Reading University Head

So, the forecast looks decent and, with any luck, the whole club will actually get to race this weekend.  Our four Junior Colts crews, who of course had a run out at Hampton, will the have the opportunity to see how much they have improved since that promising start and will be able to gauge how well they are closing the gap on the opposition.  For Upper Boats and Colts this will be an important opportunity to try out some possible crew combinations and get some key race experience over a good long course.  There will then be the chance to fine tune things at Kingston before our attention turns to the Tideway.
All Junior Colts crews race in the first division at 1030, when The VIII will race in IM1 and a 3rd VIII will race in IM3.
In the afternoon (at 1500) The VIII may race again in IM2, where they will be joined by a 2nd VIII.  Colts A will race in J16, and Colts B will race in Novice.  Directions and so forth are all now linked from the website if you are coming to support.

Hampton results

These are now up and linked from the website. For such an early stage these were encouraging times, especially from mixed crews. The learning curve is steep indeed at this point (see below)!

An interesting day at Hampton...

Peterborough cancelled

The Nene has iced up so there will be no racing at Peterborough tomorrow. Hampton is still on, but we have had to withdraw Colts C.
