Sunday Breakfast - Open to all 

On at the clubrooms every Sunday morning at 9am. 
The cost ?  A mere $6 for a full fry up which will be expertly cooked by master chef Siok. 
Why not turn up for a row before hand and volunteer to be the guest cook for the morning. 

We're always in need of help behind the BBQ to give Siok a much deserved break.

How good was this day?!!

Well done to all that participated and helped at today's ANA Challenge Cup Baywater Learn-to-Row Regatta.

A VERY successful day with excellent rowing in difficult conditions.

Major thanks to Captain Peta Mulcahy and Ian Hilton for a beautifully organised and co-ordinated event. Nick Seuss for a great program of events and lovely regatta control table as well as assisting in boat preparation and program writing. Margaret McHugh for background co-ordination and ANA promotion on the day.

Siok for the ever amazing catering arrangements, all the girls that turned up at 6.30am to chop buns and onions!!! Pam, Carole, Jess and others who unfortunately have fallen foul of my short term memory issues!? Non coaching coxes that put in excellent efforts being thrown into all crews in all races. Claire Jansen (as usual!) Carole Pedri's son, Kelcey, Helen op den Velde.

Mum to be Robyn for an excellent first half starting in the worst conditions.

Tony Beech for marshalling boats all day on his own in a permeable membrane hulled boat whilst dealing with the general traffic too.

All the vets lads who carted the shed out to the jetty and back, special mention to Dave Haines for coming from Queensland to help on that front!!!

All who helped on the catering front and wine promotion, Helen and Wouter for all day photography of the event - available to view on our website soon.

ALL the coaches, fill-in coaches and helpers for getting crews to what looked like a pretty high standard of rowing.

Sharing the river with the kayakers….

GENERAL RULE
Go around the island, carefully, by the far channel on Weds evenings

Dear all

I have recently met with Leone Cockman, president of Ascot Kayak Club, and we discussed the incidents at the island on Wednesday nights along with lighting issues on dark morning/evening outings.

We came to an arrangement whereby on Weds evenings, when they have a special event making it unsafe for boats to row along the usual route, they will have someone stationed on the island to direct traffic around on the left/bow side of the island going up river.

It is recommended that you go along slowly and close to the left hand bank giving plenty of room for boats coming downstream. We also ask rowers coming downstream to pay more attention at this point and row with a little more caution.

We also discussed as mentioned the lack of lights on some kayaks and she has sent a letter out to all their members calling for better lighting on kayaks out in the dark hours as well as the arrangements mentioned above.

The letter from Leonie is below.

We look forward to more amicable meetings on the river.

Captain ANA Rowing Club
Bayswater.
M: 0431 931 067

From: Leonie Cockman
AKC President 1/2/2009

Sharing the river with the rowers….

Our neighbours down river (ANA) tend to be using the river at the same time we do, so it makes sense that we should be keeping an eye out for each other. It also makes sense that since they are going backwards we are the ones and get out of the way if possible. (They keep to the left, so keep this in mind and give them plenty of room). Generally rowers row with the river bank on their left so if you paddle on the opposite side you will usually avoid them.

Recently Stuart Ridgway (Captain ANA) and I had a chat as a few of the ANA members were finding us (AKC members) a bit, well shall we say, not so well mannered. We decided that on Wednesday during our club race start (ie 5.45 till 6 30 pm) the ANA rowers will use the other side (or far side) of the island. If we have a special event or activity where it would not be safe for us or the rowers to use the usual route near our club we can have someone on the island to direct the rowers to the other side before they enter the channel. Wednesday is our club race night and for ANA it is when many of their recreational members row.

Another concern for the early morning rowers is the lack of lights on our craft or ourselves. If you are training in the dark please use your light. It should be something that can be seen from in front and behind. Rowers use a white light on the bow (ie coming towards) and a red light at the back (going away).

ANA like ourselves is going through a growth period and they have an increase in recreational rowers just as we have more social paddlers, the key here is more new people on the river for both clubs. We also agreed it would be a fun if we could do some cross over activities in the near future as we are cousins….and we should always be greeting our cousins with a “gooday mate,how’s it going”.

Gourmet BBQ evening
Wed 18 Feb

6.30pm at clubrooms.

This was indeed a gourmet night with some excellent food delicately seard on the ANA BBQs. Great to see a number of families present along with the Nationals Squads and their coaches.

Thanks to all who brought food and the various family members that helped put together a very enjoyable night.

Maintenance and clean up day

Sat Feb 14. - 8.30am

Yet again a poor turnout to a maintenance day.

Usual suspects did a great job of sprucing up five of the Rec sculls and genarally moving boats around, tidying up and fixing up a couple of doubles and quads. If more had shown up maybe all the Rec sculls could have been done!!

Many thanks to Glyn Heath, Kay and Claire Jansen, Ian Hilton, Jess Bosio, Carole Padri, Mike Berson, Graham Mendelsohn, Helen O'Keefe, Karen Joesbury (not sure about the surname?), James Carpenter on the oars. Sorry if I missed any one.
