For those who couldn’t make it along on Boxing Day, Steve Bunn has prepared a document outlining the current boathouse development plan.
There is a comments book in the cabin that everyone can use to add their thoughts or comments.

Wobble Cam
Some pics and video from Steve B as he says
“Here’s a couple of still shots and short clip from ‘wobble cam’ taken during one of our medium rating high pressure pieces. You can see that if I can mount the camera so it doesn’t wobble this will be a good angle for coaching analysis…”
We also have a couple of clips from Jude taken from a more traditional angle:
Wednesday Evening Club Sessions 6:30
Now that Heather’s Wednesday strength and conditioning sessions have ended, I’ve added a weekly club session to the members calendar for 6:30 each Wednesday so we can enjoy some evening rowing.
The format of will depend on numbers but could be some quad racing from the weir or maybe some lazy evenings enjoying a tranquil paddle to Dochgarroch.
It would be useful to get some idea of the number of people who will be coming along so please let us know on the member website – the link to tomorrow’s session is:-

AGM: 14th April
The club will hold its AGM on 14th April at 11am – see attached agenda. Venue will be advised later.
The minutes from last year’s meeting are too large to email (as they include the architect’s report that Roy presented) so I’ve put them on the members’ website. They can be accessed from the following link (you will need to log into the system to gain access):- members.invernessrowing.uk/outings/index.php?r=cfiles%2Fbrowse%2Findex&fid=5&sguid=9283c1cb-a25f-43d8-88d4-dfd2f555cca5
Tents (Friday at 10) and Marshalls (Saturday & Sunday at 9:30)
Just a quick reminder that we’ll be putting up the tents tomorrow (Friday) starting at 10am and hopefully finishing by 11:30. Please come along if you are available.
I have also attached details of how we will organise crews at the start this year. Can all start marshals please read over this before Saturday?
Can I ask everyone who is down on the rota to be a start marshal to come to the event briefing at 9:30 each morning and then stay behind after that so that we can allocate people to marshalling groups and answer any questions you may have on the marshalling plan?
Thanks
Dave
Ice Picture – 2nd Feb 19
Just 2 patches of ice left. Should lift in the next couple of days but, sadly, no rowing on Sunday as the steps/pontoons are not free of ice and there’s a 100m section at the corner by the wall that’s solid.

“Individuals who believe their talents can be developed (through hard work, good strategies, and input from others) have a growth mindset. They tend to achieve more than those with a more fixed mindset (those who believe their talents are innate gifts). This is because they worry less about looking smart and they put more energy into learning. When entire organisations embrace a growth mindset, their employees, volunteers, members, parents etc. report feeling far more empowered and committed; they also receive far greater organisational support for collaboration and innovation. In contrast, people at primarily fixed-mindset organisations report more of only one thing: cheating and deception among leaders, employees, volunteers members and others, presumably to gain an advantage in the talent race.
Mindset is a buzzword in many sectors and organisations, even working its way into their mission statements. But when we probe, you often discover that people’s understanding of the idea is limited. This workshop will look at three common misconceptions, how to embed a growth mindset culture across organisations, and provide attendees with tools, methods and techniques to lead organisational change towards creating an environment conducive to Growth Mindset.
This workshop will explore mindset and go beyond the theory of mindset and explore the different mindsets and where they exist in organisations. It will also look at creating learning environments to improve practice, performance and productivity leading to a GM culture and will also explore effective implementation across clubs.“
