2 FROM THE PRESIDENT One of the things that has always had an impact on me through rowing, are some of the life lessons the sport delivers. There are many that stay with me from my own time rowing for the school, then from later as a coach and even today as a parent and committee member. Perhaps one of the most powerful of those is learning a little about resilience and selflessness. When you row in a crew, you are inextricably linked to the others in the boat and your fortunes rise and fall with theirs. For instance, if you don t turn up for training, then you let down all your mates and literally leave them high and dry. It s the same out on the water if don t put in with every stroke, that lack of effort could mean the metres between winning or losing a race. If you re not committed to excel, that lets down your team mates with every stroke. It doesn t take long to work out that if you act selfishly, others will also pay a price if you let them down. So, in many ways, I think rowing is the ultimate team sport, because it demands that every individual commits to the team and each other. That outward focus and commitment to your crew means that you learn how to meaningfully give of yourself for the collective goal. That in turn builds individual resilience and capacity to be a contributor wherever life s path leads you. Speaking of teamwork and sense of community, the club is holding a "Back to the Boatshed" Function on Friday night and I look forward to seeing those who have booked to attend. Thanks also to those who have signed up to the 100 Club and offering tangible support for the Pulteney Boat Club. The 100 Club is every bit an extension of the ethos of support and team spirit which typifies the sport of rowing. It s not too late to sign up if you re still thinking about it! Thank you for your support of the club it means a great deal.
