30 Nov - Weekend Success
Congratualtions to the Ladies IM3 4+ (Sally, Megan, Ella and Ericha coxed by Annabell)for their win at Loughborough head at the weekend - the invention of a second finish 1km before the real one really helped push them on to victory :) I promise Annabell one day i will stop going on about it! The previous week they managed a second place at Star head.
Well done to Jo Canton on her VetC/E 2 x success with help from Lincoln rowing club.
Also congratuations to Ericha on her first coxing pot with the mens Vet C crew. The mens IM2 4+ also tasted success this weekend so a good time was had by both squads.
Ladies day on the river which was scheduled for Saturday 12th December is now cancelled due it being on the same day as Walton small boats head which lots of people are attending. I will reschedule for the new year as soon as possible.
A quick reminder that the club christmas party is fancy dress (i will be a christmas tree) this year and will be held on the 19th December so get your baubles out and i hope to see you there.
