The Wellington Rowing Club AGM and opening of the season will be held on Sunday 1st August 2021.

We look forward to seeing you all at the Club for Lotto 8s (on the water or ergs) at 10am followed by lunch and the AGM at 12 noon.

All members are entitled to vote at the meeting.

We have a number of vacant positions that we will be seeking to fill. Many hands make light work is most relevant here and we all depend on enough volunteers to keep the club growing and thriving. We aim to rotate half the club officers and board each year. The term for each role reflects the need to get us back to this rhythm after a few early retirements in the last year.

The positions to be filled this year are:

• President - to be elected for a two-year term (incumbent: Huw Mitchell);
• Club Captain - to be elected for a one-year term (incumbent: Joe O'Neill)
• Secretary - to be elected for a two-year term (incumbent: Jo-Anne Stokes);
• Club Vice-Captain - to be elected for a two-year term (incumbent Liz Pittman);
• Vice-President - to be elected for a one-year term (role vacant); and
• wo elected Board Members - each to be elected for a two-year term (incumbents Allan Mills and Billy Rine).
