Register now! 2012 Scullers Head of the Potomac

Charlie Butt established W-L Crew in 1949. W-L Crew first garnered national headlines for winning the Royal Henley Regatta in 1964 (first year a U.S. school participated) and again, in 1969. Between 1949 and 1987, W-L Crew won the National Scholastic title 12 times.

Ms. Samantha Byrd, chair of Potomac Boat Club’s Regatta Committee, announces that registration is open for the 2012 Charlie Butt Annual Scullers Head of the Potomac (SHOP).

The SHOP, scheduled for Sunday, September 30, has been held every year for the last 32 years in honor of legendary rowing coach Charlie Butt.  Considered an important milestone on the fall racing calendar, the SHOP includes more than 40 sweep and sculling events with crews coming from all over North America and the world.

Last year, the PBC Regatta Committee has reworked the race schedule to better accommodate large entry events and provide more time between events for multi-entry participants.  Please check the registration page linked above for important registration deadlines.  SHOP Race Headquarters will be at Thompsons Boat Center. 

A new dedicated SHOP site with registration info, waivers and other information is also coming soon!

Questions regarding the SHOP should be emailed to the Regatta Committee’s new SHOP co-chair, Peter Clements, at headofthepotomac@gmail.com.  Volunteers, it’s never too early to make your availability known!

The Regatta Committee wishes you the best of luck as you finish up the summer racing season.

See you in September at the SHOP!

PBC men fall in line for head race season

Yep. Fall is here. After an insanely successful summer, PBC’s Men’s Sweep Team is gearing up for this weekend’s Scullers Head of the Potomac (SHOP), as well as another successful head race season. This may be the best fall for the men in a long time … but they usually do pretty well, right, PBC?!

Below are a few photos taken during yesterday’s deary, drizzly morning practice.  Apologies for the fuzzy ones (photos, that is). We weren’t expecting it to be so dark for so long already!

See you at the SHOP on Sunday!

Your chintzy, hastily thrown together viewing guide to the 2010 HOCR

People.  You know it.  And we know it. The Head of the Charles Regatta deserves much better than this from the Potomac Star. After all, Potomac Boat Club won the Men’s Championship Eight event at the very first Head of the Charles Regatta back in 1965! We go way back. But like a lot of folks who’ve been together for a long time, you get comfy, and well, sometimes you just kind of let things slide. It’s cute. Like love-handles and leaving your wet trou on the bathroom doorknob. Right?

Oh.

Anyway, below you’ll find the list of the PBC’ers competing at the Charles this weekend. As usual, we’re not sure if it’s complete or not, but from Beltway Bandits to WeCanRow, it’s the folks we could dig up. Below the list, you’ll find the event schedule with links back to the official HOCR site so you’ll know when to look for your favorite rowers on the course. (Remember, text in red means a link.)

If you’re rowing at the Charles and we left you off of the list, please send your name to Penelope at penelope@potomacstar.com, so we can make you famous.

And, Charlie, baby?  Please don’t let the stolen content and poorly formatted tables make you think we don’t care anymore.  We still feel that spark … even after 46 years.

GO PBC!!!

Register to race … only 6 days left! And volunteers still needed!

Crews head to the finish and through the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge during the SHOP.

• Click here to register! Final registration closes this Saturday, Sept. 18!
• Looking to volunteer?  We love you! Read Ed Ryan’s note below. (Instructions included!)

The 30th Annual Charlie Butt Scullers Head of the Potomac (SHOP) will be held this year on Sunday, September 26.   Regular registration closed on Saturday, September 11, 2010, but you can still register until this Saturday, September 18, by going to Ronin, registering, and by paying a small late fee, in addition to your registration fee.

After Saturday, not even your saddest puppy-dog eyes, most emphatic “pretty pleases,” or largest offers of cash to the Potomac Star at largeoffersofcash@potomacstar.com (now accepting PayPal) will get you racing at the SHOP.  No Race Day registration anymore, either.  So, go ahead.  Register already.

And don’t forget, PBC, we need you to help make the 2010 another success!  Volunteer today! Here is the how-to from our SHOP volunteer coordinator, Ed Ryan.

Yes, PBC members, spouses and friends, WE NEED YOU to help run the ONE SINGLE REGATTA that Potomac Boat Club sponsors each year. It takes a village to run this show, about 75 volunteers in total, and if you’ve been racing for Potomac, using Potomac equipment, have pride in your Club or just want something good and fun to do on a nice autumn Sunday, this is your chance.

I’m particularly interested in getting our competitive teams to respond as groups, and we’ll find fun and exciting group activities. For example, last year, the Masters Rowing Program (MRP) handled all of the launch preparation, and it was great. One big job and they independently figured out who could do it and when.

Here’s the background. The Regatta is on SUNDAY, September 26th. We need volunteers who can work (i) morning shift – 7:30 a.m. – noon, (ii) afternoon shift – noon – 4:00 p.m., or (iii) all day. Good intentions aside, please don’t say you can work in that 45 minute gap between the masters 4 and your spa appointment – you get no good conscience points and it doesn’t help us. AM, PM or all day.

So, if you can take us up on this Call to Arms, PLEASE DO THIS (and read carefully): send an email to headofthepotomac@gmail.com, and state whether you can work morning, afternoon or all day, whether you can drive a launch, and include your cell phone number and email address. Then save the date on your calendar, and you’ll hear back from us.

 Finally, our sincere gratitude and appreciation to all of the great and good-natured volunteers from last year.  It was a terrific day that went ultra smooth — it was wonderful for Potomac Boat Club to host such an event.

Many thanks,
Ed Ryan, on behalf of the Regatta Committee
