Women's 2nd Division University Fours - WIN!!
6th November 2009Just a few lines to congratulate Flo’s Four on their win this afternoon at Uni IVs. Obviously we’re proud of all our crews, but I wanted to mention this race in particular because it was such a good example of how not to panic! Great for everyone to witness but should be particularly inspiring for all our novices.

Alumni Regatta (27th September)
19th October 2009
The hard at Christ's College Boat House resembled the flight deck of an aircraft carrier in wartime conditions. In the warm autumn sunshine, doubles were being dismantled and re-assembled with scull outriggers to suit visiting alumni's preferences. Smoke from the barbecue drifted across the Tarmac. A machine-gun rat-tat-tat noise drifted across the placid river, from a houseboat undergoing renovation. The plastic tub was having new foot straps fitted.
