He had considerable experience in adventurous water activities as well a penchant for finding and getting grants and funding for costly boating equipment.&nbsp; Robin was a invaluable right hand man to both me and Vic as managers of the boating centre. His help and&nbsp; advice was invaluable and I will be forever grateful. Robin was one of our mainstay instructors, both taking young people out on Jubilant and in&nbsp; Skerrys, He also taught and assessed adults for water activity permits, some of my fondest memories are rowing with Robin in the Great River Race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first became a Group Scout Leader in Twickenham, Robin was there as District Commissioner to interview , then support me for over ten years , even after he retired as DC when Richmond and Twickenham Districts amalgamated.&nbsp; Robin was there again to help me when I took over the 14th Richmond &#8220;Viking&#8221; Scout Boating Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robin was my friend and my mentor and I will miss him terribly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My thoughts and love are with Carol and family at this very sad time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.14thrichmondsbc.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG-20190620-WA0003-768x1024.jpg);background-position:55% 16%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.14thrichmondsbc.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG-20190620-WA0003-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Robin Corti in a Skerry\" class=\"wp-image-705 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.14thrichmondsbc.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG-20190620-WA0003-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.14thrichmondsbc.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG-20190620-WA0003-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.14thrichmondsbc.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG-20190620-WA0003-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.14thrichmondsbc.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG-20190620-WA0003.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Trevor Hall<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Centre Manager 14h Richmond Scout Boating Centre<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is with a heavy heart, that my first post this year is to share the sad news that Robin Corti passed away peacefully in his sleep on Tuesday 5th March .
