St Luke's Rowing Training- UPDATE

St Luke's Rowers & Parents

 

Our coaches had a  meeting last night and decided we will start training for the upcoming Head of River.  The Burnett River is still not available for training and looks like will be another 3 weeks.

Our only way to train is at Bucca so the coaches have set the next 4 Saturdays as St Luke's Training Days. (May 4th, 11th, 18th, 25th)  I have attached our training schedule for the next month.  Please be aware that it will not be an easy task as we have 63 rowers this year and we have to transport all our boats to Bucca every Saturday.

This Saturday, each group is to meet with their coach at the allotted time and then each coach will work with their team.

 

Before any student can row on Saturday, fees & membership form must be given to Mrs Weston.  All students should have received the BRC Membership Form but if they haven't, contact either myself or Mrs Weston.

The fees this year for the HOR series is $150.  This consists of $135 for the Rowing Club to pay for the insurance and $15 to St Lukes for our Boat Usage Fund.  This year we have reduced our fee from $50 to $15 due to the short season.  $15 helps to put fuel into the cars of all our wonderful drivers who tow the trailer with all our boats and for fruit & powerade for the students. Any student that has already paid their fees direct to the club, please make sure you still pay the $15 to Mrs Weston.

The dates for the HOR are still only provisional and will be set definite once training has began on the River and all necessary clearances have been given.  At this stage the first Lead-up will be the 11th August and Head of River 25th August.

Please contact me if you have any queries.

Thanks
