Club's Forum

Hey Folks, We were hoping to hold the AGM virtually, but unfortunately the constitution doesn't currently allow for this. We have a number of proposals for changing the constitution at this AGM, so it's essential that it's undertaken properly. For now we'll have to defer until such time as we can gather enough members in person. We'll have an update once the restrictions are eased. In the meantime we have put together the officers' reports and members' accounts of some of last year's rowing activities for you. We hope you'll enjoy. View Newsletter It is the intention for all the officers of the committee to remain in their current positions for 2021. Stephen Heaphy, Karen Kelly, Kate Magner & Alan Murphy will be standing down, we thank them for their contribution in what has been a truly unusual year. We also welcome onboard Celine Dennehy, Ruth Hargrove & Kieran Murphy. If anyone else is interested in joining the committee this year, please get in touch, we are particularly keen to have someone representing those who participate in the regattas.

Following discussion by the committee, in relation to the recent increase to Level 5 of the government's Living with Covid Plan, the decision has been taken to suspend all club rowing activities, effective immediately until further notice.  Any changes in these circumstances, as always, will be communicated by email, Facebook Group & Forum. 

As you will know, the whole country has increased to Level 3 of the Government's roadmap today, following the weekend's NPHET meeting. The committee need to take some time to review our current protocols in a little more detail, to ensure we're doing everything possible to limit risks to members, their families and those who are most vulnerable in our community, in addition to meeting the roadmap's requirements.  In the meantime , rowing will continue to our current protocols, but must meet social distancing requirements (1 rower to a 2 hand boat, 2 rowers to 3 hand boat) unless crew are from the same household. Please remember to: 📖 Familiarise yourself with the protocols 👨🏻‍✈️ Respect the instructions given by Duty Captains 🤲🏻 Maintain good hand hygiene  ⏪⏩ Socially distance before, during and after your row.
