Hi All,

Hi Everyone
Just another reminder of the Open day/Ergathon for all members (past, present, new) this Saturday starting at 11am in the Club. We are looking for as full a turn out as we can and we expect to mark the occasion with a group photo as we have done in the past. The Cafe will be open throughout. Niall Duncan will be running the Ergathon for all interested parties and he tells me the ground rules are
Teams must first discuss together how they intend to cover the course (Team building)
All teams must complete 10km on ergometer collectively. Individuals must do at least 500m.
All teams must carry out some running on the Marina collectively.
J18’s and above Club to Shandon and back
J16’s Club to Lee RC and back
J15’s Club to Shanty and back
J14’s Club to railings and back
Each team will have one ergometer only so one at a time
As many team members as the team chooses can run simultaneously.
All,
The Annual General Meeting will be held in the Club House on Monday September 3rd starting at 7:30PM Sharp.
Regards
Brian
Hi All,
Our allocated bag packing slot at Dunnes Stores in Douglas Court is coming up shortly.I would be grateful if you could let all rowers/coaches/parents know about it and request their assistance with this event. In the past bag packing has been a great fundraiser so its worth putting in the effort!!
Dates & times are as follows:
Friday 24th August 6.00-9.00pm
Saturday 25th August 10.00am-4.00pm
I would suggest that the times are broken up as follows – we should aim to have 6 rowers minimum per slot (cover as many tils as possible) and one adult to supervise each session.
Friday 6-9pm
Saturday 10-12
Saturday 12-2
Saturday 2-4pm
Volunteers names can be sent to me (karendunnemccarthy@me.com) upto 13th August or to Mary Murphy (mmurphy@imagine.ie) after that date.
Thanks
Karen McCarthy
Well done to the Cork Boat Club mens senior four who represented the club well today in the second round of the Wyfold Club fours event at Henley Royal regatta. Despite a brave effort they were beaten by Roy Roy Boat club in a hard fought contest.
Boat club had beaten Cardiff City Rowing Club yesterday when they won by 1 length in a time of 7:52.
Well done to John Paul Collins, Stephen Carroll, Colm Dowling and Shane MacEoin for representing the club well at this level, you’ve done the club proud.
If you want to listen to the racing online you can do so on the Henley Royal Regatta website:

Hi All,
On Sunday morning next the level of activity at the club will be
exceptionally high with rowers, coaches, boats and trailers just back from
Metro regatta.
The Committee wishes to welcome as many as possible of our members past and
present and friends to gather at the Club between 11 am and 1.30 pm to enjoy
the buzz, see the improvements in the clubhouse and view the growing gallery
of photographs, old and new, which are now back on the walls. It will also
be a chance for some to renew acquaintances.
We hope that Paul Duggan, probably our most senior member, will be there and
the intention is to take a GROUP PHOTOGRAPH of every one on the green now
that the balcony is accessible again!
BI ANN GAN TEIP !

YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU
Cork Boat Club is making a special one-off appeal to all those connected with our Club to help us purchase a second-hand Quad. We last acquired a Quad in 2007 (the Denis MacSweeney) and due to the increasing size of our membership, we urgently need for a new coxed quad / coxed four. We estimate the cost of a good second-hand boat would be approximately €5000 and are contacting all current Boat Club members, past members etc to seek help in funding the boat.
Please do whatever you can to help this urgent exceptional Quad funding appeal. We know times are difficult at present and though we are suggesting an amount of €50 due to the exceptional nature of the need, we appreciate any and all contributions. All going well, we hope to have a special club day in the near future to unveil our new Quad to everyone.
The following link can be used to contribute using credit cards or PayPal http://www.sponsor.ie/corkboatclub/event/cork-boat-club-quad-fundraiser/ or online banking to Ulster Bank sort code 98-54-82 Account Code 10263647 or send a cheque to Emmet Walsh, Ulster Bank, Ballincollig, Cork.
Thank you all in advance. Go Boat Club!
John McCarthy (Club Captain) & Emmet Walsh (Club Chairman)
