ISSUE 1 • 2016 – 2017 welcome
A Happy New Year to all club members , and welcome to the first GCBC newsletter of 2017 ( thank you Tom Fox for bringing this together ).
As we say goodbye to 2016 , we can celebrate a successful year for the club . The largest men ’ s squad for 5 years upped the dedication to training , and as a result have become one of the ones to beat in Durham . The women ’ s squad have progressed significantly as a friendly , cohesive squad , and continue to move towards becoming the Queens of the Wear . The club also had a successful fresher intake , with both seniors squads growing in size , and socials seeing a large numbers of fresher ’ s . The year ahead offers plenty of opportunity for everyone , both for rowing and socially . The annual GCBC ball is first at the start of February , with WEHORR and HORR following in March , and Boat camp lined up for the Easter holidays . The summer term will see GCBC competing at multiple regattas , including ; York , Hexham , and Durham , with the term ending with the traditional summer cruise . Thank you to David Drury and all outgoing exec for their hard work during the last year , let ’ s make 2017 an even better one ! We hope you enjoy reading this first edition .
