Southampton Coastal Head of the River Race. Saturday, 6th April, 2019.

Southampton Coastal Head of the River Race. Saturday, 6th April, 2019.

Ryde Rowing Club competed in their second event of the season on Saturday – the Southampton Rowing Club Coastal Head of the River raced over two divisions over a three and a half mile course on the River Itchen in Southampton.

In the first division the Clubs Coastal Junior Four of Tom Starkey, Ben Sanderson, Tye Cameron and Austin Smith with Dan Sanderson coxing produced a good performance although they would have been a little disappointed with their 7th place finish in a strong field.

In the 2nd division a young Ladies Novice Four of Poppy Starkey, Freya Drage, Jasmine Corney and Emily Davis and once again coxed by Dan Sanderson in only their 2nd race produced an excellent performance against much older opposition, finishing in 4th place -  although a minor course infringement cost them a fifteen second time penalty that cost them a place.

Reminder. RRC Quiz Night and the University Boat Race.

A reminder - the Club is staging a quiz night this Friday - 5th April.

7.30pm to 11.00pm in the main Club Room.

Ryde Rowing Club competed in their first event of the season on Saturday – the BTC Rowing Clubs Coastal and River Head of the River Race. The Wightlink sponsored Club had a young and relatively inexperienced team afloat several making their racing debuts for the Club - but produced an encouraging set of results. The event was raced over two divisions over a three and a half mile course on the River Itchen, Southampton raced in reasonably good conditions.

The newly formed Men’s Novice Four of Paddy Kearney, Jonah Lewin, Charlie Walford and Gulliver Roghan coxed by Dan Sanderson competed in the first division in a river four finishing in 2nd place. Also racing in division one was Harry Jones in his first race as a Coastal Novice sculler and did well to finish in 3rd place in his event.

In the 2nd division a very young Girls Four of Poppy Starkey, Freya Drage, Niamh Edwards and Emily Davis and once again coxed by Dan Sanderson competed in the Girls J16 Coxed Quad – racing above their age group – and did exceptionally well to finish in 2nd place.

The Clubs Coastal Junior Four had made the decision to race in small boats as they completed their winter training cycle – with Tom Starkey and Ben Sanderson racing in the open men’s double where some steering difficulties led to a 4th place finish. Austin Smith and Tye Cameron raced in the Men’s Novice Sculls in River boats with Austin finishing 2nd and Tye 3rd.

RYDE ROWING CLUB.

Wightlink continue Club Sponsorship.

The Club is delighted to announce that Wightlink, Isle of Wight Ferries have confirmed that they will continue their sponsorship of the Club in 2019. They provide the Club with considerable assistance in transporting their competitors, coaches and equipment to and from the Island for mainland competition throughout the year.

Their support allows the Club to compete on the mainland on a regular basis in the Hants & Dorset ARA Coastal Regatta Programme during the summer months and inland in River events during the winter. Their support has been especially helpful to the Clubs successful and expanding Junior Section enabling them to attend competitions and training camps on the mainland. Without Wightlink’s support all these activities would be substantially restricted.

Presentation to IW Youth Trust & Donation to Club from Churchers Solicitors.

Sponsors, supporters and helpers of Ryde Rowing Club were entertained at an informal gathering at their Clubhouse on Friday evening (25th January) to thank them for their support during the last year.  

The Club President - Peter Allsopp welcomed and thanked all those in attendance and offered a special thanks to the Clubs main sponsors Wightlink and to the main Regatta Sponsor TLM Laser. The Club Captain Graham Reeve then talked briefly about the Clubs activities and success in 2018 which was followed by a short audio visual presentation. Senior Club coach Micky Jenner briefed those in attendance about an exciting new Boat Building project the Club has embarked on - to produce a mould and Coastal Fours - built on the Island by AB Composites of Cowes - with the support of Wight Aid who were represented by Trustee Brian Marriott. The Clubs New Coastal Scull  - which had been supported by Yarmouth Harbour Commission - represented by Tim Adams - was also on display in the Boathouse. 

This was followed by a presentation to Michael Lilley, a Trustee with the Isle of Wight Youth Trust, who - working in conjunction with Wightlink - were the Clubs nominated charity, once again in 2018. Following various fund raising activities -  the club was able to hand over another cheque for £400 to the Isle of Wight Youth Trust. The IW Youth Trust are a charitable independent and professional organisation offering counselling, advice, information and support services to young people under 25 on the Isle of Wight and, in some cases, their parents or carers and the Club were delighted to be able to support them once again.

The Ryde Solicitors Churchers, represented by Ian Heal, attended - and have supported the Club for a number of years - and Ian handed over a cheque for £1,000 to the Club towards their boat building project.
