Kia Ora everyone Only 4.5 weeks until the first major regatta of the season. Hard to believe December is rolling in fast. Interesting note – we currently have 14 of our 46 rowers for the season who are siblings! And then 4 more who are a rower-coach combo. That’s a third of our squad – nothing like keeping it in the family! Dates for your Diary · Mon 16th Nov – Exams start · Sat 21st Nov – Rua trip (as exams permit) · Sat 28th Nov – Wellington Champs regatta · Wed 9th Dec – depart for KR1, Karapiro · Sun 13th Dec – return from KR1 · Wed 9th Dec – last day of school OCRC Committee Thank you to everyone who attended the recent AGM and senior farewell. Welcome to the new OCRC Committee for the 2020-21 season:
Book Fair Fundraiser Thanks again to everyone with helping on the Book Fair, great to see everyone contributing their bit and particular thanks to the Book Fair Committee – Matt & Maria Seymour (huge effort!), Clare Stanley, Teresa Jordan, Tina Manker and me! Fantastic that we raised $5500. This will contribute to our coach expenses this season and now means we can keep our OCRC subs to our usual cost, rather than having to pay more if we had not done a fundraiser this year. 1841 Raffle Fundraiser The coordinator for this regular fundraiser is now Marie Butel. The same roster issued earlier is being followed, but any questions or help with changes, to Marie. Funds raised go towards the NISSC bus cost. Marie Butel - [email protected] OCRC Subs OCRC subs have been set at $200 for the season. This is the same cost as usual – thanks to the book fair fundraising efforts. $100 is a contribution to coach expenses (so that coaches are not generally out of pocket with all the work they put into a season of coaching rowing for our kids). $100 goes towards boat maintenance. There are always general maintenance costs through the season and every second year our racing boat fleet stays in Cambridge after the Maadi Cup for a good refurbishment. This will be happening this year and the funds built up over a 2 year period, pay for this. OCRC subs will be added to your school account shortly and should be paid prior to the school break up. WRC Subs due WRC subs. Everyone should have the WRC fee on your school account. Please pay asap. Total WRC is $700 for a rower, $200 for a cox. Uniforms & Payments due Uniforms. All uniforms have been issued and are due for payment. Fees are on your school account. Please pay asap. There were a couple of key entry issues by school for charging of fees on school accounts, so if you want to recheck your charges, here are the uniform costs of each piece:
Parent requests – there have been a couple of requests for parent hoodies and bucket hats, so if you want one – then you are welcome to order (more PR for OCRC). Initials “SUPPORTER”. Last uniform order is being placed together with the bucket hats early next week. Summer Away Event Payments Still on the topic of fees. We have to submit the budgets to school for all summer events before school closes for the summer. Therefore, you will also see costs for KR1, Summer Camp and NICC on your school account by early Dec. If you can pay for these when they appear on your account, that would be useful, but definitely before the event date. There is a school policy of ‘no pay, no play’. So before you get on the bus, please have the event paid for – thank you! On the plus side, by the time we pay for these 3 summer events, that is basically 80% of the season paid for. Summer Event Availability Please let your coach and Squad Manager know asap if you are not available for any of the summer events:
Subway Orders You have been issued the subway order spreadsheet – you need to submit your order. This is lunch on the way up to Karapiro and is included in the cost of the regatta. There are a lot of students who have not submitted an order which means there will be a lot of vege subs being ordered on your behalf!! Please contact Amy Mackiewicz if you have any questions. She will be supplying the orders to Subway soon. Amy - [email protected] Parent Help for Karapiro Regattas This is a first call for parent help for the season camps and regattas. If you think you might like to help on a Karapiro regatta this season, then see the following dates and let me know. Thank you to parents who have already offered for KR1 and summer camp. Great to have that organised early!
Parent Help for Wellington Regattas Louise is still asking for volunteers for the Wellington regattas:
