People

Alistair was introduced to rowing in the late 70s at City of Glasgow ARC. Whilst he thoroughly enjoyed the sport, his competitive success was limited. As Alistair says, “I didn’t lose every race I took part in”.

He became involved in the organisation side of the sport and has been in charge of medal presentations at Scottish Champs since 1981. He has been on the SR Domestic regatta organising team since 1984 and has involved in the running of all of the major international regattas at Strathclyde Park since the early 90s.

Alistair is a member of Strathclyde Park Rowing Club where he is currently President.

Finance Director
Neil McIver

Neil first started rowing in 1988 at Maidenhead Rowing Club, Berkshire, where he was part of an ‘enthusiastic’ four for a number of years. Family commitments then took precedence but he maintained a strong interest in the sport.

With a career in Not-for Profit/Charity Finance, it seemed a natural combination to link both interests when the opportunity as Finance Director arose.

Neil claims to be “very much a rowing spectator now”!!
