Cambridge Winter League III & "Deben Challenge"

Hello! My first entry on our new blog!! And I'm in the fortunate position of having the final leg of the Cambridge Winter League to report on...

Congratulations are in order for everyone who made the effort to turn out through the winter to train and race in this series. I'm delighted to announce that we even have an event winning crew - Roger & Ken were the fastest Mens VetC 2x, so well done to them!!!

See those two guys there...don't look like they're taking it very seriously do they? That must be the secret to success! (Oh, and the cigarettes help too.)

Results from the whole event can be found here:

Now that the Winter League is over and it's a few weeks until the next race, it seemed like a good opportunity to find another goal to work towards...so we're planning the Deben Challenge. The idea is to start at Felixstowe Ferry and row all the way up, past the rowing club, to the Iron Bridge...and then all the way back!! This is a fantastic chance to see the river at its best, before it gets cluttered up with big yachts and toursits, and if you do the whole thing you can become a Son or Daughter of the Deben. We might even get some special t-shirts, so put it in your diary NOW (see calendar below) and dust off your padded seats!
