HOH Mixed Gladys Team Training - UPDATED WITH CREWS

[Matt O’Neill]

Hi all,
Thanks to all who offered to help us out with training this week. I think if possible, we should take 6 people each day, just to give us all a bit of a break as well as taking hints and tips from each other and extra help getting the boat in and out on the trailer….

Tuesday 2nd March - 12:30 meet:

Karen
Lesley
Dee
Marion
Liz
Matt

Wednesday 3rd March - 13:30 meet:

Karen
Lesley
Dee
Vernon
Dave C (possibly, if feeling ok)
Matt

Thanks all, see you then
Matt





Dear HOH Mixed Gladys Team:
Karen
Lesley
Dave C
Dee

I know at least 2-3 of you have no/very little experience in rowing a Claydon at all, let alone in a race!!

So with the race only 2 weeks away, may I suggest we all get a lot of training in together.
Dee: It would be great to have you along for training too please.

Please can you all post below any free dates you have between now and race day (8th March) and we’ll see what training days we can arrange.

Many thanks
Matt

[Karen Bakovljev]

Can make 24,25, Feb 1 , 3,4,5,6,7 March (rather not do 7th as its the day before race)
Also can make pm of 26/27 or very early Sun 2

[Matt O’Neill]

Thanks for these Karen,
We’ll wait to see what the others post and put together dates from there.
Vernon has kindly offered to step in and help us train while Dave is away.

[Lesley Grainger]

Hi Matt,
I can do Thurs 27/2. If tides are ok I can do Tues 4/3, Weds 5/3 if late afternoon as I'm working.
I can also do Thurs 6/3.

[Vernon Seddon]

I can help 26th/28th Feb and 2nd/3rd/5th March, 3rd March would have to be after 12.30pm.

[Matt O’Neill]

Thanks all, I’ll have a look at tides etc and get back to you all later today.

[Dee]

I'm down to cox this crew , happy to attend dates but Pip will be joining in her tiny life jacket

[Matt O’Neill]

Hi all,
Thanks for your responses and dates/times.

It’s a little difficult getting us all together these next two weeks.
But the best times for us and tides look to be:
4th March - meet at 12:30pm
5th March - meet at 1:30pm
Weather forecast is good for both days too.

I know Vernon can’t make the 4th, but I’ll try to find us a stand-in nearer the time.

Yes please Dee, if you (and Pip) could join us both dates, that’d be great, thank you.

Getting the boat in and out on the trailer might not be the easiest, but I’m sure we’ll all manage between us!

Please post below to confirm you’re ok with these arrangements and then I’ll liaise with Mark, who is the weekly row coordinator for next week.

Many thanks
Matt

[Dee]

Both Pip and I are available

[Vernon Seddon]

I can make the 5th.
Vernon

[Lesley Grainger]

Hi Matt,
I can do both dates but I will need to go back to work after.
Thanks for organising

[Marion]

If you need an extra rower for 4th, I'm free. Not racing HoH but good practice for Cork. Won't be offended if not needed 😉

[Karen Bakovljev]

Yes I can make both dates. Thank you for organising us

[Matt O’Neill]

Yes please Marion, that would be great!
Look forward to seeing you then

[Dave & Josie]

Hi Matt,
Allowing for jet lag, Dave would be around to join you on the 5th.  Let us know 👍 Josie

[Matt O’Neill]

Hi Dave and Josie
If you could just stay in touch and let us know how Dave is feeling and if he’s up for it a day or so in advance, we can sort crews accordingly
Thanks
Matt

[Dave & Josie]

Will do 👍

[Liz Walmsley]

Hi Matt,  if you need any extras I can be around on 4th and would be good practice as I am coxing the other team!  No offence if you already have a full crew. Liz

[Dave & Josie]

Hi Matt,

Dave will be there on Wednesday for the training 👍
Thanks - Josie
