Tel Aviv Rowing Club

Good news, everyone: We finally have the up-to-date sitting protocols for the 2010 acting club committee. It took much pestering and even an official complaint against the committee's cloak of secrecy, but from now on - promises Osnat (though not in exactly those words) - transparency is the word. I am also counting on the current committee members to appreciate in good humour the choice of picture for this column.

Notable news items from brief scanning of the protocols:

• Training: There is an agreement with the veteran trainer Wasner to conduct new rowers training courses where half the course cost (NIS 400) goes to him. Osnat - the responsible for new member recruitment and training - says this is the case only when Wasner is also the one to bring the rower to our club.
• Boats:
  • Heavy weight quad and a skiff have been ordered from Canadian Hadson
  • Purchase of a double training boat ('Alden') 
• Conspiracy:
  • floating the idea of 're-deploying' Eitan Ganzy as club handy-man
• Parties: The committee encourages members to use the club for private functions. The club intake is about NIS 500 on average per such function. Permission must be sought and it is the responsibility of Uri or Avram Mayron to put advanced notice to members on upcoming private events
• Regulations: No rowing after dark
