PRESIDENT’S REPORT2007 -2008
BOARD
Over half the Board members changed in the last 2 years with resulting big changes in committees.

BOARD
• Meeting with Senior Team in NRC;
• This was a meeting to make formal contact although we mostly all knew each other. Should be done annually at an early stage of the season.
BOARD
• There is need for a survey of clubs – membership and facilities. This will be managed by the office and the Branches.
The purpose is to present the real picture of the ACTUAL numbers of people involved in running our clubs. The only membership figures we can show are competitor registrations.
DEVELOPMENT
• There are two VOLUNTEER development officers, John O’Keefe and Mark Wickham, much of whose efforts have been directed to the Dry Row programme.
• The successful re-opening of Sligo Rowing club illustrates the need for enthusiastic coaching members and separately, an administrative structure for a club to get going well.
HISTORICAL

RANDOM IDEAS
• Community Games are moving to Athlone, Can we – should we - get rowing into the Games? 22 counties have clubs with 3 of the others having common borders.
• Suggested events;
• 1x age 10 & 12 & 14 M/F
• Mixed doubles
USE “TRIMMY”- type boats
RANDOM IDEAS
• There are 2 tours planned for September- can we plan a FISA tour in the next few years?
RANDOM IDEAS
• With 8 lanes available, what would coaches think of using them in the championships?
• It would have reduced the number of Championship races by ~ 20% in 2007
RANDOM IDEAS
• The Senior 8 trophy was first contested in 1912.
Can we do something different for the event in 2012? -
Make it an open event Hold it separately from all other
championships and require every club to take part
Other
RANDOM IDEAS
• Re-establish an inter-provincial regatta;
Senior to J16?
