Unfortunately the res is still frozen, so once again there will be no sessions for the following groups;
Juniors 10.30am Saturday
Beginners 10.30am Sunday
Hopefully the big thaw can now take place and rowing will commence next weekend – fingers crossed!
captain January 8th, 2010
The reservoir is frozen, conditions down at the club are very dangerous therefore I am cancelling the Saturday 10.30 Junior Session and the Sunday 10.30 Beginners Session.
Liv’s junior session is still on, but everyone please take care
captain December 21st, 2009
There will be NO club sessions on 26th/27th December or 2nd/3rd January 2010. Normal sessions resume for junior recreational rowers on Saturday 9th January at 10.30am and beginners on Sunday 10th January at 10.30am.
New Years Resolution – be prompt to sessions!
Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, and here’s to a successful and exciting 2010!

Sunday saw two crews compete at Burton Head thanks to the generosity of Trent RC in letting us borrow a nice new WinTech four because of towing problems.
The W.IM2.4+ of Emma Hughes, Sarah Gregory, Ali Stubbings, Anita Jeff and Christopher Anton (c) won by quite a margin, but unfortunately the W.IM3.4+ of Emily O’Keefe, Amy Chambers, Gemma Webb, Ashlei Brooks and Christopher Anton (c) narrowly missed out by 2 secs.

A win for Andy Thorne and Richard Stratton at Worcester SBH in IM2.2x. A few hours later they did it again in IM1.2x and narrowly failed to win again.
