Both did not have an easy ride of it with MUBC pushing Mercs the whole way through the race. Our girls won by 4.5 seconds with MUBC and a Queensland composite crew second and third respectively with almost no margin between them. Our star studded crew was as follows, we even have an Australian representative miss out on the crew!

Above: From Morell Bridge Presentations The men’s open eight was a stacked field. The winning crew was a composite SUBC which contained the Australian men’s four who had won the FISA male crew of the year – the most successful crew in World Rowing in 2018. Congratulations to them on their row on Saturday and their prestigious award the night before. The other crews, including our own, was not too shabby either.

Perhaps the best of them was our G crew (average age 65) which included the Club’s benefactor and great friend of the Club, Sean Colgan. He raced with Ian Duthie (USA), Rod Stewart (UK), Tony Spriggins from Adelaide, Captain Bill Webster, Smokey Dawson and life member Andrew Guerin to name some of the crew. The crew did not get its final combination together until the day but managed a couple of rows on Thursday and Friday in various guises. This crew finished second in their division. Our President also raced in an E division crew which finished third. Most importantly, no one died in the making of these masters races!! Above: Some of masters crews after the racing Another superb Head of the Yarra although some of us wonder how many more we should do? Naming of the Sean Colgan and Dr Bibi Colgan eights Published 23rd November 2018 The Club was fortunate to have Sean Colgan in town to enable the Sean Colgan and Dr Bibi Colgan eights to be named. This was done with great style by Sean before a group of mixed young and masters rowers. Well done Sean and thank you for your continued great support for the Club. Above: Dr Bibi Colgan named by Sean Above: The Sean Colgan being named New Member Profile – Kat Werry Published 19th November 2018 In time for the Head of the Yarra this weekend, at which Kat will be competing, we bring you her member profile. Along with her fellow Mercantile members at the National Training Centre, she will race in our women’s open eight. It is a superb eight and it is great to see Kat and her colleagues back at the Club. Her profile is most interesting and important. Please keep the profiles coming through. Above: Kat on the podium at the 2018 World Championships Our Spanish Import for the Head of the Yarra Published 19th November 2018 Captain Bill Webster has alerted your correspondent to keep an eye out for Anna Boada, our Spanish import, at the Club in the pre Christmas period. Anna will be in the 7 seat of our Women’s Open 8+ this Saturday in the Head of the Yarra. She is training with us until Xmas and possibly (hopefully) longer, depending on Spanish team permission. Anna is an exceptional athlete and I quote from the World Rowing website in their section on “The year that was…the pair”. Biggest Surprise: Aina Cid and Anna Boada Peiro of Spain. They took bronze at the World Championships and also medalled at World Rowing Cup I. Maybe not a complete surprise as they have been climbing the ranks in recent years with an A-final finish at the Rio Olympics. Spain’s rising stars.

He will be racing in the Head of the Yarra on the Saturday in a crew of several people who have travelled the world to join him in this race. He will do the honours on Thursday night at 6pm on both the Sean Colgan and the Dr Bibi Colgan. There will be rowing in big boats thereafter followed by a BBQ and drinks at Trader’s Bar – where else.

  • SURC Sheffield University Rowing Club
    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.
