Kit Window
13th May 2021
By popular demand a new kit window is open for those of you who are in need of some racing strip or just topping up the rowing stash. The window is open from now until next Monday 24th May when the order will be finalised. The delivery window will be early to mid July, in time for the second-half of the summer season and beyond.
Click this link to access the Cygnet Teamroom and contact Rupert for the login password (which has been emailed to the membership)
OPEN: 11th - 24th May
DELIVERY: Approx 6-8 weeks
CONTACT: Rupert Bailey (social secretary)- A couple of the guys have found that some of the kit can be on the snug side (kit or beer, your call on what's responsible) so if in doubt on the snug fitting kit like the all-in-one, consider the size up.
- The Primary racing strip is the "Wave Rowing Suit" (blue primary colour), the retro "Team Rowing" AIO is the optional second strip - so if you're just getting one I'd recommend the blue to comply with racing regs.
- There are both Men's and Women's designs by default so order carefully, unless buying for your fairer halves.
- The Gilet and Unisex Tech Top come highly recommended and if you want to keep the coach happy, there's some high-viz in there too.
Any questions let me know, or feel free to call into the Crewroom shop on Putney embankment to try out sizing. Happy shopping team.
Iain Golder still has a few of larger sizes of the recent "Back on the Water" custom tee shirts available. Contact Iain directly if you're interested.
We also have various items of other club kit, both active and formal, 'in stock'. Click here for details and contact the Treasurer (Matt Byrne) if you fancy a bargain.

Happy Friday Cygnets,
Hope everyone is doing well. So little by little light at the end of the tunnel. 3 Days to go.
It has been a long time so please take it easy on the return to the water, be kind with yourself (please see this document). Don't forget safety first. Here you can see the last update from British Rowing regarding return to rowing protocols.
Facilities will be open to allow COVID-Secure boating - it means quick In-Out, leave valuables, ideally no changing, no faffing (no bikes in the changing room), no activities in the shed.
On water Activity: All crew boats are allowed subject to COVID Secure protocols. For us it means Squad Outings as usual following the guidelines, taking into account limitation of space on the hard and no social gathering of people afterwards in the club vicinity. Please try to cover your face inside the boat shop and indoors since it is an area where it is difficult to maintain social distance.
Self-Organised outings:
As previously book your slots in this excel file:
Squad Training/Outings:
Objective is to get everyone little by little on the water, first to have fun and then building up towards the summer. Starting Easter Weekend - Sessions are provisionally in fitclub - Please update your availability so we can start to plan best.
S&C Condition with Charlie will be starting Wednesday 7th April. Circuits and mobility plan can be found on the google sheets.
And I think that is all for the moment. More will follow in due course. If you have any questions please check with the captaincy.
Have a nice weekend and a safe return to the water
Cris
