As promised, Mike McD and John H held a competent crew class in the shed on Saturday, well attended, and much enjoyed and appreciated.<\/p>\n

As mentioned by Rachel in her weekly tides email and as advertised earlier by Anne P, this coming Saturday sees a coaching session delivered to Queensferry rowers by\u00a0\u00a0Gabriel Murphy, the coach at Broughty Ferry Rowing Club.<\/p>\n

Anne P writes:<\/strong> Gabriel has offered to spend the day with us\u00a0from 9.30am,\u00a0weather permitting.\u00a0Tides are good.<\/p>\n

He will coach us through the basics of rowing technique focusing on each element of the stroke and positioning to racing and coxing skills, techniques and tactics. This is a great opportunity for all, to help us to support and develop everyone, from our novice rowers to our experienced coxes and those who wish to develop their skills further.<\/p>\n

We may only have one boat available but Gabriel has a wealth of rowing experience to offer, both on and off the water, having rowed for many years and represented his country on more than one occasion.<\/p>\n

I would particularly encourage coxes to attend if they are able as it will be important, moving forward, that we do this with a consistent approach. Please come and join us if you can; it\u2019ll be a great way to blow off any club after party headaches.<\/p>\n

I appreciate that this is normally social rowing time, but it\u2019s a great opportunity to have a club development day which will benefit all of us, regardless of which level we are at.<\/p>\n

The format of the day has yet to be clarified and will depend on numbers and experience.\u00a0If you know that you will definitely be able to attend could you let me know at apurcellb[at]hotmail.com.\u00a0so that I can begin to get a sense of numbers. If you\u2019re not sure yet, that\u2019s OK. Just come along anyway.<\/p>\n

Also featuring at the weekend: Ferry Maid’s birthday!<\/p>\n
