Late Michaelmas Racing

This Sunday will see Upper Boats and Colts racing at Wallingford Head.  Most Upper Boats will race in both divisions, and crews, as they currently stand, are given below (hopefully the formatting will work).  With the inevitable illnesses and injuries that plague this corner of the year, they may yet change a little.  Colts will race in three J16 8's in the afternoon.  The morning division starts at 1030, and the afternoon at 1330.  Links to the draw and directions are up on the website. 

Next Saturday, 10 pairs from Colts and all those Junior Colts rowing regularly this half will race at Hampton.

A full weekend's racing

This Saturday will see a top coxed four from Upper Boats looking to defend our Junior Coxed Fours pennant in the Fours' Head on the Tideway.  They will be boating from St Paul's School.  The race starts at 1130, but they are no. 281 so will probably go past SPS at nearer 1230.

Meanwhile, the rest of Upper Boats, all of Colts, and all those Junior Colts sculling regularly will travel to Pangbourne.  Upper Boats and Colts will mostly race in coxed fours and quads in the morning division which starts at 1030.  Junior Colts will race singles in the morning and then doubles in the afternoon division which starts at 1330, where they will be joined by a few UB scullers.  Given the forecast, wellies (and possibly hip flask) look like the order of the day.  A copy of the draw and directions/ map links are all up on the website.  If you're new to all this and want to know how to spot the Eton boat trailers, we have a white truck and a black LR Discovery which both sport the Eton Vikings' flag.  There is a photo of the latter in an old post from back in January.
