The Victorian Premier is set to provide a roadmap on Sunday which we hope will provide some directions as to when we can get our club back on the water. HRC will reopen as soon as is safe to do so. In the meantime, we hope all members are doing what they can to stay sane and to keep fit.
At last night’s committee meeting (held via zoom) members of the committee, all of whom are double vaxed, approved a motion to encourage HRC to become a fully vaccinated community club.
We will seek Boroondara Council and Rowing Victoria direction on what vaccination status may mean to both usage of council facilities and participation in the sport going forward. We will provide direction back to members when we receive their responses.
The Head of the Yarra committee will reconvene next week after the Premier’s roadmap is announced, to make key decisions on the 2021 Head of the Yarra.
It appears a nationally represented on-water event will once again not be possible this year. One proposal the Committee is giving serious attention to is a Virtual Head of the Yarra Regatta.
The Concept proposal for a <Virtual Head of the Yarra is HERE> for member information and to facilitate any member thoughts back to committee via email to our <Regatta Secretary>.
Member input received before next Wednesday (22nd September) can be tabled for the HOTY organising committee to take on board in their discussions and decisions.
At this link a promotional <Virtual Head of The Yarra Video> is available. We ask members not to share on Social Media, until decisions are made on what the club will do.
The HRC Committee each year awards honorary season membership to individuals who provide selfless support and service to the club.
Our congratulations and thanks this year go to: Olive Flocas our no, 1 regatta supporter, Brian Bourke (HOTY), Noel Carter (Volunteer coach), James Dewar (Anzac services), Mark Landy (Dr HOTY), Tim Landy (Dr HOTY), Fiona Morrison (Parks Liaison Officer HOTY), Lachlan Nichols (HOTY). and Bruce Winnen (HOTY).
HRC has purchased a Swift Carbon Elite Eight which will put into service to provide a spine to our women’s competitive sweep program. Something to look forward to when we get back on the water.
