Tag Day

Tag Day is quickly approaching on Saturday May 10.

TAG DAY is the St Catharines Rowing Club’s only annual fundraiser – the money raised supports our High School Program and helps to buy and maintain the equipment is used by our athletes and children every day. They must have our help and participation!!   Last year we over raised $12,000 –let’s top that this year.

Your child will be bringing home a letter outlining Tag Day expectations. Please sign it in the space provided and have your child return it to Ms Hunt at school. Your son/daughter will then sign up for the shift and location they wish to do: Home Hardware (Hartzel Rd), Food Basics (Hartzel Rd), Best Buy (4th Ave), or Harvest Barn (4th Ave). All locations require athletes from 9 am – 5 pm except for Best Buy which will run from noon – 5 pm.

There are spaces for everyone and participation is MANDATORY.

Thank you in advance for support SCRC and SWC’s rowing program through this event.

Early Birds Results

It was a perfect day for rowing on Sunday for our first regatta of the season. Well, ok – it could have been warmer, but we are getting use to that.  My unofficial score keeping put us at six seconds, two firsts and a small smatter of  thirds and fourths. A great way to start the season – confidence and a clear vision of what needs to be done to improve (that would be the coachs’ jobs). Please see the Gallery page for photos. Great work Bulldogs!
