June Forum
         

Hope that you all enjoyed the Dorney Ball Cup Regatta.  A very long day and not only for the competitors.  Thanks to Phil Clements and his band of volunteers; we must never forget in our moments of reaction to adverse situations that the umpires, marshals and officials do all this for the love of the game.  A word of thanks at an appropriate moment does wonders for next year !     Huge appreciation is also due to Mike Sweeney and the Henley Stewards Charitable Trust, without whose annual munificence the Ball Regattas would falter.

      Talking of which, now that preparation and Ball competition is over for another year,  I am also taking a well earned rest from answering those emails and writing your coaching forum.  In something of a congratulatory note, the forum has been seized upon by a national squad, not British, who want to examine practically the section on Resonance, with yours truly possibly in advisory attendance.  So maybe it’s a grand European tour !   Surprisingly, we are also in discussion regarding the forum contents going into print.  Such will have copyright applied, but I will leave things on the Ball site until such time as things evolve.  If these articles have been useful to coaches and clubs, feel free to download while they are still there.

       I will open shop again in the Early Winter.  In the meantime, have a winning Summer !
