Hello, I just joined this group on Yahoo. I belong to the King High
School Crew club. We just recently got Melbourne high school to
provide us with a training boat which will be delivered soon. If it
is at all possible, can any member of this club afford or be willing
to donate a boat to our beginning club. Our club would really
appreciate, and has so much gratitude for Melbourne High School's
generous donation. Pleas contact me via this group or at my email
address at totlycool13@.... thank you so much everyone.

Lodging has been secured for those teams visiting overnight.  Our Student
Life Center has agreed to open their gym for students.  A $5/person fee has
been requested by them to cover staffing and custodians because school is
closed for Spring Break.

Go to our web page for Registration Information on this March 8th regatta.

I delivered some parts for Beth Martin (Jacksonville), and left out
the height stick!  I'm gonna have to get a hold of her, so I can mail
it, but I do not have her email address anymore.  Can anyone help me
out here?  I need to fix my boo boo!  Some thing told me I needed
coffee that morning...
Thanks in advance, to whoever.

Due to lack of interest the Advanced cox Clinic has been scheduled.  Watch
next Fall/Spring for further Cox clinics.  I promise to give earlier
scheduling :-)

Greetings all,

There is an updated schedule for the Stetson Scholastic Regatta.  It looks
to be finals only with 6-8 teams attending.  If necessary, we will adjust.
The Varsity 8's have been changed to run first, thus doubling won't affect
your V8 speed.  This idea has been favorable from the coaches I have spoken
to.

The good news is that the whole regatta will be held in one location (unlike
Head of the John).  If you attended the HOTJ you will remember the spectator
field.  That is where the whole regatta will be held.  There will be 2 docks
for the race.

CURRENT TEAMS:
OARS
TAC
Melbourne High School
SCC
HHS
Plant HS
Halifax

BMHS?
Mast Acad.?

Email me with any questions.  Web page below has the regatta schedule

http://www.stetson.edu/offices/athletics/crew/index.htm

I hope everyone survived the Mayor's cup weather.  It was quite fun
officiating :-)

We have been trying to reschedule the Devil's Regatta,
but unfortunately every weekend in March and April are
busy (FSRA Schedule). We are looking to schedule our
regatta probably at the end of this season.
Sorry for the inconvenience. If you have any date
suggestion please let us know.

Oops!  It appears that we did not remove the "boat entry form" section from
this packet.  Because the 2003 OARS Invitational is not a qualifer for
Cinci, you do not have to fill out individual boat forms.  Here is the
packet with this section omitted.  If you are having difficulties opening
this file, just e-mail me with a fax # or address & I can send it to you!
Thanks
Kirsten

All coaches/rowing organization representatives,

Thank you for forwarding the letter from Peter de Manio.
Melbourne will take this information into account, and after racing this
season with the two championships that were voted for at the fall meeting,
we will be willing to discuss and debate this issue to the fullest extend
possible so that a decision to the benifit of both high school and club
programs in the state of Florida can be made.

Coaches,

I ask that you help me spread the word on the following summer rowing
opportunity. I will have registration materials and informative brochures at the
OARS Regatta at the end of the month.

Pine Crest Crew, Fort Lauderdale, will be hosting an inaugural rowing camp the
first full week of August this coming summer. The camp is geared toward novice
and intermediate rowers, grades 7-12 (incoming). I expect that the athletes we
will draw will be day-campers coming from the Jupiter-Miami southeast coast, as
we no longer have dorming capacities at Pine Crest.

DATES: Monday August 4 - Friday August 8, 2003

The camp will be run out of our new two-bay boathouse, and rowers will train in
our erg room and on the C-14 Canal where Pine Crest rows. The camp is all day
(8:30-6:15), Monday through Friday, and will be run in the same fashion as other
summer crew camps found predominately in New England; that is double practices,
video review, daily clinic/lecture on assorted topics, free time for field
sports and potentially swimming, and lunch.

Cost is $450. Link to the registration form:
http://www.ftl.pinecrest.edu/summer/s-sports.pdf

There currently exists minimal room for additional coaches, but more
opportunities may arise. Coaches and athletes interested should direct inqueries
and questions to Josh Fien-Helfman at Josh@....
