Why is boat trailing such an issue?

Just heard from Simms that our new eight is ready to collect next week. Can't they send it in the post? I wish.

Why is trailing boats to events always such an issue for clubs?

Wouldn't it be easier if we all borrowed each other's when we race at regattas?

Or maybe not given how long some people spend getting their boats 'just right'. And they would be bound to have the wrong size shoes!

Summertime and the rowing is easy....

We had Junior crews competing today at Ironbridge Sprint Regatta - 13 crews in all so expect a few wins.

Meanwhile, back at the club the Senior and Vet squads had a lovely quiet row.

Rumour has it that the No5 seat in the women's eight has 'special properties' after two of the recent occupants announce they are pregnant!! You have been warned!
