Dear All,

I thought that I should advise you of some decisions taken at the recent rowing committee meeting.

Firstly it was decided to revert to allocating some boats to specific squads and the Women's squad have use of Stolen Dreams 2x, Morpheus 4x- and Captain Gillespie 4+.

There are certain restrictions of use which have been placed on some boats to preserve their life and to try and ensure that they are always available for racing crews.

STOLEN DREAMS - may only be used by competent racing crews and then only with permission of the Women's Squad co-ordinator (me!). Currently the only women who have permission to use this boat are Kate p and Liz M.

MORPHEUS - may only be used by competent crews who have an approved steersperson in the bows. Again with permission form Women's squad co-ordinator.

Please ensure that when you are putting blades/sculls away that you put them back where they came from. We have had a few complaints that the concept sculls are not being put back properly.

All those women rowing should by now be fully paid up members of the club. A list of paid up members will be placed by next weekend in the training hut.

ANYONE WHO IS NOT ON THE LIST SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO GO ON THE WATER.

Finally - don't forget to advise me of your availability for racing so that we can sort out crews asap for the next events and get training.

Regards

Anne
