AGM and Yr 13 farewell · AGM – Tuesday 17th Oct, 7.30pm, school staffroom Hope to see you next week at the AGM and the farewell to the Yr 13 rowers as they have finished their school rowing careers. Thank you to Ellen, Ben and Allegra who are stepping up to assist with coaching for the remainder of their Yr 13 year. We have 4 committee members who are stepping down at the AGM and 2 replacements. We’d like to get another couple of parents onto the committee, in particular, a new logistics/parent coordinator. So get in contact and we will give you more details. It’s always great to get involved with your children’s sport. AGM agenda and reports will be issued this week. Book Fair The book fair raised $8,770 which was a fantastic effort from everyone, thank you to you all. Special thanks to the book fair committee: Jenny Miller, Matt Seymour, Paula Pope, Nicola Holden, Shelley Cooper and others. The funds raised will go towards coach and equipment expenses which helps to keep our OCRC fees down. Camp and Regatta dates The season schedule with camp and regatta dates is on the website. https://ocrowingclub.weebly.com/regattas--camps.html Finally, after 9 seasons of being involved with OCRC, I am stepping away as my 3rd rower moves his focus from rowing to football. It’s the end of an era but has been a fabulous journey, making friends along the way and seeing the achievements and successes of many onslow students. Thank you to all of OCRC, it has been a privilege to be part of this team. I wish everyone a fabulous rowing season and future ahead and thank Brent Cooper who is stepping into the President role.
