Junior members, Lottie Adrians and Grace Ricketts
headed to New South Wales to compete in the State
Championships in Penrith.
L-R Lottie Adrians and Grace Ricketts (Loving the tee shirt
Lottie)
The girls competed in the unde 17 single and double
events. Whilst the girls did not win their events they
rowed brilliantly and should be proud of themeselves.
Apologies
In the last edition of the yabbie I had the crew
names incorrect. The above crew is (L-R) Lisa
Bates, Dahni Houseman, Jo Jackson and Marion
Kinkead. Cox. Alison Hallahan. Again, my
apologies.
Moomba River Closures
Friday 1st, Monday 4th & Tuesday 5th of March the
river will be CLOSED from 9.00am – midday
and from 1.00pm until 4.30pm
Wednesday 6th March – Monday 11th March The
River CLOSED FROM PRINCES BRIDGE TO
MORELL BRIDGE. There will also be parking
restrictions leading up to Moomba in Boathouse
Drive. See attached information from Parks
Victoria.
The function area of the club house will be
closed Monday 10th March from 11.00am –
3.00pm for a private Birdman Rally
function
Scull Racks
The scull rack that is housed next to Carey (eights
bay) is often left out after crews have put their boats
away. If you are the only YYRC boat out of that side
of the shed can you please put the rack back. If
anyone else takes a boat from that side of the shed
they can get the rack out.
Regatta Entries
Please make sure that your regatta entries are
complete when you post them on the website. Entries
with no coxswain name will not be entered.
Oars
Can members please put oars back in the correct
rack. All oars racks are labelled. The Jo Jackson/John
Roche oars go in the rack labelled “Jo Jackson/John
Roche” etc. Again, time was wasted looking for oars.
It can’t be that hard can it?
We asked that members do not take oars allocated to
quads or men’s sculling oars when taking out doubles.
Please use Lisa Brown/Mark Brown oars or the Ron
Mitchell oars
Trestles
The Safety Committee has requested that members
do not use the trestles as chairs. Trestles are not
designed to be sat on and once again, members are
asked not to use them as seats. The club will not be
held responsible for any injuries caused by members
ignoring this request.
Boat Bookings & Boat Allocations
The On Water Committee would like to remind
members to book their boats in advance (not as they
are taking the boat out of the shed). With the Jack
and Stu not being suitable to be rowed as a pair any
more, the committee would like members to be
receptive to taking out the Mark Brown and Ron
Mitchell when booking doubles. Doubles do not
require foot steering and the steering has been
removed from these two boats.
Thank You
An huge thank you to Craig Andrians and Carey for
allowing us to borrow two boats for Henley and
providing us with an elusive cox. Without Craigs
support we would not have been able to field the five
Female Masters Crews. Thanks must also go to Tim
who was happy to help out with adjustments.
Legends.
Henly On The Yarra
The sheds were buzzing on Saturday morning with
crews getting ready to compete in various events.
Yarra Yarar fielded 10 crews across six events.
We had five crews competing in the Female
Masters Coxed Quad. Not sure how the draw
worked but the first two heats saw four Yarra
Yarra crews up against each other. Out of the
five crews competing, two made it through to
the semi finals. Well Done.
L-R Melissa Cameron, Jule May, Tracey Jones
and Jenny Hall.
L-R Maxi Wiliams (Cox), Lil, Sabine, Dahni and
Lisa winning their first heat.
Male Coxed Quad. L-R Deb Spring (cox), Andy,
Ed, Stu and Jack. The boys made it through to
the semi final after some tough competition.
Congratulations to the Mens C Grade Coxed Quad
Scull who beat 29 other crews to win this event. The
boys had to battle it out over four races but in the end
the best crew won – Yarra Yarra! Oarsome win
gentlemen.
L-R Gareth McShea, James McDdonell, Neil Williams,
Ben Elgar-White and Jeremey Hofsteede (Cox).
Mens Masters 8 heading of to do battle. After being
knocked out in the first heat, the “boys” were not too
disappointed and decided to enjoy the racing YYRC
style.
Happy Chappies.
Good Luck to those members competing in the
Sate Championships this weekend.

Words fail me.
A Special Thanks to Liz Bolam who between
competing in the three heats in the FM4X+, was
making lunches for the volunteers. With time
running out and her “support” team also in her
crew, Liz was frantically trying to assemble 30
lunches in between three heats of the WM4X+.
With the clock ticking, Dahni, Lil, Lisa and
Sabine were sabotaged whilst putting their oars
away and asked if they could please help out.
Happily said they would even though they were
desperate for a coffee. (Lil I can still see that
haunted look in your eyes when I said coffee
would have to wait. It was like someone had
taken away your puppy.) They pitched in with
huge smiles on their faces. Thank you.
All signs point to Yarra Yarra. Roadside sign on
