Message from the Captain for the coming season
To all members:
The club has 5 main aims/strategies for this coming season, which are:
1. Focus attention on our current members
2. Separate the training activities into racing and non-racing
3. Create more structure for training and participation, from now through to September 2012
4. Majority of the training programme and racing will be “club” based
5. Contributing to the running of the club is a requirement of membership
________________
· The club water sessions will start on Saturday 10th September 2011 at 7.30am. Please meet in the clubhouse to organise boats/crews.
· A full training programme will be published for both racing and non-racing members (please keep an eye on the noticeboards).
· A weekly club circuit session will take place at the Becket School on a Wednesday evening beginning in October 2011.
