Best moment with club: It's hard to pinpoint a single moment with so many epic nights like initiations, boston, centurions and the balls but I don't think I could ever forget the smile that was stuck on my face for hours from my first race win. It made all those early morning outings and gym sessions worthwhile.

Role on the committee: To ensure Men's squad is running to plan, smoothly and to maximum efficiency. 

Best moment with club: My best moment with the club is hard to choose amoungst all the socials and boathouse antics, but the one that stands out most would be Maidstone head. Where my crew went and raced in our first division, then later raced, and had a perfect row from the front of the division, arguably one of the best of the year, all then to come back and be topped by the fact that we had just won the IM3 category by a matter of seconds, picking up a nice medal to boot.

My main responsibilities include; the weekly petrol payments, kit orders, purchasing equipment for the club and payment of expenses.

Best moment with club: I have massively enjoyed being part of the club and have had too many amazing and hilarious moments to count, but one of the best must be the shock of winning our heat of our first ever regatta after only 3 days training, having all had 2 months off from Rowing and training over Easter and exams, and after initially looking at our competition and thinking that we were going to fail miserably!

Role on the committee: To ensure the novice outings run as smoothly as possible, maximising rowing time for every club member.

Best moment with club: First learning to row as a novice and getting to know my crew. Going out for a pure banter outing and learning to row in the process as well as making some intense bromance! Nothing comes close..

Role on the committee: It is my responsibility to ensure the club raises enough funds to allow us to achieve all we want to in the up coming year and years to come. Good publicity of the club plays an important role in accomplishing this and so it is also my responsibility to ensure Kent Rowing is promoted in the best possible way both throughout campus and in the surrounding areas.
 

Best moment with club: Through all the great memories Kent rowing has given me this year the most recent is Bedford regatta. It was the last time myself and my crew rowed together and although it was very upsetting I couldn’t have been prouder to be in a boat with them. It was a great race girls, we did good!

Role on the committee: I am here for you, and it’s my job to make sure you enjoy the Kent rowing experience just that little bit more. I shall be organising all our fun socials ranging from BBQs in the sun to rowing balls and nights out around the country. I’m really focused on getting everyone involved so rowing is just if not more enjoyable off the water as it is on it. Let’s foster club spirit and show everyone how good Kent rowing really is!

Best moment with club: I’ve really enjoyed my time with Kent rowing and loved so many experiences I have encountered. However, winning the Novice Head with my crew was definitely the highlight of the year for me, the passion my crew showed and the sense of achievement we got when the results were delivered at the bow ball was brilliant. It just showed me that all the hard work and dedication was worth it.

Role on the committee: As coxing captain it is my responsibility to oversee the allocation of coxes to crews and ensure their competency. Also, this year one of my main priorities is building the number of coxes within the club to ensure its smooth running in future years.

Best moment with club: After two years with the club it’s hard to single out a best moment! Certainly the cold early mornings would not be one of them. However winning at Bedford regatta with my men’s novice crew this summer after coxing them since January certainly ranks among one of my favourite moments.
