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. I look forward to seeing many of you at our Alumni events in the new year. On the first day of Christmas... Following the success of the club‟s 12 days of charity event last year, we thought we‟d run a similar event this year. Starting on the 2nd December we aimed to help as many charities as possible, both practically and financially, in a 12 day period. Our members donated blood, put together Christmas boxes for the homeless and perhaps most enjoyably, spent an afternoon digging trenches at Holly Hagg Urban Farm. In addition we partook in a number of sponsored events with our Novice Men‟s Squad having their chests waxed in Bar One and some very brave rowers trying their hand at a 12km fell run. Of course no rowing club charity fundraiser would be complete without an ergathon and ours was no exception, with our members all completing at least one thirty minute slot at one of our two twelve hour rows. All the money raised will be split between Sheffield Children‟s Hospital and Sheffield University Rowing Club; with 80% going to the Children‟s Hospital. This charity means a lot to the club and after visiting in September we saw how important it is for both the children and their families. The charity‟s current campaign is called Make it Better, which aims to make the wards more comfortable and exciting for the children. We have currently smashed last year‟s total raising over £1000, however should you like to contribute our fundraising page is still open with a link to our fundraising video (http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/ showFundraiserPage.action? userUrl=SURC12daysofChristmas&faId=652227&isTeam=true) A huge amount of work was put into organising the event by our volunteering officer Daisy Ash - thank you! SURC represents at Henley At the end of last year both of our senior squads had shown vast improvement and on the advice of more experienced rowers we decided to enter 8+‟s into the academic categories at the internationally acclaimed Henley Regattas. The senior women were first to race at Henley Women‟s Regatta on 19th June. An intense week of training following the end of term led to the crew feeling confident. They had a quick paddle in the morning to familiarise themselves with the course before boating for their qualifying races, a strong row sadly left them less than 2 seconds outside of qualifying. Nevertheless they came off the water smiling and most happy that an umpire had complimented their roll up! With even stronger competi- tion at Henley Royal Regatta, the Senior Men headed down to compete at the qualifying races on 26th June - a week before the main event. Having had a few weeks to train together following the end of term, they too looked in great form. However it too was not to be nar- rowly missing out on qualifying. This experience has only fuelled our desire to do better next year and our senior crews are deter- mined to qualify this year! Races „Rain, rain go away‟ might be the most apt way to summarize the start of the race season. Our senior crews set an impressive precedent at their first race, Head of the Don, in October with both our men‟s and women‟s IM3 8‟s winning their divi- sions, along with the men‟s nov 4+ and IM3 2-; the Senior Women also impressively won the pennant for fastest women‟s crew of the day. Continuing this success we had a large number of senior entries for Dee Autumn Head however this is when the weather began to cause havoc with our race season. The ex- ceptionally high river levels lead to coxless boats being dropped from the gest advantage of the cancelation of racing schedule. Nevertheless those races was the extra training time it who did compete rowed well and gave us and this was certainly benefi- there were wins for our men‟s IM3 cial at BUCS indoors where SURC 8+ and IM3 4-, as well as our members won 3/4 of the categories. women‟s IM3 4+.

  • Cygnet Guide to Henley Royal Regatta
    THE CYGNET GUIDE TO HENLEY ROYAL REGATTA HISTORY has been kind to Henley, not least because it has long been a staunch Tory constituency (represented by the flamboyant Boris Johnston until he became London Mayor) and prides itself in self-preservation. Standing on one of the most unspoiled reaches of the river, Henley has been one of the most popular and fashionable Thames-side towns since the 18th century. The Regatta was first held on this stretch in 1839 – when it was raced in a single afternoon – and the Stewards continue to do all they can to uphold the standards and ambience of that era (but thankfully the loos have kept up with the 21st century!). Despite the unstoppable march of multi-lane courses, Henley Royal remains the club oarsman’s Olympics. QUALIFYING races have become increasingly necessary in recent years because so many of the events are over subscribed and take place on the previous Friday, 25th June. Starting in the afternoon and continuing until the early evening, they are a spectacle in themselves without all the pomp and circumstance of the following week. RACING proper begins on Wednesday 30th June and continues until Sunday 4th July. At least half of regatta goers – the corporate hospitality set – are completely unaware that any boat races take place at all! For the more dedicated spectators (eg: the Chairman and Dowager Chairman seen above), racing begins at the crack of dawn on Wednesday to Friday, usually finishing around 7pm each evening, before settling down to a more civilised hour on Saturday and Sunday (semi-finals and finals day).

  • Impact of a Single Day Major Event on a City Arup & the Boat Race Company October 2017
    The Boat Race Impact of a Single Day Major Event on a City Arup & The Boat Race Company October 2017 Executive Summary The Boat Race is an event steeped in history and tradition, with a high degree of public recognition in the UK and worldwide. Major events, of which The Boat Race is one, have undergone significant change over the last 30 years. The speed of development in equipment technology, broadcasting and spectator expectations have combined to produce events that reach far beyond their sporting origins. Through study of the economic, logistical and experiential influences on The Boat Race this document reviews the current ‘state-of-play’ for the event and makes recommendations of areas that should be considered for development in order for the event to maximise its commercial, sporting and social sustainability. Key to the future of The Boat Race is to maintain and build from its ethos of scholar athletes, elite performance, tradition and accessibility for all and to focus on how to engage with the UK and worldwide audience in order to generate income and extend the reach of the event beyond Race Day itself. The report also provides high level case studies of sporting events which have successfully managed the transition from traditional sports into highly regarded, well supported events that focus on fan experience and long term event sustainability. This document proposes that public and commercial engagement can be enhanced on various levels for The Boat Race. The report highlights the key themes for future development as digitalisation, extension of the event profile, recognition of the commercial asset, diversity of revenue streams and using the event to positively influence the sport of rowing.
