Pairs Head & Cambridge Small Boats Head, 6 October 2007

Last weekend was another busy one for members of the club...

Clio & Chris J. took part in the Pairs Head on the Thames. Despite a nasty headwind, they put in a great effort and completed the course in 15mins, 31secs.

Kate, Em, John & Terry also went to Cambridge for the small boats head...

TD has kindly sent in this report on the race:

"Cambridge Small Boats was a triumph for Churcher Vet E who settled into a good style and rhythm after the bends, then went on to win.

The Davey/ Churcher Vet F in the old ‘HighTec’ double scull Reg (bought from Rob Roy many years ago for £600) went very well despite the antique boat and the crew’s combined age of 122 years. They failed to win a prize as there were no other competitors in the category; I guess the others had heard we were racing!

The junior double of Em and Kate were very stylish down to the start but lost a lot of time in the race through an equipment fault and a brush with the bank side. Even then, they were not the slowest boat. So, well done Em & Kate it's looking good for next time!"
