Posted By: Greg Taylor on September 17, 2008 | 9:47 p.m.

For those that would like to pay their dues via credit/debit card, follow the "Pay Dues" link in the left sidebar. Please make sure you include your full name in the notes field at the end of the form during checkout, especially if your parents are paying for you.

Novice dues are to be turned in today, varsity were due last Wednesday. If you have not paid already, please do so as soon as possible or you will be held off of the water.

Cheap Labor Needed

Hello all,

I mentioned getting the team involved in working on the website last year, and we are now at the point in development where this is now feasible. I'd like to throw the possibility of working on our site to anyone on the team who is interested. There are plenty of things that need doing aside from the real ultra-nerdy pocket protector type stuff. I'll list a few examples, but if you have other ideas or would just like to get involved somehow (regardless of experience), let me know.

A few examples of things I could use help with:

• A section on rowing terminology and technique. This requires no real techy background, just some knowledge of rowing and enough time to write a few pages. This would be a great help for the novice.
• A better overview of our facilities and locations with photos. Again, no technical background needed. This will help with recruiting and teams that are looking at us for Clemson Sprints or Spring break.
• Help entering some of the old results into the regatta system. This is extremely important, as it's a look back at our team's history. We hope to eventually be able to see all of the races that our past members have participated in, how they fared, and what our record times are.
• For those that have some kind of programming background, feel free to step up to help work on the website's internals. There are all kinds of projects here that you can help with, and it's reasonably simple stuff to work on.

If you have any other ideas that aren't listed above, let me know. Building a strong, useful site is a very big undertaking and it will be a lot better with more involvement from the team. Send me an email at gtaylor@clemson.edu with any questions, volunteerage, or anything else.

Practice 9.4 and 9.5

Varsity,

Crisler will be taking you out on the water again today. I am going to be on land with the novices. I know you guys got off the water later than you would have liked on Tuesday. So I will reiterate again - Make sure you get there on time. That means before 5 so you are ready to go at 5. The workout fits the time allotted to get off the water on time... but it is up to you to get there early enough.

As for practice on Friday, it will be an erg piece on your own. The afternoon is planned for going on the water with mixed novice and varsity boats, so try to do you erg earlier in the day. Again no sprinting at the end of any of the pieces. Average about 5 seconds above your 6k. Make sure to record your average split and meters when you are finished.
