Brad Stepping Back from Role of Captain

Below is a note from Brad Smith to all members:

“It's been a difficult time for most over the last year. Personally for me this last year has taken a toll on my physical and mental well being. I would have hoped to have seen the Season out as your Captain, as some of you will know, I was planning on stepping down this Season.

Unfortunately, I will be handing over the reins early to Nick and the rest of the Committee until the end of the Season. I will still be about fixing boats, and Coaching but will be playing a less significant role in the coming weeks.

I can only thank all of you for making GRC an Oarsome place to be involved in, it’s been a privilege and honour to serve you all as your Captain and Life member, see you all on the water!

Regards Brad”

Head of the River - Congratulations to Zac and Carter

Congratulations to Zac and Carter for their Year 8 2x win at the NSW Head of the River last Saturday! 

An oarsome win after waiting around till 5.30pm through 36+ degree temps. Watch out for these two at the Edward Trickett Regatta.

Check out the last few seconds of their race:  Zac and Carter win

How Well Do You Know The GRC Rules: Take the Test (Update)

One more perfect score this week: Julie Wass 🥳🎉🥳

And some more high scores: Carter Clifton and Martina Taylor.

It’s not a hard test, but you do need to read the questions carefully.

(Now I sound like every teacher I ever had…)

Please take the time to do the test: Test You GRC Knowledge

It’s important that everyone has a clear understanding of how we work together at GRC.
