I intend re-running the "captains" training evening that we held last March. This was very successful at the time and many members were disappointed when they were unable to attend. This could more accurately be described as the theoretical background knowledge that not just captains should know to keep us all safe on the water, it's just more informally referred to as captains training. This particular evening is aimed at all rowers, not just captains. This particular "captains" training evening is only aimed at river rowing, not for captaining on more adventurous trips such as out to the Blaskets for example.
Topics covered include tides, weather, captain admin duties, boats & equipment, onshore contact, how to get help in an emergency, embarkations & stability, COLREGS, boat handling, crew management.
Meitheal Mara have again kindly let us use their facilities in Crosses Green, and I will hold it at 1900 on Monday evening 20th July
Please do sign up below rather than just show up (we need to keep the class size at an appropriate size for the venue)

Me too! Thanks Colin - Stacy
Excellent. That's 7 sofar, I think we can comfortably take another 3.
I should have mentioned earlier, that this session is also open to people who have already done captains training before. The last time I ran it people were surprised by how much content there was to take in, and we will all take it in at different levels. Despite everyone being at different levels of knowledge or training, everyone learned stuff. So all are welcome.
I have confirmed with Meitheal Mara that we have sufficient numbers and we're going ahead.
Thanks,
Colin
Colin, I will be there this evening, thanks Orla
