3    North Island Champs on 13 March and MAADI on 27 March. Masters please be aware that training (and therefore angst) intensifies for schools now. Just let them have priority and everything will be sweet.

Maintenance of Club boats

There’s a drive on at present to get all boats through a once-over: we need to identify issues and get each boat in turn at least cleaned and sprayed and thoroughly tightened. We’re trying to get just enough people along each session rather than everyone. There is a roster, but we’ll just be carrying out work relevant to the number of people present. If you can’t make a rostered session, that’s okay. However be aware that we’ll need everyone at least once a month for a while. At the very least you will learn something new about the boats. And if you know things that others don’t it‘s a good opportunity to share it.


Thanks to the 8 people who came along today. Two boats down – 10 to go!
