London Regatta

Everyone who was at the London regatta this year will remember that it was the hottest day of the year so far, but that did not stop the Bulldogs from bringing home 13 medals. Yes, we were hot, both off and on the water. Thank you as always to the coaches who got us there and the parents who kept us fed, watered, and sheltered.

And now off to the big show. Good luck at the Canadian Championships Bulldogs – you rock!

Oh, and check out the Gallery page for photos from Ms Hunt.

Tag Day Instructions

SCRC TAG DAY – SATURDAY MAY 7, 2016

T O   T H E   A T H L E T E S / P A R E N T S:

TAG DAY is the Club’s only annual fundraiser. The money raised supports YOUR High School Program and helps to buy and maintain the equipment you use every day.  We must have your help and participation!  The more athletes that participate, the less time each one will have to volunteer.   Last year you over raised $12,700 – let’s top that this year!

 

VERY IMPORTANT!

  • Your participation is not an option;  it is required ( except under  very special circumstances in which case,  talk to your coach if you think you may not be available
  • You are representing your school AND the St. Catharines Rowing Club.  Please take care with language, and general behaviour, etc. and be friendly and smile!
  • Wear your school crew jacket or rowing shirt etc. to identify yourself as a member of your school’s rowing team.  If you don’t have one,  BORROW from a friend.  Please no torn jeans or very short shorts/skirts etc.!
  • Tag only outside the store or location where you are assigned and do not block doorways, hallways etc.
  • PLEASE – no texting or phones – it is only two hours…give your phone a break!
  • Open doors for people who may have strollers, or people with lots of parcels and the elderly, etc.
  • You may ask people for their support just don’t be pushy!
  • Even if they say “NO”, say “thank you” and SMILE – they may change their mind!
  • Be prepared to tell people that the money you are raising supports youth and high school rowing
  • Concentrate on the people leaving a store as they may be more likely to support us
  • Make sure you have a contact number for your coach or call one of the numbers below if you run into any problems
  • If for any reason you are not comfortable with someone who approaches you, IMMEDIATELY  go inside the store and contact the Manager,  YOUR coach and one of the numbers below
  • No athlete is to take a tag box home.  If the last pick-up seems to be late, call one of the numbers at the bottom of the page or you coach. NEVER give a box to ANYONE except your shift replacement or a SCRC Director.  Do not leave until your box has been picked up!

 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT!!
