Twelve issues a year would put us into the major leagues - and maybe even onto the magazine stand. As for the complaint about committees, it's a good point. All I'm trying to do is give information about an important aspect of the sport. Rowing does not just happen. Many people around the country work hard at this, and those involved in officiating are no exception.
Officials have meetings.
They actually sit around and discuss how to do their jobs better. That's why I think it is worthwhile to occasionally write about it. Preparations for a rowing season are made in committee rooms and the decisions made can sometimes affect the way regattas are run. Perhaps the revamped RCA web site might give us an alternative. Routine information about meetings and administrative matters can be put on the web and other, more colourful and compelling material can be published in the magazine.
