Important Notice - Bus Parent and wearing seatbelts on the bus A heads up to all parents of rowers regarding the wearing of seat belts on the bus. OCRC ensures to charter a coach which is fitted with seatbelts. The legal requirement is that if a bus is provided with seat belts, then they must be worn. If the bus is inspected by the police enroute and passengers are found not to be wearing seatbelts, then there could be a fine imposed to the passenger concerned. While our bus parent will tell the rowers to wear seatbelts at the beginning of the bus trip, it is not their responsibility to ensure the rowers are wearing their seatbelts through-out the duration of the trip. Parents please discuss the benefits of wearing a seatbelt on the bus and the implications of not in the (unlikely) event of an accident. The bus parent cannot be expected to monitor rowers wearing or not wearing their seatbelts during a bus trip and OCRC will not hold the bus parent responsible for any incidents on a bus trip if the rower is not wearing a seatbelt. Wanganui Regatta – departs this Fri 8th Feb Be at Onslow College top quad for bus loading at 3.35pm in your travel uniform – polo, hoodie. Bus departs at 4pm. Reminders:
Maadi Cup Regatta - Parent help required While the official selection of Maadi crews is still to be formally announced, it would be good to start planning the parent help to allow for people to apply for annual leave if required. Maadi is an 8 day away event, so setting up a roster of parent help could be a good way to share the work. So if you want to tentatively schedule yourself into a few days, then let Stephanie know.
KR2 / NICC & McLachlan Shield Congratulations to all of our rowers and coxswains who competed in these recent summer regattas. Onslow achieved 5 A Finals and 3 B Finals in the CTC school age regatta and 8 A Finals in the North Island Club regatta. We had nearly 90% of our rowing squad participating in Finals, so well done to everyone. And a special shout-out to Fin for winning 2 bronze and a silver medal racing with the club men and to Leon and Mark for winning a bronze also racing with the club men. The McLachlan Shield netted Onslow 4 firsts, 8 seconds and 7 thirds. With gold medals in Div 1 for Fin in the BU18 1x and for Josh, Ryan C, Ryan S, Will and Zach in the BU16 4+. All results and photos are on the website. Repeat call – Urgent Book Storage Required NOW! The remaining books from our Book Fair which are currently stored at Ullrich, need to be moved very soon as they are renovating their offices. So we need to find another storage location. If you have storage to offer or know of someone we can contact, then please let Matt Seymour know: [email protected] We may have to split the books around every family for storage. Availability for camps and regattas If you are not available for any of the remaining regattas or Rua training trips, then please let your coach and squad manager know asap. See the list of camps and regattas on the website: https://ocrowingclub.weebly.com/regattas--camps.html Rowit - http://rowit.nz/ This is a great site for parents to keep in touch with the live results while the students are away at regattas. View the Day Sheet for race events, times and results. Rowers can also check their race entries here. New members and those not yet signed up, should ask to be added to the 'Onslow College Rowing' Facebook page. This is a good way of a keeping up with reminder notices for regatta trips and events, as well as photos and other things happening with the club. Finally, good luck for the Wanganui regatta!
