GRC 'Silver' RegattaKaren has added a few(!) more photos. This one captured Sandy's response when asked if he could do a Racing Licence on the day as a favour. Malcolm put some photos of the regatta on GRC Members. Click on the picture of Fran to go to the Picasa album (the GRCMembers files don't seem to be directly link-able). Douglas has put some of his photos up on his own Picasa gallery . Click on the photo, or link to it from the GRC gallery. 28/3/08

Boat race coverageFor anyone interested, the boat race (the one that gives everyone the
wrong idea about rowing) will be on television this The Herald have a piece about it today. Interestingly, the 'rowing correspondent' is on an (all-too-brief) absence... so - no excuse for this, then. 18/3/08

Women's Tideway......did go ahead, surprisingly! The composite crew with GRC's Lindsay Dick and Fran Jacob were 17th overall and 9th in their S1 division - well done! Only 35 seconds behind the overall winners and 17th out of 236 crews finishing the race. A lady called Rachel has posted these photos. There may be more on the WEHoRR site.
