Cambois
Rowing Club

Cambois Rowing Club are holding open days on Saturday 20th August and Sunday 21st August from 9am-12pm.

This is a chance for anyone who is interested to try out rowing. You will be shown the basic stroke on a rowing machine indoors, before being taken out on the river to put what you have learnt into practice in a boat.

If you enjoy the experience, there will be the opportunity to sign up for a “Learn to Row” course, where you will be taught to row over a number of weeks.

There is no need to book for the open days, just turn up between the times shown, and club members will be around to help you.

It’s advisable to wear sports clothing when you come down – nothing too baggy, and not jeans. Bring a few layers, as you may get quite warm, but can cool down quickly.

Cambois Rowing Club are currently seeking to appoint a volunteer Head Coach with immediate effect, to work alongside the Captain and current coaches.

Main responsibilities will include:

• Liaising with the coaches and captain to ensure the delivery of the coaching programme to adults and juniors through the agreed coaching structure.
• Ensure appropriate allocation of seniors entering the Club at different levels, including Learn to Row, to squads.
• Ensuring appropriate progression of juniors from Learn to Row into age based squads.
• Ensuring all newcomers are aware of the coaching structure.
• Organising the training of Junior Leaders.
• Organising rotas of coaches and volunteers, and ensuring all involved comply with requirements of the Welfare Officer.
• Other related activities as required by the Committee.

You would be expected to hold a current British Rowing Level 2 (or equivalent) coaching qualification, and to keep up to date with British Rowing development activities aimed at coaches and those involved in training juniors.

If you wish to apply, please contact David Manning (01670 512789; manningdavid@me.com).

In your application, please supply details of DBS status, coaching qualifications and evidence of attendance at British Rowing training/development events within the last 3 years.

Please also supply your ideas for the coaching structure of the club, which would need to be agreed by the committee.

Closing date for applications: Friday 5th August

Another couple of slight changes to the draw.   We had a crew pull out of Nov. 4+  so the remaining crew has been bumped up to IM3. 4+    and Race2 has been put back in to Division 1 as the semi final for this.

We had two IM2.1x scullers from the same club and they requested to move to Eli.1x  . The existing competitors in E.1x and the regatta committee were happy for this to happen so the new merged event has been redrawn and the semi finals will take place in Div 2 and the final in Div 3 to allow for potential doubling up issues.

And finally we had a scratch in W.J13.1x which made the draw lopsided (3 races for some and a bye straight to the final for one) so we've levelled this out.

The final draw therefore is now available.   We will not be making any further changes before the event - and any scratched crews will just need to inform the regatta committee / race control as per usual.
