  • Rowonec News
    ROWONEC NEWS October 2018 UPCOMING EVENTS AGM - ONEC’s annual general meeting will take place on October 23 at Elmwood School. Directors will present their seasonal reports; financial statements will be presented, and a new board of directors will be voted in. All ONEC members should attend. Boats up - All hands are needed to store the boats and get the boathouse ready for the winter. October 27 is the date (rain date Sunday October 28). DIRECTORS REPORT The National Capital Commission is planning to accelerate the ONEC Boathouse restoration. The Boathouse will be restored and winterised on the three floors. There should be a restaurant on the ballroom level, but the upper deck is supposed to be open to the public. Most importantly the washrooms will be modernised and hooked up to the City’s sewage system. ONEC is a ‘legacy tenant’ of the boathouse and will have use of the boat storage floor and deck area. They have said that they will support us completely in the transition. We are meeting the NCC later in the week and then on an ongoing basis and we will provide more information once we have it. Kudos to all our volunteer coaches who helped to improve our sculling training. This was a major improvement this year. Thanks also to all who maintain the equipment and docks. All things must come to an end. It looks like we will move to ‘yellow season’ (restricted rowing due to cold water) very soon. After that we hope everyone can come to the Boats UP on Saturday, October 27.

  • 2004 Head of the Fish Regatta
    2004 Head of the Fish Regatta Entry Packet and General Information The 19th annual Head of the Fish Regatta, co-hosted by the Saratoga Springs Rowing Club and the Saratoga Rowing Association, will be held Saturday, October 30th, 2004. This year the regatta will be held on the same 2 ½ mile course as it has been used for the past 18 years. As was recently instituted, the warm-up lane will remain such that there is no need to cross the racing lane when launching or landing. We hope you will be able to join us on the 30th for the Head of the Fish Regatta – home of great water, and the best trophies and t-shirts on the circuit. IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR 2004 1. All registration will be handled online this year at www.RegattaCentral.com. Deadlines will be strictly enforced. We will NOT exceed 1000 entries. 2. Official Regatta Venue – Two years ago we had a change in this area. The regatta venue moved from the NYS boat launch facility to Lee’s Park, located just on the other side of the Boat launch (see enclosed map). The move to Lee’s Park more than tripled the available space for the regatta. (Note: Car topped boats remain based in the NYS boat launch) It also allowed the addition of vendors and concessions. The Waterfront Restaurant, a secondary venue used in the past, is no longer used by the regatta. The finish line remains unchanged. 3. Entry Deadline – The regatta entry deadline will be strictly enforced. All regatta entries must be completed online no later than October 17th, 2004.

  • Blood Street Sculls Crew Parent Handbook 2015
    Blood Street Sculls Crew Parent Handbook 2015 Welcome This handbook is for parents and/or guardians of rowers and students considering taking up the sport of rowing. It addresses only the programs run by Blood Street Sculls . Information regarding the Lyme Old Lyme High School (LOHS) rowing program is addressed in a separate manual created by Lyme Old Lyme High School. Old Lyme has deep roots in the sport of rowing, thanks in a great part to Mr. Fred Emerson, a Lyme resident who enthusiastically donated many hours of his life and financial support to the Blood Street Sculls. Our current boathouse is named after him and the original boathouse still stands on Blood Street. He is also credited with starting many other rowing programs in the United States, including, Trinity College and the Coast Guard Academy. Old Lyme Rowing Association (OLRA) was created in 1983 as the umbrella organization that supports rowing in Lyme and Old Lyme. The primary mission of OLRA is to support LOLHS crew through the purchase of boats and other equipment. In addition, OLRA under the auspices of Blood Street Sculls, hosts community based learn to row, recreational and competitive rowing programs for sixth graders through adults, under the name of Blood Street Sculls.
