A splendid days racing from our juniors and those seniors that gave up their time to foster the club spirit, it was good to see an old member Steve Coe back in the boat and thanks to Tom, Vickie and Helen making up the senior contingent. two of our older juniors Jack and Isobel filled the two gaps as masters.It was a great mornings racing with Jack Davidson and Dominic Smyth sculling through as the winning double.Personally I would have wished to see a greater response from the senior section. Thanks here to the oldest crew afloat today 157years total Terry Flinn and Jack Barton mannning the safety boat. thanks to parents and families for their support as well.

Mrs Miggs as everyone called her was a lovely lady and along with her late husband was an avid supporter for many years.This is a very sad loss for Bob and his family and my deepest sympathy goes out to them.

Comment on Club Development Plans by Michael Smith

Dear GRC,
I was interested to read Alan Wylie’s summary of the GRC from the 50′s on. Alan, Peter Smith and some others may well remember me – charming, well behaved “little” Michael Smith – chubby coxswain but pretty awesome in any seat during clubraces! I used to hate running, Maurice Simco and Gary Cairns would force me up Maze Hill….and nowadays I absolutely love running and have completed 18 marathons! I’m so pleased to see how the traditions of the GRC continue and also write to remind you all of one very unsung hero at GRC. That was my late Grandfather Richard McFarlane “Mac”. You’ll remember he was Presiden during th 70s and 80s until his death in 1984. Most people don’t know is that he was truly a behind the scenes man and did so much for the club including securing the current Crane street rowing centre. In fact I still have the replica mini scull R McFarlane which I think Alan or Eddie Coulson’s brother built for my grandfather. It still has pride of place at our family home. I’d love to get down to Greenwich again one day. Have such happy memories…..if anyone of you happens to take a holiday to Cancun, then please look me up. We’ve been here for 6 years and anyone from the GRC is welcome…would love to show them around.
All the very best. Michael “Mickey Smith”

Comment on Club Committee 2011 by Andreas Zaeh

Andreas Zaeh — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 12:45:52 +0000

Hello,

my Name is Andreas Zaeh (35years old) and I’m interested in rowing. That’s why I want to join the Globe Rowing Club.
I’ve been rowing for 7 years at the Hanauer Rudergesellschaft 1879 on the River Main. I’m used to rowing with two oars each, but one oar would be fine as well. Most of the time I rowed a racing double (2x). My fitness is trained to two trainings a week.

Do you think, there is a training/leissure team that I would fit in? When is a good opportunity to meet and to get in contact?

regards

Andreas Zaeh

Dear friends and fellow members,
Please allow me to thank you all on behalf of myself and family for all the messages of sympathy,cards and floral tributes at the funeral of my wife Maureen.
I would also like to thank the many members of the club who managed to find the time to attend the funeral, it is a comfort to know that people thought so well of Maureen.
My heartfelt thanks once again.
