Oops - we did it again!

Malcolm caught this

watching from the
far bank.
Nice to see SUBC win WRes2 4+, with
a crew including Shona and Jenni, both rowing in next week's Women's Tideway composite crew.
Happy anniversary
This event is one year on from the first-ever race for 3 of the WRes2
winners - Kate, Olivia and Joanna all took part in this as their first
competitive outing, last year.

More 'rowing'...
Coastal rowing boat kits (Scotsman, 27 Feb)
NB - there's a list of 'rowing' news items to be found every day under
the appropriate link in the left-hand column.
26/2/10
It never rains, but.
Following this week's snow-and-rain fall, the river level has leapt up. It's just at the 'no-rowing' point today. High tide is at mid-day on Saturday, which should make outings in the morning easier than those after, but it might be a 'musical ergos' weekend!

Women's Tideway
The draw for the 2010 race has been published. Lots of Scottish crews including 2 GRC composite crews, starting 4th and 280th (you have to earn that position!).

Shame again, please!
They say the camera never lies, and there is photo-evidence of some shameful behaviour at Saturday night's Burns do. What some people will do for an extra helping.

GB trials - good news
[16/2/10 - Results now posted]
At Dorney today, on the first day of the 2-day trials format, Sam demonstrated quality and consistency in finishing 10th in the first, time-trial stage of Lightweight 1x. He then matched that performance, finishing 5th in the semi-final race. The top 3 from each semi will be racing in tomorrow's final.
Day 2 Update: Sam remained rock-solid, finishing 4th in the 'B' final, i.e 10th overall. Iain was 18th overall, Polly was 4th in the 'G' final. Just to clarify, these are the positions within the Elite category, i.e. all 3 finished significantly higher in their U-23 rankings.

Akbar's eighth outing
Another excellent day's racing from GRC. Malcolm has
recorded some of them in his equally excellent
photographs - in his Picasa album.
Unfortunately, there are no photos of our winning crews (unless
YOU have some?) but still plenty of meat for the armchair coaches
to get their teeth into.
