Section D Achievements and performance
The nearly two-year pandemic has been a challenge for families and Summary of the main businesses alike. Rowing and activities have been off then on, and we achievements of the charity still wait with bated breath what 2022 will bring. during the year After last period of lockdown, January to March 2021, the club instigated rowing bubbles and procedures to limit cross infection. Rowing picked up slowly, but by mid-year there were often 10 crews a week out enjoying the Helford amongst the holiday makers. The club still represents a good mix of age and ability, and we feel that we meet our objectives of providing healthy recreation for all the community. The club was successful in its application to the Cornwall Council for a grant to support businesses during the pandemic and this allowed us to halve the membership fee for 2020/21 and hopefully ease the financial pressures on members and their families. Despite all the activity of club rowers on the Helford only a few summer events took place. Helford had great fun at Fowey where 6 other clubs enjoyed a mixed weather day of racing. Well done to our amazing teams who slogged their hearts out at the Falmouth regatta on the 9th October. The weather was clear, the water smooth, and the company grand. The only other event that we attended was the Hayle U14/U15 event where the Helford Juniors did exceptional well coming joint 2[nd] . Unfortunately, Helford did not host either the Mini Scillies (April) or the Head of the River Race (Oct/Nov) because of legislation and then COVID concerns. Helford are a successful and highly competitive club who have had many successes over the years. We aim to continue that great record and the club started in September to put together the programme and procedures for selection of members to represent Helford at the World Championships in the Isles of Scilly in May 2022. The selectors aim to balance the wishes of the club members along with the objectives of the club to field the most competitive crews in all categories. The club trustees and committee are working and developing structure and procedures to maintain and improve governance and management of the club. There have been no reported accidents during the period. Open-water Cox training of 11 members took place in October and this course is planned to be repeated in 2022. The club has continued with plans to ensure that it maintains its facilities and equipment. To this end we took possession of a new wooden gig built by Peter Williams of Fowey. The gig unfortunately sat in Gweek boat shed until July when we were able to have a gathering on Pedn Billy beach and bless her and name her Morgawr. Morgawr is the mythical sea monster that is reported to live in Falmouth Bay. Plans also move forward on the sale of land to assist with the development of our clubhouse facility at Gweek. Planning has been granted and a 106 declaration is about to be signed such that we can soon offer the land for sale through an agent.
