NEWSLETTER, DECEMBER 2020
May the Force Be With You
Here we go again - at last! So much to do, so little room on the page. Where to start? Maybe at the beginning…Once upon a time, in a galaxy, far, far, away there was a Rowing Club on the shores of a lake. The town smelt of rotten eggs and bad wind, but that never stopped the townsfolk from achieving great things. Over the years the Club grew and grew, it knew successes and it knew sadness’s, it survived the wretched Covid-19 and cast its eyes to the future. A future full of the unknown challenges raised by life and faced by those of the sculling and sweeping fraternity. Blades and sweep oars held upright in defiance. Like the Jedi, they shall rise to the occasion and lead the way for others to follow. Stand aside, troubles, they cried – Future, here we come!! (In the fulness of time, understand it, you will). Right! Let’s hook into it, first off there is the AGM, complete with the election of officers (otherwise known as “The more Things Change, The More they Stay the Same”) and then the President’s Report.
Elected Officers for 2020/2021
Elected President: Barbara Neale (Presidents report to follow), Vice President: Ross Morrell, Club Captain: Glen Reichradt, Treasurer: Rosemarie Reichardt (Hands up for volunteers for future treasurer), Secretary: Kathryn Anderson (Keep those hands up), Coaches Representative: Tom Clark/Chris Pearson (Consultant), BOPRA Representative: Sharon Morrell (Also President of BOP Rowing Association), RWST Representative: Glen Reichardt (Rotorua Water Sports Trust, our Clubrooms). Maintenance: (taking trailers for WOF, etc): YOU! Publicity: Barbara Neale (Newsletter/Facebook – open to extra help here)
Safety Officer: Tom Clark, Fundraising: Kathryn Anderson (official grants – hands up volunteers), Lakes Conservancy: Sharon Morrell
ROTORUA ROWING CLUB - PRESIDENTS REPORT 2020
The 2020 season will most likely be remembered for all the wrong reasons, with the Covid-19 Pandemic having a significant impact on all Rowers with the cancellation of Maadi Cup at the beginning of the year, followed by the cancellation of New Zealand Master’s Champs at the end of the year. It was a resounding deflation of hope and effort, off-set by the real health risks faced by the World. The on-going effects of Covid-19 remain with us and will travel through into the 2021 season as all sports clubs deal with the ramifications of social distancing and on-going movement through the alert levels imposed to keep the wider public safe.
However, all has not been lost and the Club is in a solid financial position due to the consistent efforts and oversight by our Treasurer, Rosemarie Reichardt. Prudent financial planning over the years has left the Rotorua Rowing Club in a better position to weather the covid-19 impacts than most and allows us to re-build Club membership and the regatta season with a little more room for breathing. If ever there was a time for cautious spending and a growing awareness of the on-going daily costs of running the Club, it is now. Although we have been unable to function properly for a good part of the year, the costs of insurance and other set bills has not eased, and I thank Rosemarie for her careful guidance through these pandemic times. It is, frankly, quite an eerie landscape to be navigated.
This season has seen a good number of new school rowers join the Club, driven in part by the students themselves. Their sense of involvement, ownership of responsibility for their own crews and to the club itself, cannot be overstated. It is one of the fundamental piles that the Club is built upon: responsibility for self and commitment to your crew and club mates. This is a culture that we look to grow and enhance as it develops great leadership potential and gives confidence to our students as they go forward into their adult lives. The opportunities offered through rowing are significant and we are well placed to encourage our athletes to search for those opportunities, whether it is through overseas scholarships or via our own Elite squads. We often have students achieving well through rowing and those achievements should not be overlooked.
In line with a worldwide focus on recycling we are starting a new phase within the Club, with a new/old coach coming back on-board as Head Coach and Club Captain, Tom Clark. Tom is no stranger to rowing or even coaching for that matter but is stepping forward again to alleviate the pressure of being Head Coach from the shoulders of Chris Pearson and our other long-standing Coach, Glen Reichardt. Our aim over the coming season is to build a new coach support team from the parents of our rowers with the aim of carrying that support forward.
On the topic of Coaches, I would particularly like to mention Chris Pearson. Chris has been such a large part of our club that it is hard to imagine a time before he was involved. With over 23 years of time and experience contributed to RRC by Chris, it is easy to see why he is so much a part of the fabric that makes this Club what it is. It isn’t just the coaching, either. It’s all the little extra bits and pieces that happen in the sheds, and on the boats that most of us have no idea about. It’s almost like the old story of the shoemaker and the elves, where everything magically gets fixed or made overnight. Except it is not magic, its Chris spending his time repairing boats and fixing things that need to be fixed as well as coaching teams that need to be coached. And so, it is with great admiration and gratitude that we recognize Chris as a life member of the Rotorua Rowing Club. It is such a small token of appreciation in the face of all that has been given to us and it is an honour to be here at this time of recognition. Chris, we thank you for your years of service and look forward to more time with you on the water, with less pressure now that you can share that coaching load.
I would also like to thank our Committee for their tireless efforts and endless running around behind the scenes to get things done. They are a magnificent group of people and a lot of fun to work with – even if some of us (me) sometimes feel like a full understanding of what is happening is just at our fingertips. We are all learning together and stepping boldly forth into the future of rowing Rotorua and what that means to us. I cannot think of a better Committee to work with and enjoy the can-do attitudes and atmosphere that everyone brings to the table. It has been a pleasure to be included in this mix and I encourage more parents and rowers to become involved.
As with all Clubs, where would we be without the volunteers and parents? Those wonderful people ferrying children, Masters, and support crew from regatta to regatta, around the lake or just down to the Club on those bright and early mornings. Even more so on the cold and dreary ones. If you let it, rowing gets into your blood and becomes part of your life. It is a wonderful journey out there on the water, filled with learning, hard graft, successes, and joy. Learning to row is quite possibly one of the hardest things you will ever achieve and being involved in the Rowing Club is one of the most rewarding, without a doubt. We step into 2021 with a lot of ‘unknown’ around us but we will persevere and we will come though it with a stronger focus on how we best serve our Club members and create something even better for the future years. Never mind the elections and covid-19, we’ve got this. If we can learn to Zoom, we can learn to row.
I would like to thank everyone for their contribution to the Club, including our rowers, and wish you all the best for the upcoming season – it will be all that we make of it.
Barbara Neale
President
Rotorua Rowing Club
LEARN TO ROW – remember when you first stepped foot into a skiff? How odd and angular it was and how hard and opposite everything felt? Waiting for someone else to put the blades in first so you didn’t get it wrong? Bow side, Stroke side, easy oar, or the dreaded CHECK THE BOAT! Legs, body, arms, relax, breathe, enjoy. Stern pair, bow pair. Use your legs (like, HOW??). Feel the Boat and let it run. The what, the who, the how? Keep your eyes on the horizon and have a little faith in your subconscious eventually getting it right. Practice, practice, practice, erg, erg, erg, run, run, run and eventually the drum begins to beat in time with the breathing and exertion and you can ‘feel that boat’ flow and move like magic. Or - Maybe its more that you DON’T feel the boat stopping and starting because you move as one, rather than as a person moving in a boat floating on the water?
AND THEN COME THE REGATTAS and suddenly stuff starts to get real!! As well as learning to row, now you need to learn how to load boat trailers and how to tie things down, making sure everything gets put on (ever tried to row without oars? Its pretty difficult!). Loading to a boat plan, unloading to a race plan, rigging, de-rigging, re-rigging. Cleaning is really important, keeping our lakes and waterways safe. Race day itself is a bundle of nerves – what to eat, when to eat, how to eat (keep it simple, stick to foods you know and hydrate – drink plenty of fluids in the week leading up to the race day and plenty of sips often during the day itsel). Those first race starts! When you think your heart might explode out of your chest and you’re still sitting on the start line. The weight of that first stroke away, the crabs and recoveries, the fear that you can’t get enough air into your lungs and the ache of muscles. Finding that something deep inside..don’t give up. Just keep ROWING… where is the marker bouy? Just KEEP ROWING…whe’re’s the hooter?? JUST KEEP ROWING!!
Is it time, yet? Those of you who have been around long enough know that my mind works in mysterious ways, when it works at all. You may be wondering just why the cover photo is of a light saber and not the usual shot of the Club or some amazing water. How does it relate to rowing, I hear you ask. Well, it goes like this…
In 1933, an Elnglishman started a business making and supplying the very finest of fishing rods. His name was John L Wells. His standards were exacting and his business and products became internationally recognised and sought after. That business was Kilwell Sports. Over time the manufacturing side of the business evolved, as all things must and new manufacturing techniques were created. A new business was formed, called Kilwell Fibretube and this is where it gets interesting for us. Kilwell Fibretube manufactures tubular fibreglass, graphite and composite products, including Croker oar shafts. Croker are our main supplier of sculling blades and they originate from here, in Rotorua, travel away for assembly (they used to go to Australia, but are now assembled in New Zealand), and then some of them return to Rotorua for use in our Club. Sometimes, out on the water, you can see the Kilwell building over on the Eastern side of the lake. I often used to wonder about how our oar shafts were made here but supplied to us from elsewhere so, when the opportunity arose, I met with Amanda Wells at Kilwell and went for a wee tour to see where it all begins.
Quite simply, its fascinating! There are sheets of fibre cloth impregnated with resin that are kept in cold rooms (so the resin doesn’t go off), and another room which is a lot warmer, where those resin sheets are wrapped around metal madrels, purpose built to the appropriate size. A giant iron (for want of a better term), adheres the different layers together around the mandrels. When you watch it in action, it’s a little bit disconcerting as the parts that move, aren’t the ones you expect.
It is like following a recipe, they have sheets of ‘recipe’ details and use it to build up the layers accordingly. The mandrels wrapped in cloth are then wrapped in cellopne and baked in an oven. The oven used for curing the fibre tubes is verticle set down into the ground and nothing like you would expect an oven to look like. For one thing its taller than the Club, our oar shafts hang from hooks and go around (what looks like the outside of) the oven like a hanging conveyer belt. It all makes logical sense when you see it but I can assure you, you will not be baking any loaves of bread in there anytime soon. I would have taken a photo but I’m not so good at heights and it was a bit dark looking down there, under the ground. Once finished, the steel mandrel is extracted from the tube, sanded, cleaned and painted. The oar shafts are then shipped to Croker for completion (the sculling ‘spoons’ and handles are added, otherwise its just a big stick. Everything is exceptionally tidy and in its place. The Fibretube side of the business is best described as problem solving. A client brings an idea for something they want and the Kilwell team make it happen. Sometimes with many trials and errors. But the end product is worth the wait – go and check out the sculpture at Hemo Gorge, it is an example of futuristic building and sculpting materials and, frankly, I still can’t believe it was created in a 3D printer.
The Wells Family have a connection with Rowing, with Amanda herself being a former rower (it stays in the blood, Amanda – you’ll see, when we get you back in a boat!). Some of the older Masters (Keith) will be familiar with the family in the rowing context, quite apart from the manufacturing. The team at Kilwell struck me as working together as a crew. Everyone had their job to do and they were doing it well and with a visible sense of pride. It was obvious that they all knew their contribution was a vital part of the whole. Like having a coxon, stroke seat, the powerhouses and bow seat overseen by the coaches. Together it works, on your own it’s a bit of sitting around on some water going nowhere fast. It was an honour to be shown around and a delight to meet so many different people that make up Kilwell. Amanda has offered to conduct a tour for the Rowing Club members and I would highly recommend taking up the opportunity to do that. Let me know if you are interested and we can set something up. I extend a warm welcome to Kilwell Fibretube to come and visit the Club and try out the finished product they help to make. I look forward to building a growing relationship as we offer Corporate Racing and invitational rows in 2021 and thank them for their sponsorship of the upcoming Blue Lake Regatta. As for the lightsabre… the same technology that goes into our oar shafts goes into that bit of creativity. Kilwell produced over 200 lightsaber wands for the Star Wars Film: Eposide 3, Revenge of the Sith, released in 2005. (they were a little narrower than the one shown in the cover photo).
