The 2016 AGM was held on the 27th of May, where we farewelled some old faces and welcomed some new ones, as well as discussing the direction of the club for the coming year.
I think we can officially put Open Day 2016 into the ‘great success’ pile. We had an excellent turnout from both novices and experienced rowers, and Wellington put on an absolute stunner of a day for it!
Thanks everybody for coming along! We hope you enjoyed the sausages and the chat, and we’ll see you this week to get stuck into training…
Summer is coming to an end, and you know what that means… the VURC 2016 season is rapidly approaching! We are starting to get very excited as we finalise a few details, and we hope you are too! Whether you’re a returning member, or a new recruit planning on joining us in 2016, we’ve put together a few memories from the 2015 season to get you (back) in the rowing mood.
