parent volunteers at the start of each season. As our girls graduate from SMC Rowing, it is helpful to bring new parents into the fold who are keen to take on responsibility and who can help us to maintain the momentum we have built within the parents’ group. The head of each group of parents meets with the Rowing Manager throughout the season, and shares ideas from the wider parent community. At the end of each season, the head of each group will report back on the past season, to ensure the continued development of the team in the year ahead. 10 11
