Duncan, Christian and White thing added to refer to how in certain circles, White people should be ignored (naturally bigoted) and to refer to NicolaJaynes bigot post. What she is referring to regarding Rowing UK, cannot be discussed on here, a 5 feet 6 inch 9 stone rower comprehensively thrashed in a race by a 6 feet 2 inch 18 stone rower. (general figures but close enough). Rowing GB asked Putin for advice he replied, "Easy have separate races".
Closest I can come to issue without causing ructions we had earlier, Google Rowing GB 'Latest news. Edited to add, You don't have to go to Church/Chapel to be a Christian, I am a non denominational Christian, I don't go due to total lack of leadership, Church should be campaigning against rampant profiteering etc.

Really? Royalist majority is a thing, unfortunately. But being a Christian is definitely not a majority thing . Current figures are that less that 4% of the uk go to church regularly. 😀 Plus I see no importance or relevancy to this discussion that your white
or green or yellow or red or any other colour for that matter. Other than sailing is a very white sport , which is its loss.

Don't forget the BKA, UKWA (and countless other watercraft owner/racer organisations).

AFAIK the BCU haven;t done anything dreadful yet the Rowing lot prefer to listen to the witless and irrelevant and Putin funded agitators rather than the evidence |

I tend to agree that Royal Yachting Association doesn't really do what it says on the tin. I think the Royal support is invaluable and shouldn't be lost in a rebrand. There are few other sports that get the royal seal of approval. Royal Watersports Association might be a more suitable name though!

the problem is that would piss off the BCU and the bigot collective that is UK Rowing to say the least |

it's great - good on them for moving on with the times.... next step, dump the R 'royal' bit.
in fact, dump the Y 'yachting' bit too.
Nothing wrong with A - 'association' per say, but it's a bit superfluous given the represent the interests of groups and people who are not necessarily in membership. They could go the full hog and rebrand themselves 'Watersports UK' and make themselves truly relevant to a wider community... although I get that might have other connotations too, worth the risk imho. |

ok so the old logo was quite cheesy in a 70s / 80s kind of way but it was distinctive and it;s not as if they have dones a IYRU > World Sailing type rebrand ( as 'UK Sailing' wouldn't represent all their activities )
