The return of crew boats for all ages Rowing Victoria is incredibly pleased to announce that after much discussion with Sports and Recreation Victoria and VicSport, the Guidance list of community sport prepared by Sport and Recreation Victoria has classified rowing as a non-contact sport. As such from the ‘Third Step’ of Victorian COVID-19 restrictions we are approved to return to training in crew boats for all ages. Therefore, effective immediately rowers in Regional Victoria may return to crew rowing and Metropolitan Melbourne will be expected to join them on October the 26th. Adults will however still be limited to a maximum of 10 participants per club at one time, indoor training facilities will need to remain closed and equipment must be appropriately washed after use. Full Guidelines can be found HERE This great win will see rowing clubs across Victoria returning to a degree of normality earlier than anticipated! For more details and to follow the latest Rowing Victoria updates including the Return to Rowing Roadmap please CLICK HERE. Great work by RV President and Mercs member Joseph Joyce. Many thanks from Mercs. Vale John "Jimpy" Shears Published 22nd Septenber 2020 The following information was received today from family members Amanda Thompson, Jo Thompson and Peter Harvey. It is with a sad heart that we have to inform you that Jimpy passed away peacefully last night aged 94. He went quickly. He was well cared for at his new home Japara by lovely staff to whom he had given amusing nicknames. Not always politically correct ! He kept the photo of the the John Shears boat bedside his bed. He was very proud of this recognition. He loved the phone and email updates Jim and was very pleased to catch up with Phil. Jimpy and the "John Shears" in recent times He had been is reasonable health until recent times, always enjoying seeing his beloved Geelong football play and weekly outings to the local cafe and surf club - until COVID restrictions came in. It was distressing for all not to be allowed into the home to visit him. Amanda was diligent with her daily calls to Jimpy trying to keep his spirits up and feeling connected to the outside world. Unfortunately due to Covid restrictions we are not able to plan a funeral service as we wish. We are thinking of small family service for now and a celebration of his wonderful life when allowable. He had such great memories of his rowing days and in particular his friendships at the club. Jimpy stroking a winning lightweight maiden eight with brother Bill in the seven seat in 1946 Jimpy was one of four brothers who were all loyal and enthusiastic Mercantile members, Herbie, Ted, Bill and of course Jimpy. Jimpy first came to prominence as a coxswain in 1940 when he steered brothers Herb and Ted to a victory in the Champion Lightweight Eight. He raced successfully after WWII and was a personality at the club thereafter. He was perhaps best known for his jovial nature and wicked sense of humour. His company was always sought out. Jimpy as we knew him best Jimpy will be sadly missed and our thoughts are with his family who looked after so well, Amanda Thompson, Jo Thompson and Peter Harvey. Thank you. We also sadly farewell the end of the Shears era at the Club. Andrew Guerin Hon Secretary 22nd September 2020 Committee Nominations Published 22nd September 2020 As mentioned in the notice of meeting, now is the time to nominate for the Committee. The details are in the notice of meeting and we will publish the nominations every Saturday night until the meeting. Keep safe and go Mercs. Drink wine to help the Club, now that is an idea Published 20th September 2020 Wild Fire Wines is a premium wine producer located near Warburton in the Upper Yarra Valley. One of the owners, and the chief winemaker, is John Harry, a club member. John competed at senior level in the 60s and 70s and was Captain of the Club; he is also a major supporter and Trustee of the Mercs Foundation. Wild Fire has agreed to provide the Club with a substantial donation for each case of wine purchased by members and their friends and family. Bill Webster and Julie Orr are co- ordinating the recruitment of Mercs athletes to help publicise the sales effort. The Committee believes this program has great potential to assist our fundraising efforts and is keen for all Mercantilians to get behind it. The Committee has sampled John’s offerings and is confident that members will find the wines of excellent quality, and good value. Wild Fire won two medals at the 2019 Victorian Wine Show (Riesling and Cabernet) on its first try so its future looks promising. So, how can you help the Club? Grab some wine at www.wildfirewines.com.au and enter the code "MERCANTILE" at checkout. This ensures any sales will be attributed to the Club. Sellers Competition The Club is also holding an internal competition to incentivise sales. The athlete who sells the most wine in the next 2.5 months to the end of November will win a car pass to the restricted parking at the rear of the boathouse. If you'd like to enter, please email [email protected] to obtain your unique code that your friends and family can enter at checkout. Happy selling, and remember, each sale benefits the Club. This is an efficient and practical way for members to help the Club - we look forward to the development of the Wild Fire relationship as a solid source of funding for us for many years to come. Sydney 2000 Olympic - was it 20 years ago? Published 20th September 2020 Well it does not seem 20 years ago but it is. The heady days of the home Olympics. Some off the record photos follow that were not from the official photographers. Member Ben Dodwell returns to the boatshed after taking bronze Members James Tomkins, Noel Donaldson and Matt Long acknowledge then camera upon their return to the staging Just a fun shot of Kate Slatter and Rachael Taylor The helplessness of a coach farewelling his crew - Tim McLaren and his four who took bronze Mike McKay taking in the loss of a gold and the gaining of a silver Future President of FISA Jean-Christophe Rolland in the stroke seat forgets the golden rule of pair rowing, hold onto your oar.

    Leande r New s Leander Club Newslette r Winter 2011 Leander Crews on Top Form Henley Royal Regatta is one of the high points of the Leander season, and one that all the athletes look forward to. Visitors and athletes alike feel the build up to the Regatta from early spring as soon as work starts on the course and facilities. Once the event entries are in and the qualifiers over with, the tension begins to mount and at the draw in Henley Town Hall you will see many Leander tracksuits waiting excitedly to see who they have drawn for the first races. This year, spectators were not disappointed as Leander athletes were again involved in some fantastic races and had some well deserved wins. Our success started with Nick Middleton and Jack Hockley who, following their win in the Prince of Wales Challenge Cup last year, Captain Richard Egington teamed up with Alan Sinclair and John Collins leads the way with a win to take the trophy for a second year. Coached in the Stewards’ again by Matt Beechey, this is the first time Challenge Cup. since the event’s conception that it has been won by one club in consecutive years.

  • 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.

Very good rowing readBy CustomerGood books on rowing are few and far between. Halberstamrsquo;s the Amateurs and Topolski's True Blue being notable exceptions. If you like autobiographies Pinsent's and Foster's are both good. Murray and Bond's new book is on par with the latter two and very much deserves five stars.It's an engaging read that moves along at a decent pace and does an insightful job of showing the reader the life (including challenges) of a an elite endurance athlete.Both men come across as interesting characters, albeit with very different personalities and it is fascinating to see how together they overcame some fairly substantial disappointments to form what is arguably the greatest rowing crew of all time.The relationships with their various coaches are also covered and it is interesting to see how they achieved the results they did under the different styles.Two very minor criticisms. The finals chapters were written shortly after the Rio final and as such don't provide much in the way of retrospective observation, and as a rowing fan it would have been really interesting to have seen a table of their 2k erg times through the years.
