Treasure Hunt - The trophies

These are the fabulous trophies we have on offer! Real gold (plastic), custom engraved (but not for us) on a genuine marble (might actually be true!) base. Purchased at great expense (in a charity shop). We gave them away last year but somehow they ended up back in the club hut. Maybe they didn't fit in with the winner's home decor. 

Could they grace your mantlepiece? (And need dusting for the next year.) Please, I'm fed up of looking at them!! :¬)

 

The link to the 2018/19  Online Membership Renewal Form is on the Membership page on the Club's website - membership renewal couldn't be easier.

Please note that the Club's bank account recently changed to Lloyds Bank Plc (sort code 30-98-90, account number 17250868).  If you have the old bank account details setup for BACS (online banking etc), this should not be used and should be deleted / amended to reflect the current club bank account details.

Please contact the Membership Secretary (Andy Sutton) if there are any issues arising.

Plea for Club Photos

Your Webmaster needs your help!

I am looking to update the photos on the Club website, however, am struggling to find recent photos of club activities and/or members that can be posted on the club's website pages. I seem to recall that there were lots of photos taken of Sunday paddles from the shore in 2016 but do not have access to them.

If you can help please contact me or email suitable photos to rcc.webmaster@outlook.com

Website Updates

Info from your club Webmaster:
- The Club's Calendar has been updated and made more accessible with a link on the menu area from most if not all RCC webpages. Members are invited to noted and keep free the dates for Bourne Outdoor Pool sessions Jun/Jul/Aug 17.
- There is a revised link to the Club's photo gallery; this is an archived area given that Google has shutdown Picasa Web Albums. Your Webmaster is working on a new method for uploading and sharing photos of club events, and will advise accordingly in a future Blog.

Sarah was accompanied on her final stretch by fellow paddlers from Rutland Canoe Club - click on the 'Gallery' link for pictures of the days events.

Sarah, a massive well done and welcome home from all your friends at RCC!!!
