DAVID CROPLEY AND JON LARKIN have beaten the WORLD RECORD FOR A 24 HOUR ROW!!!!!!!

The old World Record of 324,911 metres fell at 7:59am on Sunday 29th August on the ergs in the Torrens Gym, and a final World Beating distance of 338,067 metres was achieved by the end of the 24 hours at 9am.

This amazing achievement by David and Jonathon was undertaken in support of both the Club and the WaterAid charity - you can still make a donation to either or both of these causes by donating over the Bar at the Clubhouse or by contacting David at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

The Committee and whole membership congratulate David and Jon heartily, and wish to also thank the many supporting volunteers who provided the medical, nutritional and moral support that helped the boys bring the World Record tumbling down.

After careful deliberation and consultation the Committee of ARC have created and formally adopted a Strategic Plan for the Club.

The Strategic Plan is designed to be a dynamic formal statement of the Club’s position and direction, reviewed annually or as required.· Authored by the Committee of the day with Membership contributions, it clarifies the Club's Vision, Purpose and Values which are in turn defined by five Key Business Areas.·

In it hoped that the Plan will assist current and future Committees and Members when making decisions and allocating resources, including capital and people, by outlining Goals, Objectives and Action Plans which are congruent with the Strategy's analysis of the Club's state and prospects.

You can view your Club's Strategic Plan here.· It will be permanently available on the website through the "For Members" button on the main page menu (in the "Policies, Forms & Other Information" tab).
