Mid Week Row Thursday 24 March

[Mark Taylor]

It's my turn to organise the mid week row. I propose Thursday 24 March meet at 14:00. HW is 16:00 at 4.2 mtrs. Weather forcast is currently Light winds from the East and dry and sunny.

Plan for the afternoon is twofold:-

A row will take place down Chichester Harbour, possibly with a trip to Emsworth and then back.

I will specifically take a Claydon out to offer training in rowing technique relating to "feathering" oars. Much of our rowing has been affected by strong winds recently. It is important that we all have the ability to feather oars to avoid our blades acting as air brakes in strong winds.  So, if you would like to take part in this, please indicate when you post.

[Liz Walmsley]

Yes please for me Mark. Happy that I can confidently feather….

[James Griffin]

yes please (i can feather)

[Claire Tomlinson]

I’d like to row but would need to be finished by 5:30.
If that works with you I’ll join you, but if not I’ll join you another time.
Can feather but can always do with practice!
Thanks Claire

[Mike Ballard]

Yes please, Mark. And some training and practice in feathering would be great. Thanks, Mike

[John Child]

Yes please Mark. I can feather but will sit in whichever boat you want to make up the numbers. John

[Tessa Collings]

I would like to join you but I do need to be home by 5.00 pm. I hope that will be possible. I do know how to feather but I'm sure I would benefit from some more instruction and practice. Tessa
