| How to tan? | |
The second most important thing about Mays rowing (after bumps)... bronzing. | Stay completely covered at all times to avoid any chance of a tan (see A. Lea-Cox) | | 15% | | | Wear an all-in-one and get strap marks (see people too busy rowing to care about looks) | | 48% | | | Wear only one strap and then switch at the lock to avoid too much of a strap mark whilst still being able to row well (see T. Coker) | | 6% | | | Push both straps down to avoid strap marks and (if female) hope it holds and (if male) hope it doesn't (see Women's hour) | | 12% | | | Go topless and just take the fines for indecent exposure on the chin (see the bank balance decrease) | | 18% |

| Blue and gold bikinis? | |
It has been suggested that the new women's Mays kit should be blue and gold bikinis. Less (/fewer?) tan lines, and proof, if needed, that we are (all) female. Aye or Nay? | Yes please! | | 63% | | | No thanks! | | 37% |

| Website | |
It was suggested on the pub crawl that the site's login page (i.e. the navy blue background with the two large crests) be replaced with an animated lion who walks in from one side before stopping in the right pose. Thoughts? | Yes please | | 42% | | | No thanks | | 58% |
