The Windsor Boys' School Boat Club 75Th Anniversary THE WINDSOR BOYS’ SCHOOL BOAT CLUB 75TH ANNIVERSARY SPEECH 1940‐2015 MD Wilkinson OCTOBER 2, 2015 CELEBRATED AT QUEEN’S EYOT The Windsor Boys’ School Boat Club 75th Anniversary Speech 1940‐ 2015 “UNO ANIMO” 1 The Windsor Boys’ School Boat Club 75th Anniversary Speech 1940‐ 2015 Firstly thank you for coming. It is great to see so many people from so many generations here! A couple of questions for you: ‐ Did you know that in 1940 Chris Morrell was not a coach at the boat club? Did you know that Chris Morrell had not actually been born? That actually makes the boat club older than Chris! I am sure you are now sitting there thinking “how is this possible?” 75 years. 75 Years! of The Windsor Boys’ School Boat Club. Did you know that Eton Excelsior is responsible for starting rowing at the school? Basically we are a community outreach programme. Did you know that actually it was Latymer Boys School, a highly rated private school who were evacuated from Central London to Windsor and took lessons at Windsor County School for boys during the war who were actually the first school to be part of the Eton Excelsior Outreach vision? Did you know that the biggest issue with running the boat club at the school in 1940 was a “lack of money”? And coaching resources? And a lack of storage? And blades and decent boats? How times change! The older I have got the more interested in history I have become. The reason is simple, I find it fascinating and also quite humbling. My whole life has been shaped by what happened in the past. In rowing we uniquely, in sport, travel backwards when competing and training. This may make it difficult to steer, but the skilled will be able to steer their boat from looking backwards, and understand where they are on the river. Life can be the same – to really understand where you are going, it is important to understand how you got there in the first place; why things happen the way they do. The history of WBSBC is quite fascinating. You all know that I am an old boy. For the current boys, this means one thing – we are the same – I may be older than you, but I am a Windsor Boy just like you, the life you lead is almost identical to the one that I led when I was your age, as it is for other generations. This connects us. It is a connection that you will appreciate more and more as you get older. You will understand it most as you leave the school and the boat club. 2 The Windsor Boys’ School Boat Club 75th Anniversary Speech 1940‐ 2015 This will happen – it is inevitable. It is the way it is, and the way it has always been. I am not better than you, I just have the benefit of having done what you are doing already and thus the lessons the Boat Club teaches are intrinsically in me, as they are becoming in you. When you leave the place physically, you will quickly realise however, the Boat Club actually never leaves you, it stays in you, and the skills that you don’t know you are learning, but have, will kick in. You will realise that working hard is actually not normal in life, but that you have the ability naturally to do so – rowing gave you that. You will notice, as you progress, that commitment and dedication to achieving a dream is also not normal – but that you have that skill too – and that you have it naturally – rowing gave you that. You will realise that communication is essential in making progress in life and you will notice just how poor some people are at this, but you will realise that you have the skills and the know‐how to work as a team and how to get the best out of people – rowing gave you that. You will see that most people don’t necessarily believe in what is possible and what they are capable of – they have no idea, but you do. You believe that anything is possible. You believe that there are no limitations, except the limitations that you put on yourself. But that those limitations are beatable. You also know that no‐one deserves anything, but that you can earn it. Rowing gave you that knowledge, rowing taught you that lesson a thousand times. And more importantly, The Windsor Boys’ School Boat Club taught you that. You will then realise that the Boat Club is in you and that despite you leaving it, it will never leave you. This is way more than just an afterschool club. This is not school at all. This is a way of life. History shows the way of life we have now has been totally built in the past – we do what we do, we have the opportunity we have, and we dream the dreams we dream, because of countless generations making it what it is today. History shows, and makes us believe it is possible. History makes us want to be part of it. History inspires us to commit, to dedicate, to work hard, to sweat, to bleed, to cry, to laugh, to get up early, to go to bed early, to endure the savage cold of winter out on the water, to sit on a rowing machine for hours on end, to shake a bucket in the street, load trailers all the time, to ensure our school work is done, and so it goes on. We believe it is possible. It is a way of life. The Windsor Boys’ School Boat Club is a way of life. However it was not always this way. 3 The Windsor Boys’ School Boat Club 75th Anniversary Speech 1940‐ 2015 IN THE BEGINNING Prior to 1940, the only rowing that happened in Windsor was at Eton Excelsior Rowing Club. In 1940 all this was to change, as the EERC membership looked to bolster their dwindling membership caused by the huge war effort, and offer the chance of rowing to what was at the time, Windsor County Boys School. Indeed the minutes from Windsor County Boys School April 1940 committee meeting clearly record the following: “The sec reported he had been in touch with the Headmaster and suggested 10 shillings per boy for 3 periods a week between Mid‐April to the end of July. That if this were to be agreed, the boys should come down under the supervision of Mr Mayes at times to be arranged” “It was agreed by the committee, and that the details were to be left to the secretary and Mr Mayes to arrange as they thought best, but that the boys were not allowed to use the pleasure boats”. Progress was subsequently made and as such the next committee meeting in May of 1940 reported that: “Times of boating would be Wednesday, Thursday and Friday between 2pm and 4pm, and on Tuesday between 4pm and 6pm. And so it was that in the summer of 1940, boys from the Windsor County Boys School began rowing at Eton Excelsior rowing club. The EERC AGM minutes of March 1941, clearly reports that “an arrangement was made with Windsor County Boys’ School for boys to boat from our premises three afternoons per week under the supervision of masters of the school. 16 boys so far have been taught the art of rowing and waterman ship” The “Rowing Club” as it was known, was also formally reported on for the first time in the autumn of 1940 in the schools own magazine, The Windsorian. “Last term the School added a new activity to its list. “It’s an ill wind that blows nobody any good,” and it was mainly because of the depleted strength of the Eton Excelsior Rowing Club under war conditions that we were able to see a number of senior boys turning into efficient oarsmen. We are very grateful to Eton Excelsior for the facilities they allowed us and in particular to Mr. V.Wood, 4 The Windsor Boys’ School Boat Club 75th Anniversary Speech 1940‐ 2015 the Deputy Captain and an old boy of the School, who worked so strenuously on our behalf and devoted so much of his time to the coaching of our crews.” “We cannot claim any sensational successes for our first season on the new element. Twenty‐six boys began from scratch, and to see that each of these had two outings per week at least was rather exhausting at the beginning.” “We should like next season to be able to buy a set of oars as a small beginning. Any help towards the establishment of rowing as a permanent School activity would be most gratefully appreciated.” The 1940s saw of course a bitter war throughout Europe and it really is remarkable that in this period rowing was established at the school. Despite the war, just one year after the initial conception of rowing at the school, the following was written in the Windsorian Magazine, highlighting the rapid growth and interest in the sport “The Rowing Club has had a full list of fixtures this season. Racing started on June 28th, when the 1st Four went to Marlow to row against Borlase. Windsor was represented by S. Sayer (bow), J. C. Sampson, A. G. Simpson, P. I. Togni (stroke and captain), A. C. D’Albertanson (cox). Windsor started well and soon drew away from Borlase, who were attempting a high rate of striking without success.

  • MAKING PROGRESS a Guide to the New ARA Points Scheme for Event Organisers
    NATIONAL COMPETITION COMMITTEE EVENT ORGANISERS’ GUIDE MAKING PROGRESS April 2009 A Guide to the new ARA Points scheme for Event Organisers INTRODUCTION The purpose of this guide is to explain the detailed changes to the ARA points scheme that apply from April 2009, and to provoke your thinking on how best to structure your event to take advantage of the changes. If you have any questions about the mechanics of the new scheme, or want to pursue some of the ideas for developing your event referred to in this guide, please get in touch with the National Competition Committee – either directly or through your ARA Divisional Representative. THE CHANGES For the past three years the National Competition Committee has been trying to address the growing problem of an imbalance in the distribution of points amongst the ARA’s 13,000 registered adult competitors. Under the present scheme there are 14 levels (Novice and then 0‐12 points), and yet half those competitors are Novices, and 90% have less than 5 points. We wanted simple, effective remedies, and the April 2009 changes are just that: they’re easy to understand and easy to implement. It means that when you go racing, you’re more likely to meet evenly matched competition, and that as you move up the points table, you’ll continue to get some decent racing. By far the simplest solution is to award more points to more winners, and so make full use of the points table. And the simplest way to achieve that is to turn most wins into qualifying wins: this change alone will double the number of points won each year at ARA regattas.

  • Station History
    STATION HISTORY Historically the principal sports at Westminster School are rowing (known as Water), football and cricket. All three have a long tradition at the School, dating back to the 18th century and the distant origins of these sports. The School can rightfully claim a place in their annals – the first known cricket match between public schools was Westminster v Harrow in 1796, the Westminster colours were chosen after rowing against Eton in 1837 and the School competed against Charterhouse in the first ever inter-school football matches in 1863. Sport at Westminster All pupils at Westminster participate in a wide variety of sporting activities, known as Station, on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. If pupils are involved in a competitive Station, they will also have fixtures on Saturday afternoons. At the start of the academic year national levels and benefit from the in September, each pupil chooses tuition of professional coaches, a Station to pursue throughout the several of whom have represented Play and Lent Terms.

  • The “HENLEY ROYAL REGATTA”
    The “HENLEY ROYAL REGATTA” Storia La “Henley Regatta” si tenne per la prima volta nel 1839; da allora, eccetto che nel corso dei due conflitti mondiali, essa è stata ripetuta ogni anno. Nelle intenzioni del sindaco di Henley-on-Thames che la volle, la gara fra imbarcazioni a remi lungo il tratto di Tamigi che bagna tale delizioso borgo dell’Oxfordshire doveva invero costituire semplicemente uno dei vari momenti di divertimento, insieme a giostre e altri generi di attrazioni, di un annuale festival cittadino; nel volgere di pochi anni, però, la componente remiera della festa sarebbe diventata l’esclusivo motivo d’interesse per la folla colà convenuta. Nella sua prima edizione, la Regatta - che è articolata in vari “eventi” (tornei), a ciascuno dei quali è associato uno specifico trofeo - si svolse nell’arco di un solo pomeriggio. L’iniziativa tuttavia incontrò un tale favore tra i canottieri britannici che già dall’anno successivo - dato l’elevato numero delle iscrizioni e, di conseguenza, delle gare eliminatorie - per il suo svolgimento occorsero due giornate; nel 1886 la durata della manifestazione dovette essere estesa a tre giorni e poi a quattro nel 1906. La competizione diventò via via popolarissima anche a livello internazionale, fino ad essere considerata, nella prima metà del secolo scorso, una sorta di campionato mondiale (il primo Campionato del Mondo ufficiale sarebbe stato indetto dalla F.I.S.A. 1 soltanto nel 1962, con sede di svolgimento a Lucerna). Nel 1928 le richieste di iscrizione superavano ormai di gran lunga il limite massimo e da allora è pertanto prevista una fase di preselezione, che si svolge una settimana prima della Regatta .2 Essa nel 1986 è stata altresì portata a cinque giorni, 1 Fédération Internationale des Sociétés d'Aviron , ossia la Federazione internazionale di canottaggio.
