By any measurement, 2009 was a good year for our club.
Let's make 2010 a great one.
Now that we've got the formalities out of the way....
The club's 2010 licence applications will be going in in the next couple of days. If you want to race, and your licence does not have '2010' on the back of it, you'd better get the relevant completed form and fee to Kenny NOW!
Here is the latest GRCMembers item on this topic. Forms can be got on the SR web site.
First race you need your licence for is Western Head on 30th January.
* And left his kit behind, in all the excitement. It's in the changing room.
After weeks of anticipation, we finally had two well-populated divisions of good quality racing across a wide range of categories. GRC were successful in three events: women's Res2 quad (Beth, Joanna, Jen, Katharina and Jules), men's Res1 four (Graeme, Matt, Uncle Alan, Doug and..... Willie?) and winning the overall prize for fastest crew of the day, the men's open quad (Jonny, Sam, Iain and Chris).
Paul Mackie took these pictures on Sunday afternoon. Looks like the weather was kind to us after all!
Thanks, as ever, to the Umpires led by John McKinney and to all of the people who do all of the jobs that are necessary to make our event work.
More pictures, please!
The usual business was transacted at the club AGM earlier this month.
The new Committee was elected, new members are Marianne Flynn (Secretary), Alan Holmes, Steph McDowall and Bryan Stewart.
There is also a delightfully un-simplified subscription structure: Membership costs
Finally, the club has conferred two new Honorary Memberships. This is the only gift that the club has to offer and it is used sparingly. The two previous recipients have been Lindsay Dick, in recognition of her World Championship Bronze medal, and Ronnie Goldie, on retiring from the club Presidency after 25 years.
Joining them this year are George Lawson and Sandy Walker. Anyone who has had any contact with GRC over the last 27 years, or with Glasgow Argonauts before that, will be aware just how much the club owes to Sandy and George. They have been intrinsic to the success of the club on and off the water since before many of our current winners were born. Many of our, er, more mature rowers were given some of their earliest coaching by them, they've taken our boats to regattas for us, they've Umpired for us, encouraged us, rowed themselves into coronary care for us, made rolls and sausage for us - and we would probably not have a set of steps to boat from, never mind anything else, were it not for their unstinting efforts.
The honour is really ours.
There are some pictures from Inverness on Niall Darroch's website. A few good ones of the GRC crews leading both races on Sunday, but Saturday's are not so good. Any in-house offerings?
Malcolm's latest pictures are on his Picasa album. Some are of GRC people training recently, others are simply showing what a lovely stretch of water we row on.
Sad to read that the London Fours Head had to be cancelled. We know how they feel...
Not the best use of a rowing weekend for our two crews who had travelled down for the race.
On Sunday, GRC cleaned up: Sam, Iain and Al S led the way in the singles (3 fastest scullers, Sam and Iain also beat all of the doubles and pairs), as did Willie and Colin in the double, winning the first division.
On Saturday, the results were... less stellar. Best quote so far:
It was definitely the most entertaining race I've ever had...
Inverness rowers triumph on home water
GRC squads are travelling in opposite directions this week, going to the extremes of UK competitive rowing.

David Nolan has posted his photos:
Some great pictures - some not-so-great technique to be seen. (Call me Mr Bendy-Arms).
Results are hard to find, but I believe we had wins in Open 4x (Matt, Graeme, Alan and Doug) and W Res2 4x (Róisín, Mo, Joanna and Beth) at the Clyde Head. An interesting 3-way tie emerged between the GRC 1st division scullers who were too busy looking good to notice someone from the Dark Side sneaking the win..... Any clarification is welcome.
Results: pdf file on the Clyde web site.
It's been pointed out that we also won
News from the GB trials at Boston is also elusive....
Sam 9th in U23 Lwt, Iain 10th, 17th & 18th overall. Al S 40th in
U23 Heavyweight, 73rd Overall.
Other folk we know, Alan Sinclair was 5th overall, Andy Holmes was
12th in Heavyweight and 26th overall and Murray was 32nd overall.
Kelly Limond from Strathclyde Park won womens lightweight as well.
Al S was the sole GRC representative and fastest single sculler of the day!*
This from the Herald this week: Part-time model Fowler looking good for 2012 and beyond - The Herald
Wrong club, but the world loves a trier.
* No other scullers raced - but he'd have won anyway.
Another excellent day's racing from GRC. Malcolm has recorded some of them in his equally excellent photographs - in his Picasa album.
Unfortunately, there are no photos of our winning crews (unless YOU have some?) but still plenty of meat for the armchair coaches to get their teeth into.
Some pictures from Malcolm in the photo column, more welcome - particularly if you have them of the winning crews.
While by no means belittling Uncle Alan's achievements, nephew Andy's exploits in domestic and international arenas have got him in the papers.

This is Trixie. She has just started rowing and wants to race in Junior sculls next year.
The annual Home Countries International regatta was run today.
Wins were recorded by Jonny and Chris Logan in men's lightweight - pairs and double sculls. The latter was most impressive, as they hadn't raced in a double since...?
Scotland also won women's eights and were second in men's eights, again featuring GRC members; Marianne Flynn, Kieran Docherty, 'Uncle' Alan Holmes and Alistair Sarahs. Sam Scrimgeour competed in men's under-23 sculls and men's under-23 fours (alongside Al S).
Overall, Scotland finished in 2nd place in the women's competition behind England by a single point, not sure about the other results yet.

The GRC squad broke new ground for a Scottish club, qualifying two crews for quarter-finals. Here are some pictures.
Graeme's pictures from Henley include some lovely ones of Alan and also an intrepid tree-climbing rower.
From Big Blade:
At Henley Royal Regatta the GRC crews upheld the excellent standards that the senior squad has set in competition this year. In The Britannia Challenge Cup, the crew of Graeme, Alan, Matt, Doug and Marianne won a really tough race to get through to the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, the Wyfold Challenge Cup crew of Sam, Jonny, Kieran and Chris were justifying the Stewards decision to award them 'selected' status by beating their first- and second-round opponents easily.
On quarter-finals day, Friday, GRC were in the unique position for a Scottish club of having crews that had raced their way into the last eight of 2 separate events.
The coxed four went into an early lead against a strong crew from Fermoy RC (Ireland), but were unable to hold off that challenge (photo from Jet Photographic).
The coxless four were involved in one of the fastest races of the day in which the two crews were never separated. Trailing for almost the whole length of the course, the GRC crew battled past their opponents from Star Club of Bedford in the last fifty metres only to be deprived of their place in the semi-final when the two crews clashed just before the line (photos: Jet Photographic and from the HRR site). Star crossed the line a canvas ahead and in the absence of any appeal the decision was theirs.
It's always painful to lose, but the attitude of both crews - of the whole squad this year - was inspiring. Those of us who travelled to Henley to watch were full of pride in the performance of Glasgow Rowing Club.
The GRC crews and followers will be using Twitter to post the occasional message to let us know what's happening, on the column on the right ("Henley Twit").
On the far right ("Henley Latest ") is the official HRR twitter update which will include race results as the regatta progresses.
Links:
Belated mention to our well-travelled senior squad; the 4- were racing at Marlow this weekend - a close second place in their event, finishing fast-but-not-quite-fast-enough, it looks like.
However, the people you want to impress are the Henley Stewards, who have published the list of crews required to qualify for this year's regatta. Quite a few Scottish crews on the list, but none from GRC. Well done, team.
More on GRCMembers.
There is no shortage of pictures of GRC winning crews and be- medalled rowers. Here are some to be getting on with, on GRC (Sat and Sun*) and Peter D's Picasa albums.
If ever a photo was crying out for a caption, this must be it - from Malcolm, along with others on his Picasa album.
Graeme's photos are here.
Some from Niall Darroch too.

One hundred percent - raced one, won one - for the GRC Novice women's quad; Joanna, Olivia, Katharina, Kate (I) and Jules. Well done! (Any pictures?)
Winning Novice sculls - and not novice any more - was Kate (D not I), racing for SUBC.
Also - in what must have been the day's most exciting finish for the spectators*, the Vet 'D' four won their race after it was re-scheduled over 1500m.
* Pretty exciting for the participants too, judging from the whooping noises FC was making.
'Mauler' Matt's coaching must have paid off, as GUBC's 1st Men's boat, featuring Kieran and Chris, gave the EUBC boys a lesson in winning. Very painful to watch, so it was.

Lots of good performances that Al didn't have space to mention, below. The results are now out - see for yourself.
As usual, we had a fantastic effort from the whole club - and their families - to make the catering operation a success. All the more satisfying that we had a stonking performance on the water as well! Here's what Al says:
SPR was a pretty good start to the season for GRC. We had a good entry from junior to veteran, men’s and women’s, novice to open, in almost every boat type at some time or another. Results were a mixed bag for this first regatta of the season, but there were some great performances in what were sometimes tricky conditions out on the park. Men’s open 1x was a sea of yellow, with 4 of our scullers in the final. The victory went to Jonny, who led most of the way, with Sam just being squeezed out of 2nd spot 150m from the line. Jonny teamed up with his brother Chris to win M2- by a convincing margin and they again joined with Al S and Kieran to win the coxless 4. In the student events, Sam (racing for Strathclyde Uni.) won a very close race in uni 1x, with Al S coming in 2nd and Iain 3rd. In the Student 2x Dan and Willy scored a good win for Strathclyde and 3 of the victorious student 4x (Doug, Dan and Willy) were GRC regulars.
Particularly impressed by Kate and Olivia’s junior double, who in their second ever race and their first side-by side competition managed not only to qualify for 2 finals in tricky water conditions, but led the field home in their heat of women’s novice 2x. A few wee problems in the final cost them a shot at victory, but a great start and watch this space.
More from Al (and others, no doubt) later on GRCMembers.
Redecoration is almost complete - thanks to volunteers Karen, Lynda, George and Lynn .
Everyone is going to be at the park, racing and winning and cooking and selling and boating and winning and buttering and bartering and grilling and Winning and WINNING!
There is a junior session at 10 a.m. on Sunday for anyone interested - please confirm by if you're coming along.
It's been pointed out that some newer members may not know that a lot of the GRC news is sent by email to 'GRCMembers' on Google groups.
Members can choose to receive every email as it arrives, or can choose to receive a single daily email - or none at all. Every member can send and reply to email, and also view correspondence on-line; new and archived. Details on how to join and how it works are on this page.

More photos and website critique on GRCMembers.From today's WEHoRR,
the provisional
results paint a very decent picture for Scottish crews, with the Clyde/EUBC/Glasgow
Rowing Club/GUBC composite finishing in 6th place (started 200th).
This crew includes GRC's Fran Jacob (also includes
Mrs Johnny) and is coached by the patriarch of
the Warnock dynasty, who will probably be very
pleased with today's work.
Next best Scottish entry was Clydesdale at a distant 33rd.
