I am sure that it will come as no surprise to learn that our facilities at Hardwick are again under a couple of feet of water. Irrespective of the river conditions, therefore, there will be no rowing this weekend.
We will update members as soon as conditions improve and we can access the site again.
The flood waters have receded (although there are still some deep puddles). We cleared out the shed this morning and as we expected, there wasn’t any significant damage.
We celebrated by going for a row – and subject to the normal risk assessments, regular Saturday and Sunday sessions are back on. We look forward to seeing you on the river – but bring wellies or shoes you don’t mind getting muddy.
Matthew Crowder took these pictures of our site on Thursday – it may be some time before we can access the shed and start the cleanup.
All club members are formally invited to attend the Club AGM which will be held at Goring Social Club on Wednesday 28th November starting at 7-45pm. Members will be sent a detailed agenda later this month, but the key purpose of the meeting will be to review Club activities and finances over the last year, consider any proposals (including proposals to submit a planning application on the site in Lower Basildon, and to raise annual subscriptions to £60), and to elect a new Committee for the coming year. If there is anything specific that you would like to have included in the AGM agenda, or if you wish to make your own proposal regarding the activities and rules of the Club, please can you contact the Club Secretary at secretary@goringgapbc.org.uk by 14th November.
