Calling all scullers from across Australia and New Zealand!
Join same-sex attracted scullers (past and present) from rowing clubs across Australia and New Zealand at Albert Park Lake for a weekend of sculling skills development under the guidance of one of Victoria's most experienced coaches. Help us build a strong regional network of gay & lesbian rowers whilst building our skills with the oars. The focus will be on technical improvement primarily in singles, although some crewed sessions may be incorporated. Scullers will be streamed according to ability and activities will encompass sessions on-water, real-time video ergo feedback, tailored training programs, basic rigging, and a health & wellbeing seminar. Additionally, there will be a dinner with a guest speaker on Saturday night and a workshop on ways we can increase the level of participation by same-sex attracted people in rowing.
After a weekend of rowing - we can 'cool down' at the T Dance at Midsumma Carnival!
This event is coordinated by Melbourne Argonauts Queer Rowing Club in association with Rowing Victoria and Midsumma and is made possible by support from the 1st Asia Pacific Outgames Legacy Fund.
Please note that this activity is not appropriate for beginners or people with less than one year’s sculling experience in crewed boats or six months in a single. Beginners are encouraged to attend the Melbourne Argonauts Midsumma Event 'Splash & Giggle' on 7 February 2010. Places are limited. The Saturday night dinner will be open to a wider group. The organisers reserve the right to hold a number of available places open to ensure an adequate representation of female athletes and athletes from outside the Melbourne metropolitan area. Depending on circumstance, limited financial assistance may be available for athletes who travel from Queensland, Northern Territory, Western Australia and New Zealand.
