March Update

Posted by Owen Moore on 28 February 2025

It has been a cold, windy and wet start to the year but that has not stopped members from renewing their membership (thank-you all) and getting out on the water.  I’m sure that I’m not alone in keenly waiting the arrival of longer and warmer days.

Racing still takes place at this time of year and the club has been to Teignmouth, Dartmouth and Queen Anne’s Battery.  As is usual now we have had a full gamut of teams from U16 all the way up to supervets.  Most importantly these days have been well-run and great fun but there have also been some wins with, as ever, the junior crew taking first place in Dart and Teign.

Club news

We remain very keen for more people to join the committee and share the load for organising the club.  We are sadly losing Kathy Hudson from one of the secretarial roles and she deserves special thanks for her diligence and hard work.  She has been amazingly organised and clearly planned and structured a list of the responsibilities and we’d like to have two people to continue her work.  Please get in touch if you have any interest. You do not have to be a rower to help support a local club and charity which currently enables nearly 150 rowers from age 10 to 85 to keep active, be social and enjoy the beautiful environment.

Finally, I suspect that there are lots of good ideas for the club that aren’t heard.  I have set up an anonymous feedback form that will send to the chair’s email address.  The form is here.
