David Hosking completes Atlantic Row |
|
|
|
|
If you haven't seen David for a couple of months, it's because he's been busy rowing across the Atlantic! His Britannia III crew are the first boat in the Woodvale Atlantic Race to cross the finishing line in Barbados, 38 days after setting off from the Canary Islands. They missed the current record for the crossing by a few days due to bad weather and adverse conditions. However you can be sure that it will make David even more determined to have another go at it. So if he asks you if you fancy going out for a row, think very carefully before you answer - he probably doesn't mean up to the canoe club and back!

Walton win National Coaching Team of the Year
Walton's coaching successes over the last year have been recognised with the award of British Rowing's Coaching Team of the Year. The award committee noted that Walton not only consistently produces excellent junior scullers and rowers, many of whom go on the represent Great Britain, but also has made excellent progress in introducing more adult and veteran beginners to the sport and now has waiting lists for most of its squads. Most of the coaching team will be attending the award presentation which is held at the Great Britain senior team trials finals at Dorney Lake.
The full commendation is on the British Rowing web-site: http://www.britishrowing.org/news/british-rowing-coach-year-awards-2009

Great Results at Hampton Junior Head |
|
|
|
|
Sam Knight and Angus Groom won the junior doubles title in impressive style, and then teamed up in a composite to come second in the quads.
Our next best result came from the youngest girls group who came second in WJ13 quads, less than a second behind the winners.
The older girls also did exceptionally well, with Holly Jones, Sam Ball, Hannah Traylen and Julia Clarke coming second in girls fours, and then teaming up with Sophie Walker, Naomi Allberry, Alice Correiea-Morton, Annie Withers and Joanna Fish to come 5th in the eights.
Our younger boys matched the girls with second place in J13 quads, and 8th in J14 octuples against a very strong field containing most of the top rowing schools.

New building: Its going to be big!! |
|
|
|
|
After a bit of a delay due to the icy weather the new building is starting to shoot up. There is a fair way to go yet but having a boathouse again seems a lot closer.

NEW BOATHOUSE DEVELOPMENT HAS STARTED
Less than a week after we moved out, most of the old boathouse has been demolished, and work will shortly be starting on laying the foundations and slab for the new two-storey boathouse. Full rowing operations will continue as normal over the Winter, with all boats being stored outside in the compound, and all blades and other equipment in the sculling shed. Temporary changing rooms and a club-room have been installed behind the sculling shed.
