Club's Forum

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. 

In accordance with Tuesday's Goverment announcement we've amended the rowing protocols to incorporate the new public health measures, notable changes include: We are again limited to 15 members per row. This will be on a first come/ first served basis. Please respect the Duty Captain if you are turned away. We have reinstated the Saturday Captain Rota. Additionally we have made some changes to the schedule, Saturday row will now revert to it's normal time of 10:30am and we have removed the Thursday evening row from the schedule due to lack of interest. SCHEDULE NOW AS FOLLOWS: Mon 18:00 Tues 07:00 Weds 18:00 Thurs 07:00 Sat 10:30 Sun 14:00 An email has gone out to all members with a link to both the updated protocols & the updated Captain's rota.
