ROWING Colin Mattock — Director of Rowing ROWING Colin Mattock — Director of Rowing Colin Mattock is the new director of Shawnigan’s historic rowing program. Mr. Mattock has coached at multiple levels of competition. At the Victoria City Rowing Club, Colin coached U17 with top three finishes in the Men’s 8+, 4x, and 2x at the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta. He coached crews who won gold in the Women’s 8+ and 4+ in 2012. Mr. Mattock also coached the Team BC Men’s Crew to six gold medals at the 2015 Western Canada Summer Games. At the high school level, Mr. Mattock’s crews have won various medals at the Canadian Secondary Schools Rowing Championships including bronze in the Senior Women 63kg double in 2016. John Bomans — Rowing Coach John Bomans began rowing in high school and continued his career at the University of Western Ontario and with the London Rowing Club. His Lightweight 8+ crews earned gold and silver medals at the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta in St. Catharine’s and a 4th place finish at the Dad Vail Regatta. Mr. Bomans enters his ninth year of coaching at Shawnigan. He has led numerous rowers to medal finishes at the CSSRA National Regatta. He believes rowing is about the path to the finish line. Winning is the thrill but does not define the individual — racing is the reward. Arden Gill ’10 — Rowing Coach Arden Gill ’10 has been coaching at Shawnigan since 2015. As a student at Shawnigan, she won three titles at the Canadian High School National Championships. After graduating, Ms. Gill rowed for Mercyhurst University under Adrian Spracklen. As a member of the varsity eight, she was runner- up at the NCAA Rowing Championships and was a two-time gold medallist at the Dad Vail Regatta, the largest collegiate regatta in the United States. She was also a member of the Junior National program and has competed for notable clubs including Mortlake Anglian & Alpha Boat Club in England, Vesper Boat Club in Philadelphia and St. Catharines Rowing Club. For Ms. Gill, it’s not purely the results that drive her — she also wants her athletes to enjoy the sport as much as she did. It is an honour for her to help coach the next generation of Shawnigan rowers. Galen Loiselle — Rowing Coach Galen Loiselle began his rowing coaching career in 1996 at the Nanaimo Rowing Club. His 20-year career has been spread across the high school, university and adult masters levels, with crews racing at elite regattas such as the BC Summer Games, Canadian Secondary Schools Regatta, Royal Canadian Henley Regatta, Canada Cup and the Canada Summer Games. His crews won gold at the 2001 Canada Summer Games in the Heavy Men’s 8+, and the Heavy Men’s 4+. Mr. Loiselle has dedicated his time and energy to developing a robust athlete-centered sculling program for the Grade 8s at Shawnigan. The Grade 8 program is one of the few at Shawnigan where girls and boys train side by side and in mixed crews; strengthening the bonds of friendship and teamwork. Coming off a very successful season in which his Grade 8 crews won gold in three out of the four Jr. C events at the annual Shawnigan Lake Regatta, Mr. Loiselle is looking forward to welcoming a new crop of young athletes to the docks this fall. Meghan Montgomery — Rowing Coach Meghan Montgomery brings eight years of coaching experience to Shawnigan. She was a U17 and U19 boys and girls coach at the Victoria City Rowing Club for five years before starting at Shawnigan. In her first year as the senior girls coach, she took an 8+ to the Head of the Charles, won gold at CSSRA in the senior girls quad event and took the first ever girls crew to race at Henley Royal Regatta in England. Ms. Montgomery rowed for Team Canada’s para-rowing team from 2006 to 2012, and then again in 2016. She was part of the first ever crews to attend a Paralympic games for Canada in 2008, and was part of the crew that won Canada’s first ever Paralympic medal in para-rowing in 2016. Julie Platt — Rowing Coach Julie Platt’s rowing career started when she was in high school. In 1986 she won the Canadian Secondary School Rowing Championships in the Senior 2x. She continued rowing at the University of Victoria, where she was the captain of the women’s rowing team. Ms. Platt went on to have many international successes. She represented Canada at two Junior World Rowing Championships, winning two bronze medals. She has competed at four World Rowing Championships and the 1991 Pan-America Games, winning gold and silver medals in the latter. Ms. Platt also served as an alternate for the womens 8+ at two Olympic Games, in Barcelona and Atlanta. As a Shawnigan coach, she has worked with students of all ages and has led many crews to podium finishes.

    SURC Sheffield University Rowing Club Winter Newsletter 2016 A Message from the President James Palmer (President 2015-2016) With the Winter break approaching, I feel that now is a time for reflection. Personally, I look back on my first term as President with nothing but fond memories. The hard work and stress of running a sports club that I was forewarned about has been nothing but a joyous occasion. This has been the case due to the nature of the people that our club attracts. This year‟s committee are fantastic, the friendliest of faces; all with a firm grip on their positions, they make my job very easy! Their commitment and warm-heartedness is matched by every member of the club. From existing members, down to the new novices, the atmosphere within the club is energetic, welcoming, and great fun to be a part of. The disappointment of cancelled races has not deterred our spirits. Members are training harder than ever, cementing new and old friendships, and are ready for whatever the New Year may bring. 2016 is to be looked to in anticipation. On the horizon, we are looking forward to returning to Soustons for our Easter training camp, hosting alumni events and winning both head and regatta races. We are also looking to purchase a new “top” coxed four, to be shared between the Senior Squads. Once such a boat is found, we intend to name it after the late founding member, Dr Peter Cook. I sign off by wishing you all a Merry Christmas, and hope you have as much to be thankful for at the end of the year as me.

  • Cygnet Guide to Henley Royal Regatta
    THE CYGNET GUIDE TO HENLEY ROYAL REGATTA HISTORY has been kind to Henley, not least because it has long been a staunch Tory constituency (represented by the flamboyant Boris Johnston until he became London Mayor) and prides itself in self-preservation. Standing on one of the most unspoiled reaches of the river, Henley has been one of the most popular and fashionable Thames-side towns since the 18th century. The Regatta was first held on this stretch in 1839 – when it was raced in a single afternoon – and the Stewards continue to do all they can to uphold the standards and ambience of that era (but thankfully the loos have kept up with the 21st century!). Despite the unstoppable march of multi-lane courses, Henley Royal remains the club oarsman’s Olympics. QUALIFYING races have become increasingly necessary in recent years because so many of the events are over subscribed and take place on the previous Friday, 25th June. Starting in the afternoon and continuing until the early evening, they are a spectacle in themselves without all the pomp and circumstance of the following week. RACING proper begins on Wednesday 30th June and continues until Sunday 4th July. At least half of regatta goers – the corporate hospitality set – are completely unaware that any boat races take place at all! For the more dedicated spectators (eg: the Chairman and Dowager Chairman seen above), racing begins at the crack of dawn on Wednesday to Friday, usually finishing around 7pm each evening, before settling down to a more civilised hour on Saturday and Sunday (semi-finals and finals day).

  • Impact of a Single Day Major Event on a City Arup & the Boat Race Company October 2017
    The Boat Race Impact of a Single Day Major Event on a City Arup & The Boat Race Company October 2017 Executive Summary The Boat Race is an event steeped in history and tradition, with a high degree of public recognition in the UK and worldwide. Major events, of which The Boat Race is one, have undergone significant change over the last 30 years. The speed of development in equipment technology, broadcasting and spectator expectations have combined to produce events that reach far beyond their sporting origins. Through study of the economic, logistical and experiential influences on The Boat Race this document reviews the current ‘state-of-play’ for the event and makes recommendations of areas that should be considered for development in order for the event to maximise its commercial, sporting and social sustainability. Key to the future of The Boat Race is to maintain and build from its ethos of scholar athletes, elite performance, tradition and accessibility for all and to focus on how to engage with the UK and worldwide audience in order to generate income and extend the reach of the event beyond Race Day itself. The report also provides high level case studies of sporting events which have successfully managed the transition from traditional sports into highly regarded, well supported events that focus on fan experience and long term event sustainability. This document proposes that public and commercial engagement can be enhanced on various levels for The Boat Race. The report highlights the key themes for future development as digitalisation, extension of the event profile, recognition of the commercial asset, diversity of revenue streams and using the event to positively influence the sport of rowing.
