Never Again Club dinner - 20th May 2017
NEVER AGAIN CLUB DINNER Inspirational speakers attending the dinner ANNAMARIE PHELPS CBE - CHAIRMAN BRITISH ROWING PAUL THOMPSON MBE – GB ROWING TEAM CHIEF COACH How to succeed and win
Supporting Globe RC Junior Rowing from 2003
§ An Invitation from Peter Smith, Joe Regan & Kenny Milton § N.A.C. Port Dinner § Saturday 20th May 2017 - 7pm - Clarendon Hotel, Blackheath Village - £36.00pp
It is with great pleasure that we can announce the 1st NAC dinner at the Clarendon Hotel, Blackheath, London on Saturday 20th May. Our aim is to invite as many former and present Globe members as possible. We would be delighted if you could join us for this special dinner, which will also be a good opportunity to listen to two great guest speakers who have kindly donated the time to join us for the dinner. With many years of friendship associated with Globe Rowing Club and pleasant days enjoying each other’s company, it was during a particularly fine Côte du Rhone dinner in Henley 2003 that the idea of supporting Junior Globe rowers was formed and the ‘Never Again Club’ was formed. Since the creation of the Never Again Club and the fund, we have given monetary support to many young rowers, particularly in helping them attend training camps. In addition, we have part-funded some nine boats, including a safety launch. Both founder members and dear friends Peter Van Hay and Terry Flinn also left legacies to the NAC which have further aided us to continue our support to junior rowing. The cost is £36 per person for a 3 course dinner – two guests speaker will join us and in keeping with NAC Henley tradition a glass of port will also be included to toast Peter & Terry.
We very much hope you can join us. If you would like to attend please email either Ken Milton – ken@clarendonhotel.com mb 0755 2729964 Marian Smith - petermariansmith@gmail.com |

BALL CUP SUNDAY 7TH MAY 2017
We had a very enjoyable day at Eton Dorney with the development squad performing well. The junior women's J14 2X Grace Richards and Hannah Stevens won a gold medal. They went into the final being the second fastest crew. The final developed into a very hard competitive race, but Hannah and Grace beat a good crew from Sudbury Rowing Club by a length. This was a great reward for all the training that they have done through the winter months. Other results - Bo 4th in J15 1x Ines Kenny 6th and Leah Atkinson 7th in WJ16 1x (they were both rowing up a year) Petar J16 1x - He did not make final, but rowed well and gained valuable experience finishing well within the pack. |
