Captain's Update 18 August

Afternoon all,
Hope you are all having a good summer so far. I’m currently on my way back from the alps, albeit with a bit of a limp after learning the hard way that I’m probably too old for downhill mountain biking!

Anyway, few things from me:
Start of season meeting. 
I’ll post on the WhatsApp group but I’m keen to get as many of us down at the boathouse in early September for a short meeting about the year ahead. This will be followed by an erg test so that we can get an idea of where everyone is. Possible dates are Saturday 7th September or the 14th at 0800.

S’camp.
Tom has been hard at work organising September’s camp at the bungalow (28-29 September). All the details on the website, including sign up details- please see herehttps://www.cygnet-rc.org.uk/sspage-news__amp__events-rowing_stuff-sculling_camp52.html

Logging sessions. 
It’s been great that we’ve maintained a good regular training pattern through the summer but if you are taking a boat out- either in an organised session or independently- please make sure the steer signs the boat out in the book in the changing rooms as well as on the board in boathouse. This is importance for us to log usage, and if there are any issues with boats. Speaking of which, please make sure boats are washed down after sessions. Important for maintenance but also a courtesy for the next users! 

LTR. 
Got a friend who would be interested in learning to row, or inspired from the Olympics? Then please send them a link to the LTR page on our website! Bonus points if they are at least 6ft4, can squat over 100kg and have less than 10% body fat!

Thanks all,
Dom
