LONDON ROWING CLUB Newsletter LONDON ROWING CLUB Newsletter October 2010 Delayed gratification In some hard fought racing at the climax of the domestic season, LRC came tantalisingly close to two Henley trophies, but had to settle for a clutch of National Championship titles instead.

  • 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.

  • Frederick Kelly, 1881-1916 Frederick Kelly – the Rower
    Draft set.pdf 1 04/11/2015 14:14 Frederick Kelly, 1881-1916 Frederick Kelly – the rower While he never rowed competitively for Marlow, Frederick Septimus Kelly is probably the most famous of the rowers commemorated on the Club’s war memorial. Frederick was born in Sydney, Australia in 1881 and was educated at Eton and then Balliol College, Oxford. Frederick’s rst success as a rower was when he stroked the Eton College eight to victory in the Ladies’ Challenge Plate at Henley Royal Regatta in 1899. He won a music scholarship to Oxford University and continued to row there as a student. He took up sculling while at Oxford and won the Diamond Challenge Sculls at Henley in 1902. He rowed in the losing Oxford crew in the Boat Race in 1903, but again won the Diamond Challenge Sculls at Henley that summer. On leaving Oxford in 1903, Frederick rowed at Leander Club and was in the Leander crews which won the Grand Challenge Cup at Henley Regatta in 1903, 1904 and 1905 and the Stewards’ Challenge Cup in 1906. In 1905 he again won the Diamond sculls, his time of 8 minutes and 10 seconds standing as a course record for over 30 years. His nal competitive C M race was in the 1908 Olympics in London when he rowed as a member of the Great Britain Y CM crew that won gold medal. MY Programme for the 1908 Olympic Games CY held in London CMY K Aer retiring from competitive rowing, Frederick moved to Bisham where he continued to scull regularly along the stretch of the river between Marlow Bridge and Temple.

  • Totally Oarsome…
    Leander New s Leander Club Newslette r Winter 2010 Totally Oarsome… Leander has had another very strong year in 2010. We have produced winning crews at every level and with the World Championships less than a week away, there is promise of yet more success for Leander athletes and coaches in New Zealand. These Championships are two months later than usual to fit in with the New Zealand summer, and as a result it seems strange to be reflecting on the season thus far when it is not yet finished. One of the positives of this situation is that it reduces the amount of winter training that many of us will have to do for the 2011 season! The most recent addition to the team is Beijing silver medallist Debbie Flood, who following a training camp in Germany has been confirmed as competing in the women’s quad - the boat in which she has twice won silver at successive Olympic Games.
