Many thanks for your efforts on the weekend and congratulations to all the kids and parents on the weekend. I want to thank Craig and Michael for providing our water cover quota on Saturday. If you are able to provide water cover for a couple of hours on either Saturday or Sunday that would be greatly appreciated.

This weekend will see two full days on the beach at Somerton and as soon as the program comes out I will get it through to you all.

Wednesday night will see our  last pool swimming for the junior’s starting at 7.00pm.

For Thursday we are having a pasta night for the kids, pasta will be $10.00 a serve and we still have the usual Thursday night schnitzel menu also. Meals will be available from the usual time and our guest speaker will start from 7.00pm.

On Monday 14 March the presentation day will start at 11.00am with the kids on the beach for the shaving cream fight with lunch available from 12.00pm with meals priced at $7.00 for kids and adults $10.00. After everyone has finished lunch we will start the presentations.

We encourage all people to come along and celebrate the last official day of the season. All age groups including Under 7’s, 8’s and especially the Under 14’s are to come along and have some fun.

Remember be the best you can be and have fun. See you on the beach.

This week will see our club championship run (Under 7-Under 13)  on Saturday during our training session.

Boaties Corner

Masters State Titles

 

What an exciting weekend for the Masters Rowers with the State carnival held on Saturday at Aldinga Beach. A reasonably calm day with a little bubble from the gate can to shore.  Semaphore had six teams in with Excellent results.  Thanks again to Simsy for directing us on the beach and keeping us heading in the right direction, and organising team Shirts from EzyFit, our major sponsor in the boats section.

 

The AngryBirds (F 160+ Donna, Tracy, Louise & Kirsty) got a silver medal narrowly missing out on gold with their arch rivals for the day Port Elliot.  This is the first Female rowing medal for Semaphore “ever”– Fantastic effort from the ladies.

 

The Jacco’s (M160+ Johno, Craig A, Craig L, & Owen) cracked their Gold this year which now gives them the complete medal set after three years. Tight racing with Somerton giving them a very hard time.

 

The Trog’s (M220+ Mainy,Weiry,Mick & Stephen) recovered well from the first race to salvage a bronze from two strong seconds in the 2nd and 3rd races. Well done.

 

The Marty team (F120+ Marty,Dale,Browny & Aaron) Managed to come away with Gold from their first training session for the year. This makes it an excellent representation from Semaphore.

 

The Undecideds (F180+ – Jackie,Debb,Claire & Heather) had a great race day coming home in the middle of the pack all day. Excellent effort for their first year of rowing.

 

The Bizzalloys (M180+ The president, Mick L, Richard, & Barts) drew  the short straw with the most heavily contested division. After their extensive training session they represented Semaphore well. Great effort guys.

 

So an excellent effort from the Boaties in state masters.

 

Remember Senior States coming up 20 March

Water Cover Needed!

Hi everyone, with Master Boat State Titles on this Saturday we will unfortunately be short on numbers for water cover. If you are not rowing this Saturday and am able to come down and help out it will be much appreciated. Without sufficient water cover our nippers can not go in the water and what water cover we have become exhausted with the work they have to do.

Any help will be appreciated!
