For Members

Members-Only

There is a members-only section where you can record your availability and see what training your squad should be doing, as well as keep your ARA number and points up to date - you will need a login and a password to access it, if you don't have a log-in visit the registration page.

Mailing Lists

We maintain two mailing lists for active members, one for the women's squad and one for the men's. If you want to receive news on outings, training, events, tests and general squad information, drop the webmasters a line and ask to be added. (Or if you know of someone who should be on the list but isn't.)

Joining Vesta

Updated for the season 2007/8!

There are three pre-season meetings in the next few weeks planned for men, women and novices. Please see the Rowing at Vesta page for more info.

You can download the Membership Form (and, if you'd like to pay that way, the direct debit forms).

Both these documents are Adobe PDF files - most modern browsers should cope, click here if you want to get a reader.

New members are encouraged to read the welcome pack. Updated summer 2007

The Gym

The rough timetable for gym usage ...

These priorities are in effect from approximately 6pm each night!

NB. These are only priorities, not complete bans on others, but please try to observe them.

Etiquette

When you've used the weights/bars please place them back in the baskets or on one of the mats. This request is especially important on the weekends because the gym is cleaned on Monday mornings.

Would patrons also please note that the ergos and their bungee cords have a much greater life if the handles are left resting against the cage and not in the holders. If this slips your mind and someone points this out, could you refrain from, I quote, "getting huffy"?!

Competition

There's a page about rowing at Vesta and on our results.

Entry Fees

The club does not be under-write entry fees.

Unless otherwise specified, all entries in all races will adhere to this policy.

The Race Fee payment system is as follows:
You write a cheque to 'Vesta Rowing Club' and the Entries Secretaty (Barry Clarke) keeps track of how much money you've paid in and takes the race fees away from this "account". When you run low, you pay more money!

Remember, no cheque = no race entry or NO DOUGH, NO ROW

Any problems? Talk to Barry about it.

Changes of Address

If you've recently moved (or even if you've not so recently moved but have stopped receiving any newsletters and such), please give the membership secretary your new address.

Important Notices

There are some (irregularly updated, but still timely) notices which should be read and understood by all members - ignorance is not a defence!

Kit

Mark Williams is as "The Kit Man" and has a page to market his wares.

News

Aside from the headlines on the front page, there's an archive of some of those stories.
