Andy
Dunn (right) in happy times as a winner in Men's Veteran Fours
at Scottish Rowing Championships in 2003, with crewmates (left

It is with sadness that we record the death of Andy Dunn,
who suffered a stroke on Monday of last week and died in hospital
on Sunday 25th January.
Andy had been a ‘rowing man’ for well over 50 years
– at Hutchesons’ Grammar, then Glasgow University, as
a founder member (and former president) of Castle Semple, and also
member of Clydesdale and the North British rowing clubs. He had
rowed for Scotland and was in active training right up to the time
of his death – preparing, amongst other things, for the Vesta
Veterans Head for Eights on the Thames in the spring.
A regular at the FISA Masters (he raced at Vichy in 2003), Andy
had already volunteered his services to assist in Scotland’s
hosting of the event in 2005 – having once previously made
a reputation for himself as the organiser of the fondly-remembered
post-regatta ball at the FISA Masters the last time it was staged
in Scotland in 1988.
Andy Dunn was an oarsman, coach, organiser, motivator, commentator,
writer – there wasn’t much he didn’t do in rowing.
The funeral will be held at St. Machar’s Church, Kilbarchan
Road, Bridge of Weir on Tuesday 3 February at 12.00 and everybody
will be most welcome. The burial will be private.
Draw for Western Head: the start orders for Division
1 and Division 2
of Saturday's Western Head of the Clyde are now up.

As in 2003,
the fastest time of the day was set by Colin Williamson of
Aberdeen University, winning the Under 23 Heavyweight event.

SARA Open Indoor Rowing Championships - official results:
a busy day's competition on Saturday, and many thanks to everyone
who made it possible (Concept 2, North Lanarkshire Council, Dalziel
High School, the event team and scrutineers) and to the competitors
who were always in the right place at the right time as far as I
could see! The full official
results are here (pdf format, free
Acrobat Reader download if you don't already have it). I hope
later to publish the computer data which includes all the 500m split
times - and there is even the possibility that we will have the
opportunity for competitors to replay the big-screen display of
their race so you can see how you performed stroke by stroke. Look
back here for these updates.
Racing Licence Reminder: race control convenor
Sandy Walker has asked me to re-emphasise this information already
circulated to clubs some time ago.
"All clubs have been advised that the turn round time for
licence applications is two weeks. This means two weeks before the
entry date for your first regatta.You are required to enter your
licence number on the entry form or you leave yourself liable to
the surcharge which clubs agreed at the AGM. On no account will
licence numbers be provided by e-mail or telephone at short notice."
Please also note that there is an updated document of advice
an information on the application process, also linked from
the 'downloads' page. |
