With tomorrow’s lockdown, today marked the end of the term’s rowing for SCBC. To see the term out, we had several boats out on the water, including our m1 4+ completing more than the distance of a marathon on the cam.
After a little bit of a delay, it’s really good to finally be introducing novices to our enthusiasm for cold dark mornings. Fortunately the weather made for a great first outing for some really promising rowers!
Thanks to everyone who got involved in our taster day! We had record interest this year with almost 80 people signing up to try rowing. We're sorry we couldn't get everyone in a boat, but we promise everyone who wants to get involved will be able to soon ❤💛
A special shoutout to the crew that got caught in the downpour - we hope you come back!
Before the start of term our senior rowers have tested all the safety measures that we have implemented following British Rowing and Government guidelines with regards to Covid. Through appropriate use of PPE and washing boats and blades with antibacterial reagents, as well as staggering crews pushing off times we will ensure maximum safety of everyone taking part in rowing at SCBC! We are all looking forward to welcoming Michaelmas term in full swing!❤️💛🚣🏼♂️ @ Selwyn College Boat Club
Selwyn is hitting the ground running in Michaelmas 2020 - for the first time in many years we are expecting to have 4 senior crews straight away - 2 men’s and 2 women’s, which promises an exciting year for SCBC!❤️💛 sign ups for the rowing taster day on the 10th of October are also coming in fast, so get in touch with us if you’d like to attend!🚣🏼♂️

Just a reminder about our event tomorrow (Tuesday, 6 pm BST).
The Master will be interviewing our guest - Olympic gold-medal winning alumnus Richard Budgett. He raced in the British coxed four in the Los Angeles Olympics along with Steve Redgrave. Richard will tell us about his time here as a student, about winning gold – and then his subsequent career in the Olympic movement including being the chief medical officer for London 2012.
If you’d like to join us – and put your own questions to Richard via the Chat function in the webinar – then please register here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_qPnM6y1cRxSw6w4c3hCSAw

This evening the committee had a virtual meeting to discuss the upcoming Michaelmas term and the challenges rowing faces in these unprecedented times 🚣♀️
It's not going to be easy, but we're going to work hard to make sure outings can go ahead with safety as a top priority! 💪💪
We're going to need lots of blue roll, sanitiser and spreadsheets, but stay tuned for SCBC's (somewhat different) Michaelmas 2020 campaign ❤️🚰❤️
