Well done to the two BRC crews that rowed away with the trophy at the Rabbit Island Rampage in Nelson today for the second year. First and second boats home for a winning aggregate. Great effort all round. Thanks once again to the Tasman Coastal Rowing Club for instigating and organising the race. Despite the early start, it's an excellent way to spend the day and get the coastal boats out of the shed.

Have a fun night out with your friends and help raise some funds for the Blenheim Rowing Club. We are running a musical bingo night (called Jingo) on Friday, 2 October at the Woody in Renwick. Get a table of six of your besties together (at just $20 per person) and come along for a great night guessing the music. You'll get four cards each with artists and song names that you mark off as the music plays. Some good prizes to win along with the fun. The Jingo start at 6pm, or pop out to the Woody a bit earlier early for a meal and drink. It should be all wrapped up by 8pm. DM us if you want tickets. It's going to be an excellent event. Don't miss out.

It’s AGM day but the rain is putting a dampener on the rowing so the meeting will be at 10am today (Sunday) rather than waiting until later. All welcome. Hope you can make it.

The river wins again -- it has flooded our site and left a whole heap of mud to clear away after the heavy rain up-country at the weekend. Thankfully the water wasn't up to the shed level, and an early morning team managed to get all the coach boats and mowers up into the safety of the shed. Excellent effort at 7am on a working day.
But we'll have to wait for the water to drain away and the ground to dry before we can get in to shovel away the mud off the concrete area. Maybe then we can think about getting boats back on to the water.
This keeps happening, but it's the reality of being based beside a river that has a habit of flooding.

All loaded (in the dark) after a weekend of racing at the South Island Masters champs at Lake Rotoiti. Thanks to the Nelson Rowing Club for organising and all the volunteers and supporters who made it a successful weekend. Shame about the wind on Sunday but the delay wasn’t too long and the rowers enjoyed those final sprints over the shortened course. The BRC came home happy, with medals to polish and good memories of another great club weekend away. It’s the cooperation, chill attitude and friendly support for each other that makes it so worthwhile. Until next time … back to training for the Nationals.

Tanya and Will head out for a gold medal row in a double on the first day of the South Island Masters champs regatta at Lake Rotoiti. Great weather and perfect rowing conditions for the day. Looking forward to another good day of racing tomorrow.

Stunning day at St Arnaud as the crew unload and rig the boats for the South Island Masters regatta on Lake Rotoiti tomorrow and Sunday. Hoping for some excellent racing.

Club members form a guard of honour today to farewell former club member and friend-to-many Annie McNicholl. This photo is courtesy of the Picton Rowing Club, whose members also shared in the honour of helping give Annie a fittingly friendly and moving memorial service.
