CLUB WAIKATO Club Waikato Rowing Supporters Inc CLUB WAIKATO Club Waikato Rowing Supporters Inc. Hi All, from the President, June 2012 These are exciting times. It is just Two Months until the start of the London Olympics. Our New Zealand team has many arms of brilliance with some being cycling, athletics, canoeing and of course rowing and the triathlon, our hockey teams may be the dark horses. Our thoughts and support go out to our rowing lightweight 4 and men’s 8 who just failed in a final qualifying opportunity. Duncan Grant, one of the 4 rowers, is already talking about his next opportunity in 4 years – amazing dedication and positivity from our athletes. On the home front, we report a very successful awards night held at our town house and the proposal to build in our upstairs terrace, to provide more room to work on ergs, ect. The New Zealand Secondary School Champs at Maadi at Twizel produced medals for Boys High and Waikato Diocesan. Girl’s High proved to be very competitive in fields with up to 45 entries. Well done to all! The Club offers a big welcome to our new school and rowers from St John’s College. Ross Tong, a well known rowing identity will be leading the coaching and care of our new members. This will boost our daily activity of school participation to around 150 athletes per day, with Club activity, including the boating of men and women 8s and 4s, plus a full boat shed at Karapiro, which also houses our Waikato RPC. We are privileged and proud of be part of the Waikato Club family. Cheers, Gil. Other Notices: > The 2012 Waikato Rowing Club AGM will be held on July 17th at 7:30 at the WRC town sheds. > Waikato Rowing Club is also in the process of planning an extension onto our rowing club as our numbers continue to build; the first stage of this involves extending out the eastern wall of the erg room. Waikato Rowing Club well represented around the country by Barry Robinson While attending the Maadi Cup regatta at Lake Ruataniwha in March this year, I noticed a number of Waikato Rowing Club members and past members who were coaching rowing at various levels. When I looked into the numbers, I was amazed at the quality of the people who were improving the standard of rowing at all levels in N.Z. The following is a list of those who I knew.

The St John’s College has chosen to conduct its rowing program under the Waikato Rowing Club banner. I wish to thank the Waikato Rowing club executive for making the move possible and things have progressed that we now have our boats in the town shed. The move has all gone very smoothly. The parents were most impressed when shown around the club. The College, Rowers, and parents are excited about the move and looking forward to the coming season. St John’s currently has 18 athletes but hopes are this will grow to 24 for the coming season.

The eleven clubs which formed the Association were Canterbury, Lyttelton, Union (of Christchurch), Nelson, Union (of Wanganui), North Shore, Blenheim, Avon, Timaru, Wellington and Star Boating Club. Between then and now, the numbers have grown to 61 active clubs affiliated with the Association. In 1902, the association decided to administer the sport on a regional basis under a central managing body. Nine local provincial associations were established a year later; Auckland, Canterbury, Hawkes Bay (now East Coast), Marlborough, Nelson, Otago, Southland, Wanganui and Wellington. Nelson then absorbed into Marlborough and in 2000 Auckland split into three; Auckland, Waikato and Bay of Plenty. The first New Zealand Rowing National Championships were held in 1888 for fours and singles (men only), with more boats classes added over the years. The first women’s race at a National Champs regatta was held in 1967. The first interschool race was held in Wellington in 1889. 1947 saw the first Maadi Cup held in Wanganui and was the point at which school rowing began to flourish; this growth initiated the formation of a New Zealand Secondary Schools Rowing Association in 1967 and secondary school rowing numbers continue to expand in leaps and bounds today. New Zealand rowers began international racing in 1919 and in the following year our first Olympic medal was won by Darcy Hadfield in the single scull. Our New Zealand elite squad continue to do us proud with their world class level of rowing being the envy of many countries and prove to be a threat at international regattas. The introduction of regional performance centres have lifted the standard of rowing across the country. An important milestone was the opening of our Gallagher High Performance Centre at Lake Karapiro in 2010 – a world class facility that allows our international crews to excel. The success of our Karapiro based crews in the past few years has delighted us and we look forward to following their success in the coming Olympic Games.

    Canterbury Conservation Management Strategy Volume 1 Published by Department of Conservation/Te Papa Atawhai Private Bag 4715 Christchurch New Zealand First published 2000 Canterbury Conservation Management Planning Series No. 10 ISSN: 1171-5391-10 ISBN: 0-478-01991-2 Foreword Canterbury is rich in its variety of indigenous plants and animals, its historic heritage and relics, and its landscapes. Its physical features are dramatic, ranging from the majestic Southern Alps to the Canterbury Plains, from forested foothills to rocky coastlines and sandy beaches. These features also provide a wealth of recreational opportunities. The Department of Conservation’s Canterbury Conservancy is responsible for some 1293 units of land, and for the protection of important natural resources generally. To help manage these resources and activities the Conservancy, in consultation with the then North Canterbury and Aoraki Conservation Boards, has prepared a Conservation Management Strategy (CMS). The CMS sets out the management directions the Conservancy will take for the next ten years, the objectives it wants to achieve and the means by which it will achieve these. The draft CMS was released for public comment on 18 November 1995. Submissions closed on 1 April 1996, and 174 were received. Public oral submissions were heard in May and June of 1996. Consultation with Ngäi Tahu Papatipu Rünanga occurred from July to December 1996, and with Te Rünanga o Ngäi Tahu from July 1996 to May 1997. A summary of submissions and a decision schedule indicating the extent of acceptance of all submissions was prepared and given full consideration in revising the draft CMS. The revised draft CMS and summary of submissions was presented to the Conservation Boards for their consideration.
