Well first head race over and the WMas C 8+ crew come out fastest. The J18 lost fin will have cost them valuable time and they will have slowed down the J16's. So we'll have to wait for London to see what happens there......

Spring is in the air and 8's on the water
How I wish I could get on the water during the daytime this week. The conditions look fabulous. Hope it's not raining by Saturday.
Training for the spring heads now - and the big questions is who will be quickest? The WJ16 8+, the WJ18 8+ or the WMasC 8+? All will be revealed come Runcorn Head and the WEHORR.

How to increase senior membership ages 20-35?
NRC has very active Junior and Veteran squads of both sexes but is struggling to attract and retain rowers in their twenties and early thirties. Where are they all?
University clubs seem to go from strength to strength but what are non-uni young people up to? And what about after uni?
Do we need to improve our facilities and offer smart gyms? Are the pressures of work too great or is everyone too busy clubbing and partying to find time for rowing?
Do we need to get paid coaches in to give structure to our squads and motivate the squads?
Meanwhile our senior women's eight at the WEHORR had an average age of nearly 43 and our senior men for HORR are 18!
Ideas on a postcard please?

Muscles aching?
Back into winter land training this week. Circuit training is back on at the Mid-Cheshire College every Tuesday and Thursday at 6:30pm. A great way to improve your fitness when it's too dark to row.
Strange goings on last week on Hallowe'en - the Junior Girls racing at the Dee Head.
