New Rowing ACT Board

New Rowing ACT Board

The Rowing ACT Board has been confirmed for 2019, with Ben
James and Catherine Garrington joining as appointed directors. They join Ben
Page and Kent Peters as new directors and Alison Creagh as the new president,
taking over from David Bagnall, Vince McMahon, Bill Mason and Catherine Bowyer.

Capital Lakes’ Catherine Bowyer remains heavily involved with local rowing administration, accepting the position as chair of the Regatta Sub-Committee. This committee will be asked to meet on a more regular basis than in past years, allowing local clubs and schools greater input into events and regattas. Capital Lakes will nominate a new club member to represent their views at Regatta Sub-Committee meetings.

The new Board members come with great skills and backgrounds. Catherine Garrington has been involved with rowing for a number of years both as an athlete with ANU and as a Boat Race Official (BRO). She is a FISA umpire, allowing her to officiate at international events.

Ben James is a current rowing parent who has been associated with rowing since learning to row at Brisbane’s Church of England Grammar School (Churchie) in 1982. Ben stroked their 1st VIII, was Captain of Rowing and rowed at the Queensland titles in 1986. He rowed at ADFA and was a member of the first ADFA crew to win the Disher Cup in 1989. Ben has spent many hours rowing on Lake Burley Griffin while training, competing in ACT Regattas or supporting from the sidelines and volunteering as a parent.

Ben Page is a Canberra man who has been rowing since his
school days at Marist College. A coach with both Marist and Canberra Grammar
School, Ben recently volunteered as the assistant team manager for the ADF
King’s Cup team at Henley earlier this year. Ben assists with ADFA Rowing Club
and is coordinating this year’s Disher Cup.

Kent Peters is another rowing parent, with his sons Ethan
and Jaedon transitioning from CGS to Canberra Rowing Club. Kent has volunteered
as a BRO in both Perth and Canberra, and will become the new Director of
Finance.

On behalf of Rowing ACT we would like to thank David, Vince,
and Bill for their service over many years. We would also like to thank
Catherine Bowyer for her time on the Board and congratulate her in her new role
as Chair of the Regatta Sub-Committee.

Rowing ACT would like to recognise and thank Tom Trobe for
his work chairing the Regatta Sub-Committee over the last two years and also
thank Alison Chinn for her significant work as Regatta Secretary over the last three
years.

The 2019 Rowing ACT Board is:
Alison Creagh (President, CRC/ADF Rowing), Alison Chinn (CRC), Ben James (CGS),
Ben Page (ADFA), Caroline Pijpers (CGGS), Catherine Garrington (BRO), Deb
Styman (LTRC), Kent Peters (CGS/BRO), Nick Hunter (ANUBC)

    An intriguing discussion is definitely worth comment. I do think that you should write more about this subject matter, it might not be a taboo subject but typically people don’t talk about such issues. To the next! All the best!!

    Hey! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when browsing from my iphone4. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to correct this problem. If you have any suggestions, please share. Appreciate it!

    I have been browsing online more than three hours these days, but I never discovered any fascinating article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you did, the net will probably be much more helpful than ever before.

    Its like you learn my mind! You seem to understand a lot about this, like you wrote the e book in it or something. I think that you simply could do with some percent to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, that is great blog. A great read. I will definitely be back.

    I was just seeking this information for a while. After six hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your website. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this kind of informative websites in top of the list. Normally the top web sites are full of garbage.

    Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all. But think of if you added some great pictures or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this blog could definitely be one of the most beneficial in its niche. Very good blog!

    I would like to express some appreciation to you for rescuing me from such a circumstance. Just after searching through the online world and getting opinions that were not powerful, I assumed my life was done. Being alive without the presence of answers to the issues you’ve sorted out as a result of your review is a serious case, and the kind that could have in a wrong way affected my career if I had not discovered your web site. Your good ability and kindness in touching all the things was excellent. I don’t know what I would have done if I had not encountered such a subject like this. It’s possible to at this point look forward to my future. Thanks a lot so much for your expert and sensible guide. I will not be reluctant to propose your web page to any individual who needs direction about this topic.
