| Should the website be rebranded? | |
Andy Pickard's long-promised BPBC website is yet to appear. Martin loved working on the website. Bufties post more, and more often, than current students. Race results from major races aren't uploaded. Technology has moved on. After a lifespan almost as long as a Chem Eng PhD, is it now time to relaunch this website as BPBC's site? | Yes | | 0% | | | No | | 67% | | | Let's make the Fairbairn Cup a wager on it | | 33% |

| London 2012 rowing, I will be watching... | |
This should help those of you undecided as to what to get tickets for. Once you have applied just fill in an option, and hopefully others from FaT/BPBC will be there and join you. The codes supplied are for the different sessions, as found on the 2012 website.

| Against which event(s) would you prefer to have the annual pub crawl clashing ? | |
There's rather a lot of other racing around the date of the boat race (26 March), and the crawl will have to clash with something else. | 19 March - WeHoRR | | 58% | | | 20 March - Hammersmith Head | | 50% | | | 26 March - Kingston Head | | 25% | | | 27 March - Henley Races | | 0% | | | 02 April - HoRR | | 0% | | | 03 April - Vets HoRR | | 25% |
