Cadet Rowers

The aim of this section is to provide information for the cadets and any one interested in becoming a cadet.

We’ll include some pictures and anything else that might be of interest.

Our first bulletin concerns my assistant for the last year Rupert Thomas. Having helped coach the cadets through a very successful season he is now moving to Bristol through work commitments. He’ll be missed by the cadets and the club but we wish him well and good luck in all he does.

On the plus side, I have now been joined by Toby White, a London University rower with a background in junior coaching and is currently studying for his final year in teaching and psychology (so he’ll have plenty of work to do!). We welcome him on board and hope we can enjoy the same success for the next season.

If you need to get in touch please us the methods listed on the contact us page and I will reply.
Many thanks

Child Protection

Everyone who takes part in rowing is entitled to do so in an enjoyable and safe environment. To ensure this, the ARA has developed principles that all its personnel and member clubs should follow. 

The principles apply to everyone involved in rowing, but young people and vulnerable adults in particular are entitled to a higher duty of care and to be protected from poor practice or abuse. 

Everyone working in rowing either in a paid or a voluntary capacity, together with those working in affiliated organisations, has a role to play in safeguarding the welfare of children and preventing their abuse. Anyone may have regular contact with junior athletes and could be a very important link in identifying cases where a child needs protection. 

If you wish to speak to our Child Welfare Officer, Amanda Hames, please telephone or email our Secretary 07776 176253 to request a call back.
Your call will be treated as private and confidential unless you wish to make your identity known to the executive committee.
