COME FORWARD - February 2021 COME FORWARD - February 2021 There has not been a lot of rowing competition to report on over the last 6 months, due to the Covid 19 restrictions, but there has still been a lot of “background”. Administrators from Rowing Australia and Rowing NSW to all the individual Clubs have been extremely busy working towards when and how competition will resume, and how to manage training. We are fortunate that we have a sport that lends itself better than many to training under these circumstances, and it is clear that there are a lot more rowers getting out in Singles.

Mobile 0422 370 479 email [email protected] ABN 32 931 252 962 A little recent History I am including this article in this newsletter, reproduced in full from the last newsletter, in the hope that there might still be someone with first hand knowledge who could get in touch and provide more information about it. Recently, a document came to our attention. It is from 1998 and relates to the “Avenue of Champions” at the Sydney International Regatta Centre (SIRC). This is an Avenue of mostly Grevillea robusta (Silky Oak) trees planted on both sides of the access road from Gate A to the Island. Most of these trees are now quite mature with trunks around 30cm diameter and in Spring present a golden view from the course when in flower. Unfortunately, one or two of the trees succumbed to the drought during the summer months. The document is a list of NSW Australian representatives who were present when these trees were planted. Beyond that we do not know much about the event. It would be great if any Union of Rowers members who are on the list, could contact the Union and provide more detail about this event. For example, were the trees planted by those present or were they spectators. Does each tree represent a particular person? (there are no plaques on the trees) How were you contacted to be part of the day? What are your recollections of the day? We know of several who have since passed away. Any information along these lines also would be gratefully received. Here is the list copied straight from the original document (East Side refers to the side of the road closest to the Finish. West Side refers to the other side closer to the mountains) Penrith Lakes East Side West Side * (Blank) * (Blank) * Maurice Grace * (Blank) * Allan Livingstone * Denis McGuire * Robert Lee * Kim Mackney * Islay Lee * Victor Middleton * Fred Kirkham * Michael Morgan * Graham Johnson * Craig Muller * Harold Jahrling * Rodney Northham * Helen Jacobsohn * Gary Pearce * Walter Brown * Cecil Pearce * Phillip Cayzer * Matthew Pallister * David Anderson * Allan Pollock * Max Annett * Robert Paver * Edward Bromley * Edward (Ted) Pain * Graeme Allen * Karen Pollock Mobile 0422 370 479 email [email protected] ABN 32 931 252 962 * Dennis Heussner * John Ranch * Alan Grover * Peter Raper * Dennis Green * Rusty Robertson (Family) * Nim Greenwood * Robert Shirlaw * Spencer Grace * John Rodgers * A.B. “Joe” Gould * Chris Stevens * George Elias * Jim Stride * Peter Dickson * Barry Stuart * William Dankbaar * Herbert Turner * Richard Curtin * Garry Uebergang * Bryan Curtin * Barclay Wade * Donald Croot * Dr Bill Webb * Helen Brownlee * Andrew Wilson * John Boultby * Geoffrey Williamson * Phil Coles * Denis Oswald (Garden Bed) * John Coates * Don Rowlands (Garden Bed) * Sergio Orsi * Sydney Olympic Bid * Pauline Coates * Tim Conrad Scholarship Program The 2020 – 2021 Youth Development Scholarship Club is open, and Members and Friends are encouraged to participate. As a result of the early termination of the season, it was decided that potential applicants did not have the normal access to championship (and other) events where they would normally gain the credits that they would include in their applications for the NSW Union of Rowers Youth Development Scholarships. Consequently, it was decided that no Scholarships would be awarded in 2020. Potential applicants are encouraged to apply for scholarships based on their achievements in the 2020-2021 season. All those members and others who have purchased tickets in the 2019-2020 season draw are still in the draw for 2020-2021, and we encourage everyone to continue supporting the Scholarship fund by purchasing tickets in the 2020-2021 draw, thereby increasing your chances of winning the $1000 draw prize and enabling the Union to reward a greater number of applicants. There is more about the Scholarship Club later in the newsletter with ticket application form.

  • A Tribute to Nick Garratt Nicholas Richard
    A Tribute to Nick Garratt Nicholas Richard Marshall Garratt was born in Perth and educated at Aquinas College from where he matriculated in 1965. He then began a degree in Business while continuing his rowing. Nick’s rowing career, while not as illustrious as his later coaching career, is still one we could all hope to emulate, including stroking the Western Australia King’s Cup crew for three straight years. I will comment first on his achievements as a rowing coach and then, because he is so much more than a “mere” coach, on his qualities as a man. The Coach Nick has coached Australian crews in four successive Olympic Games, starting with Sydney 2000. He has coached six World Champions or medallists in Junior, Under 23 or Senior A (elite) world championships, starting in 1995. He has coached over 26 Australian National Champions. While this record over such a long time is obviously impressive – to commit to excellence and to hold to such standards takes not only complete dedication but also constant adaptation and improvement – it does not really tell the story. Nick’s crews – individuals or in bigger boats – have distinctive characteristics: they are always technically excellent as he is demanding of the highest standards; they are always totally fit, as he is fond of saying that, “The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary”. If an athlete, even a novice, will commit to Nick’s program, he or she will be rewarded with complete attention and dedication; and they are always, always ready: Nick’s crews have won races when objectively they had no reason to even get on the podium because he prepared them to race and to believe they could compete.
