Water Cover Needed!

/0 Comments/in /by

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!

Senior Carnival 4 Wrap-Up

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Seniors had their 4th carnival for the season at South Port (just for somewhere different!) on Sunday 24th January.

We had a small crew competing this time as this date happened to coincide with Swimming SAs Long Course State Swimming Champs which meant that several of our regular competitors had to leave early to travel to the SA Aquatic Centre to compete in relays.

As usual the day wouldn’t have run so ‘smoothly’ without the support of the following people:
– Craig and Greg for towing our trailers
– Daryle for being the U14/15 Team Manager
– Ian, Michael, Steve, Pat H and Pat L for being our officials
– Neil for providing water cover (on the jetski of course!)
– Ailsa for taking photos (a selection of these shots are included in this post).

Even with smaller numbers we accrued quite a few valuable points for the club with several top 6 finishes.

A couple of things to highlight:
– Nic coming 2nd (only just missing out on first) in the U17 Ironperson
– Paige competing in flags and actually getting one! (on reflection we think this is the first time Paige has competed in flags since U13s!!)
– Bryana competing for the first time this season (Yr12 is a valid excuse) and coming 3rd in the U19 skis, even though she crossed the line backwards!!

Our next (and final) carnival before States will be held on Sunday 21st February.
At this stage this is scheduled to be at a south coast venue (Port Elliot, Middleton or Goolwa). SLSSA is looking at this possibly being a training and competition weekend with training/coaching clinics occuring on Saturday 20th February.
The Seniors have Club Champs the morning of the 20th so we will wait and see what the final program for this weekend looks like and make a decision as to whether we travel down for the Saturday afternoon sessions then. If this happens we may look at securing some accommodation for the Saturday night to save making this trip two days in a row. More information will be provided as it comes to hand.

Semaphore are rostered on to complete our final date in the radio room on Tuesday the 26th of January (Australia Day) between 11am-6pm. We are struggling to cover this date, due to regular members being interstate or already patrolling. If you are able to assist, even for a couple of hours please contact Georgia Robbins on 0408841160. No experience required, it is very straight forward and someone will be there to show you the ropes!

A hard fought Boat Carnival was held at Southport on the weekend enduring torturous pond conditions presenting a hard row out and back.  The U19s Boys did an amazing job to keep the Henley U19s honest by missing out on the win by less than meter for four out of the five races.   The U23 Ladies continue to improve and impress with just only a little more than four months rowing experience under their belts keeping up with the top half of the field for their races. The TROGs also showing that they can keep up with young ones over five races and were able to start keenly for all five races.

 

The Boat Naming Ceremony will be the 6th Feb at the same time as the junior Semaphore Gold event presentation. Please come and support the presentation and will be a good opportunity to meet the sponsors of the Boat and a few senior classic sweeps from the  Club.

 

Next carnival Will be the Feb 7 Brighton Jetty Classic
