Malcolm, abetted by Peter D, took lots of pictures like the one below, and says:

The ladies of Brownlee outpatients at Gartnavel Hospital do an NHS challenge every year. This year they elected to do rowing. Over the past couple of weeks they went out in the tub doubles and last week in an 8 for a short outing prior to their row.

A cake in club colours. Is it home baking - or is it art?

Great rowing weather - bright and sunny and calm - helped make it an enjoyable day for all. Also contributing to the general bonhomie was the extensive and varied selection of cakes on offer in the tearoom.
Malcolm has an extensive album of pictures from both divisions.
