Dear MRCler,
Dear rowing friends,
Spring comes and invites you to many activities!
With the rowing we start into a sporty as well as work-related intensive season, which challenges our team spirit and sense of community. The reward is a lot of fun as well as being part of the success and the club family. Let's go!

Spring cleaning on 23.3.2026
Because of the early Easter, this year's spring cleaning will already take place on Saturday, March 21.
The clearing and plastering work is also related to the upcoming refurbishment measures: For each 2 areas we need motivated helpers:
Part 1: Routine program water / women's house / terrain.
- Start is 11:30 a.m.: Please arrive on time so that the arrangement works well. Saturday rowers should also be back at the pier by 10:30 a.m. at the latest.
- Official end is 4:00 p.m.
- Please bring some cleaning utensils.
Part 2: Relocation of furniture etc. from the HH to Oberschleißheim.
- Start is 9:00 a.m.: We are looking for about 20 volunteers who are ready to start earlier and accompany the transport to OSH.
- Volunteers please contact Rolf: rolf.schuh1@googlemail.com.
- The action is estimated to last until 18:00.
- Hangers are available. You are welcome to bring cordless screwdrivers etc.
Around 1 p.m., the MRC invites all helpers to a lunch prepared by Katrin and served by the club service – thank you very much at this point!
In this context, we would like to point out that the MRC will call for special actions even more often during the upcoming remediation measures. For example, in July/August the shingles are to be removed from the facade on their own, at some point an emergency changing room for the gentlemen must be set up, and the boats must also be moved. Of course, we will announce such actions in good time.
Club services 2026
Club members have already been informed of their service allocation. What is new is that the chief of the service prints out the service list sent to him, on the Saturday bring along, Hanging on the pinboard in the main house and sign it.
What are the interesting tasks of the Sunday service (‘rowing service’)? It is more about providing social assistance internally (assistance for members) and externally (e.g. welcoming guests).
The rowing service makes it possible to offer a rowing meeting on Sundays between 10:00 and 12:00 for members without a fixed team and, if necessary, with little rowing experience. The officers help the participants with the classification and preparation, or accompany them as a helmsman on the lake.
The respective rowing service is registered in the Crewman at the beginning of the week with the title ‘10.00 Open rowing - with XY’. In addition, an entry at 10 a.m. in the ‘calendar’ will be made.
If you cannot come to the service, please look for a replacement in good time (exchange on the internal homepage).
If you do not manage to complete your service in the season, you will be asked to pay 250 €.

Other benefit events: Public Viewing and Flea Market
‘Behringer and the Dead’ in the RTL
For the broadcast of the Behringer Krimis on 10.3. at RTL, a public viewing with popcorn and drinks took place in the MRC. Around 40 members followed the crime novel, which showed beautiful perspectives on our boathouse. Around 255 euros were donated that evening and benefit from the refurbishment.
Sun is shining, spring is coming – flea market time!
On 16 May from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. We are planning a flea market on the grounds of our club (replacement date in case of rain 13.6.26). We would like to open the site to visitors and walkers and are happy if as many of you as possible participate and sell.
That's why every time in your houses, apartments and cellars, also those of parents and grandparents search for beautiful things.
If you do not want to open your own table, you can also hand over individual (!), special pieces that we collect and offer at a common table.
It is sure to be a beautiful and fun event where everyone, regardless of age and budget, can help advance the Clubhouse Renovation project: All proceeds go to the clubhouse. Please contact us if you want to help us plan better. For the organization, we are also looking for people who support us, also from the youth. We look forward to seeing you and the common idea!

Kristin, Claudia and hopefully many others …
