Frozen Reservoir

captain January 15th, 2010

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!

Cancelled Outings this weekend 09/10 January 2010

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

Burton Head

christopher October 27th, 2009

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.

Worcester SBH

christopher October 10th, 2009

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.
