September Update
Dear GRC Members,
We hope you have all had a good summer and been staying healthy. A few updates:
RCA COVID Update
We are pleased to let you know that we can row in larger boats, effective from Monday Sept 14. The new guidelines allow for singles, doubles, pairs, quads, fours and eights for experienced rowers and those who are new to rowing contained within a cohort and where necessary, a rowing circle. Please visit RCA web site for more information and definitions.
We are also grateful to RCA for contributing $1000 to cover the cost of PPE.
Fall Programs
The U of G varsity program under the leadership of Dave Leger will begin training on Monday Sept 14. All university, RCA and GRC COVID policies and procedures will be followed. They will train in cohorts from Monday to Friday, 5-7 am. Many thanks to Fluid Design for loaning us additional shells free of charge to support this program. Expect to see 35+ athletes and coaches involved, all maintaining social distancing and wearing masks.
Also expect to see the fall high school program begin on Monday Sept 14 with approximately 15 athletes. Thanks to Isobel Grey and David Barker for again taking on our young rowers, especially with the extra COVID challenges.
Pontoon Boat
Thanks so much to all the members who worked hard to refurbish the pontoon boat for the varsity season. Special mention goes to Pat Weir for her special dedication to this project. The coaches are especially appreciative for the support. Check out the before and after photos:
Also, a big thanks to Julie for the lovely morning photos and Eric for posting them on Instagram!
Thanks,
GRC board
