02 Feb - Junior Inter-Regional Regatta- Trials 4 March 2012

This event is a great opportunity to compete against the best juniors in the country on an International 6 lane course. All J14-J16 are encouraged to put themselves forwards for selection. It would be good to have a large team from PCRC representing the region.

Trials to compete as part of the Eastern Region team will be held at PCRC on 4th March 2012.Any J14 - J16 athlete with aspirations of rowing in the regional team should ensure they inform their coach so that they are entered.

Trials will be in single sculls for all, with composite or club crews formed from the best performing athletes.

The event itself will be run at Nottingham Water Sports Centre, on Saturday April 28th anyone selected will need to be available for that date.

16 Jan - Peterborough Head - Junior entries

PLEASE NOTE:

At this event, the organisers, deliberately don't offer racing for younger juniors, because of the risk of bad conditions, strong head winds etc. We also limit the entry of younger juniors into older events by saying that "no entries from J14 or younger boys or J15 or younger girls will be accepted". This is to avoid the situation of weaker youngsters having to be rescued down at the house because they are not strong enough to cope - conditions can be very rough sometimes!

Actual poster wording is:

"Coaches, crews and scullers should ensure that they have a sufficient level of competency for this event particularly as there is a possibility of adverse weather in February. No entries from J14 or younger men or J15 or younger women will be accepted. "

The regatta committee will NOT make exceptions for PCRC crews, and Club coaches have to abide by these rules to ensure the safety of athletes and the smooth running of the event.

05 Dec - Photos from events and training

Matt Halliday has been busy behind the scenes snapping our crews at events and during training. Take a look at the junior squad online shop where photos and other merchandise are available to buy. The latest shots are from our pre Xmas fun event with Oundle School.

Take a look here http://www.photoboxgallery.com/prcj

If you like any photos you see, maybe want to have it on a mug, key ring or poster, just order from the site and it will be with you within days.

The best bit is that Matt has agreed to donate all proceeds from sales, to the juniors boat fund. So get your Christmas or birthday presents and help us buy some new boats to ensure our athletes can compete on equal terms against the best.
