🚣‍♀️ What a weekend for NRC! 💙🤍

Newcastle rowers were heading north, south and out on home waters over the weekend!

Heidi and Phoebe headed to Taree on Saturday for the Head of the Manning / Augustus Wilkes Shield, taking on the 16km single scull time trial. Heidi claimed 1st in WM, with Phoebe 2nd. Nice work ladies! 💪🚣‍♀️

On Sunday Jack, Remy and Ben, teaming up with Nepean rower Jason Waddell, flew through the 5km Nepean Head in the Open Quad in 17:02, the fastest time of ALL boats on the day! 🔥👏

Dave Macready also had a terrific row in the Masters Single, finishing 4th in 22:03. 🚣‍♂️

Back at NRC, Sunday was Ice Cream Day, Bustle 81, with seven boats braving a wild and windy morning! 🌬️🍦 A big thanks to the volunteers who helped organise the crews. 🙌

And on Saturday a brand new Learn to Row group hit the water! A huge thanks to our wonderful volunteers giving their time to teach and welcome our newest rowers. We hope they catch the rowing bug and love it as much as the rest of us! 💙🚣

🚣‍♀️ Union of Oarswomen Training Day at Berry Park

A fantastic day of rowing, learning and plenty of fun at the Union of Oarswomen Training Day at Berry Park!

Newcastle Rowing Club was well represented, with five rowers and two assistant coaches joining in for the day.

The morning started under a blanket of chilly fog, but it wasn’t long before it lifted to reveal a beautiful day and some magical conditions out on the water. ☀️🚣‍♀️

A big thank you to Endeavour Rowing Club for hosting and helping make it such an enjoyable day. 💙

Thank you, Matt! 🚣‍♂️

After many years as part of the Newcastle Rowing Club community, Matthew Smith is moving on from rowing.

Matt first joined NRC as a rookie in the late ’90s and has been a familiar face at the club ever since. Over the years, he’s been a long-serving committee member, an enthusiastic competitor and an active member of our club community.

In more recent years, Matt could often be found among the first out on the water, enjoying an early row in his single scull, Emily Snook.

As he moves on from rowing, Matt has very generously donated Emily Snook to the club, where she’ll continue to be enjoyed by NRC members for years to come.

Thank you, Matt, for your many years of involvement, contribution and support of Newcastle Rowing Club. We wish you all the very best for whatever comes next! 💙

✨ A big thank you to our cleaning fairies! ✨

Our shed has had a serious sparkle-up, and it looks absolutely fantastic. A huge thank you to the wonderful people who saw what needed doing and simply got in and did it. 🧚‍♀️🧹✨

We’re incredibly lucky to have a club community where so many people quietly pitch in. It might be maintaining equipment, mowing the lawns, picking up rubbish, cleaning bathrooms, charging stroke coaches and lights, painting, fixing things, or one of the countless other jobs that keep our club running.

And that’s a good reminder for all of us! This is our shed, and looking after it is everyone’s job. ❤️💙

It can be as simple as getting the buckets and oar racks ready in the morning, helping put everything away properly at the end of a row, picking something up when you walk past it, or grabbing a broom when the floor needs a sweep.

Lots of little contributions make a very big difference.

To our latest cleaning fairies
THANK YOU!
The shed looks brilliant. ✨👏

And to everyone who regularly does those little jobs without being asked, thank you too.

That’s what makes a great club community. 🚣‍♀️❤️💙
