After a short break we are back! Training has already started for the experienced rowers, thanks to coaches for kicking that off.

There is a big intake of potential LTR-ers, so hopefully the weather will play nicely and you get lots of good water time. But no doubt you will get to experience a bit of the typical land-based trainings as well. Welcome aboard! LTR Programme / Spring Training LTR and spring training for existing rowers begins Friday 20th Aug with the following schedule:
Note, there will be a compulsory attendance meeting for all season rowers and a parent held on the last Sunday 26th Sept training day. Time either 2.30pm before training or afterwards - tbc LTR / Spring Camp
Season Squads and Coaches We are aiming to effectively have 4 primary squads this season with coaches as follows:
OCRC Book Fair: 4th – 5th SEPT Our annual book fair fundraiser will be held at school on 4-5 September. This is our main fundraising event for rowing and helps to offset the cost of buses up to regattas and coaches' expenses. You will soon be receiving an email with a two-hour slot for your family and rower to help during the bookfair weekend. Those who are not available on the fair weekend have the option of helping with book sorting the prior weekend instead. Collected books and banana boxes need to be dropped off at the year 13 "study" space (room 57 on Table Mountain) school for sorting 28/29 August (hours to be advised shortly). We will also be asking each family to bake a cake or slice/biscuits etc for sale during the fair. Book Fair contact: Clare Stanley: [email protected] WRC Registration All existing rowers & coxswains, please register on WRC. This should be done in order to participate in the Spring training programme. All Ltr-ers, also please register on WRC. http://www.wellingtonrowing.org.nz/Register-1 Professional photography Just a follow up from last season, as you know the professional photography at Maadi was cancelled at the last minute for all schools. We do have a small collection of funds that were allocated for this, so the Committee has decided to carry that fund over for this coming season and we will put it towards this season’s professional photography.
