Just a little update to keep you all informed of the work happening on all of our behalf in April 2026. There will be another post from the Captain and Vice-Captain regarding more specific on-the-water matters so please stay tuned for that.

• John Mitchell has agreed to help out as Vice-Captain when our club Captain, Colin O'Donnell is away at sea for work and has officially been co-opted by the committee. Thanks John!
• Meitheal Mara are looking for volunteers for their Dragon boat challenge to be held on Saturday 18^thof April and for training 13 April..
• Plans are progressing well with the Fun Regatta that our club is hosting on the 12^thof April. Any members not competing please watch for a call-out for volunteers over the coming days from John Tynan who has been doing great work organizing this event.
• Discussions are ongoing regarding CMAC, Cork Maritime Activity Centre. We now have a representative for the CMAC Ops Committee, thanks to Shane Murphy! But we are still missing a rep for the Financial/Fundraising Working Group.  The first meeting is being held 14 April at 6 pm online. Please let us know if you are inspired to represent NC on that working group.
• We are looking at our site, sussing out funding from old grants, looking at new grant opportunities and trying to figure out next steps as to how to proceed.
• We will need members' help maintaining our new site next to SBC as it is already very overgrown and will be calling for meitheals/volunteers to help with strimming, rubbish pick-up etc so please stay-tuned.
• The Club Calendar has been updated on the Forum so club members can see all events and weekly rows offered by the club. Special events will be added as they come up.
• The subject of the Saturday morning row time and parking issues has been raised by several members, which the committee has discussed. We will be seeking feedback from you as to the preference for a time change to 10am. Please stay-tuned.

Have a lovely Easter weekend!

Mise le meas,

The NC Committee
