

The

telephone number? Email?

 

Thanks, very much.

 

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Happy Holidays to you all!

 

Margot

Old Blues,

Some of you might know me, most of you probably don't.  I was an Oxford
rower between 2002 and 4 in which time I won the spare pair race (03) and
the ISIS race in 2004.  I have now re-located back to my home and moved on
past the erg workouts, early mornings, and vomiting.  That said, I am still
active in the sport but now from a completely different angle.  I am in the
process of creating an at-risk community outreach / rowing center.  I am,
with the help of others, creating a sound business plan, solidifying
contacts, and doing my homework to make sure this center is a model for what

can be done for the community.  That said, I require a little help to make
this all work.  I have put together an on-line survey to help define what
the rowing publics perception on what is needed.  I need your help.  If you
could take the time to go to www.rowingsurvey.com and fill out and submit
the survey that would be awesome.  If you could then forward it to others in

the rowing community that would be even better.  I am looking to get over a
thousand replies in a months time and with everyone's help (and all ages and

rowing backgrounds are encouraged to reply) I think that is possible . If
you have any questions please let me know and I'll keep you informed of my
progress.  I really appreciate you taking the time to get through all of
this and I hope you find my focus to be a worthy one, one which you can
embrace and help push through.  In case you were wondering, I was talking to

Pete Bridge and he was the one that gave me all of your addresses.  In the
event that you know others from Oxford that are not on this list please let
me know and I can then help Pete out by updating his list.

Thanks again and I really appreciate your help.

Cheers, Montana

Good morning,

John Corelli from Southern Sprints is trying to finish up registration for
the erg sprints.  Please contact him to let him know if you plan on
attending and get him your registration info.

John can be reached at southernsprints@...

Thanks,

Tom Morgan

FYI: If passed, I believe this will add state registration fees for rowing.

Subject: [Fwd: BAC Non-motorized Vessel Subcommittee (Canoe & Kayak
Registration)]

Dear Paddlers,

The BAC Non-Motorized Vessels Subcommittee will meet on Tuesday, January 31,
2006 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the HILTON UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA, 1714 SW
34th Street, Gainesville, FL 32607.

The HILTON currently has the Committee scheduled in the meeting room
named, CENTURY B.

Attached is a copy of the agenda.

This subcommittee of the BAC (Boating Advisory Council) is looking into
the pros and cons of non-motorized vessel (canoes & kayaks included)
registration in the state of Florida. All are welcome to offer input.
If you cannot make the meeting, send me your ideas, opinions, etc. and
I'll be glad to pass them on.

The members of the BAC can be found at
http://myfwc.com/law/council/members.html . The subcommittee members
are Becky Bragg, Lisa Neal (chair), Jennifer Castle Field, William
Griswold, Richard Jones, Jessica Koelsch, Peggy Matthews, Edward
Seguna.

Registration Update: In December FWC reported they would not be
pursuing non-motorized vessel registration in the legislature this
year, but that doesn't mean the marine industry will not pursue it.
Brevard County Commissioners dropped canoe and kayak registration from
their resolution for support of FWC funding to be sent to the
legislature.

For more information see www.paddleflausa.com or contact myself on
registration info (email is best). For more meeting info contact

See you on the river!
