No Parking in compound. 24th – 26th August

Due to the amount of visiting boats expected for LHRW please can cruiser owners make other arrangements for weekend parking, as much space is needed as possible. Thank you for your co-operation for this event.

Club Buoyancy Aids

If you use a club buoyancy aid or your child does at cadets please can you ensure it is put back in the box at the end of use, rinsed if it has got wet. On Thursday evening I collected 12 from the gents and 3 from the ladies that had not been put away.

Training Requirements Survey

In order to plan our response to the 2016 AGM resolution that all patrol boat drivers should be RYA PB2 qualified by 2021, we would be grateful if you could complete a very short survey. Whilst putting a survey out we are also enquiring whether anyone has an interest in First Aid or VHF training. This survey is limited to 5 multiple choice answers so will only take you a couple of minutes to complete.

You can access the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/9RBVYVB

Many thanks

Call for outstanding expense claims and invoices for payment

Our financial year ends at the end of October. Please could I remind you to send all outstanding expense claims and invoices for payment to me in good time. Receipts for expense claims MUST be accompanied by a completed expense claim form. The forms can be found on our website in the member’s secure area in both excel and PDF format. I prefer to receive claims via email (either the excel version of the claim form or a scan or photograph of the completed PDF claim form, accompanied by scans or photographs of the receipts). Bank details must be clearly written or typed on the form. For anyone who does not wish to send the claim online, please follow the instructions on the form for sending hardcopy.

Thames Great River Race 2018

Tudor Rowers Sandy Craig, John Elson and Ian Ducane with Jay Ducane & Heather Owen as coxswain/ passenger will be entering this race on the 8th September 2018. Boat support will be given by Graham Ducane

The GRR race is for fixed seat rowing boats rigged with a minimum of 4 oars. Last year we had cruise ship lifeboats and dragon boats running with up to 16 oars/paddles. 330 boats entered last year and this year looks to be much the same. We did well for our first outing last year finishing in 17th place, we hope to improve our time and place this year. An early start will have boats from all around the country and further afield at the start line at Millwall Docks ready to row the 22 miles upriver to the finish line at Ham.

John suggested we row this year in aid of a local charity and so we have chosen our local RNLI station at Eastney to receive donations from our rowing efforts.

A just giving page has been set up for all donations and can be accessed via the link below.

Thank you for donating to this good cause.

Lost & Found

Micky Willis has informed me that he found a pair of Rayban type sunglasses on the north side of the slipway, about half way down. He has put them on the white plastic table outside the clubhouse, underneath the Race Hut stair case.
