| 24th Sep '03 | Update | by mcp |
| Am fixing an issue involving official crew lists... whilst I do this, aspects of the results & crews sections will most likely stop working temporarily and no one will be able to update the site with any results or crews. Apologies for any inconvenience! (1 reply...) | ||
| 23rd Sep '03 | History of First Trinity | by mcp |
| In 1908, Walter William Rouse Ball, a mathematics lecturer and fellow of Trinity College, compiled a short history of First Trinity Boat Club. Both the Trinity College Library and the University Library hold copies. I looked it up when researching the club's crest and having found it interesting thought it might be nice to have it online. And so here it is (in the Club->History section). I realise not everyone will find themselves inclined to read it, but there are at least a few comedy stories worth looking up - e.g. the 4th VIII's exploits 1850-57. The top of page contents summary is something I have added - suggestions for improvement would be welcomed, as would typing mistakes. The book's final chapter contains data and crew lists for the winners of various races; this will be appended in due course. (2 replies...) | ||
| 24th Jun '03 | New credits | by mcp |
| In preparation for handing over day to day running to Ian over the next few weeks, there is a new site credits page ;-) It's actually quite cool - found bits of the 1997 website that are still here word for word. There is also an 80 (!) long list of the members who have written race reports or submitted pictures so far... | ||
| 19th Jun '03 | 2nd May VIII Song | by mjb |
| The widely-acclaimed rip-off of Pulp's "Common People," as performed by the 2nd May VIII at the 2003 Mays' Dinner, has been transferred to a web-friendly interface and has been added to the 'songs' page in the club traditions section of the website. You can go here to view the masterpiece and download the cheesy midi backing track. | ||
| 12th Jun '03 | New Photo Gallery | by mcp |
| After a sad absence for the last year, we have a new photo gallery. :-) There is still a lot to do to bring over the archive of old pictures into it, but hopefully it will do the business for the Mays! Any problems or suggestions gratefully received, particularly since it and the members' photo upload page have been put together just since last Sat; there are, no doubt, all kinds of things which don't work! Ta! (6 replies...) | ||
| 16th Jun '03 | One minute gun | by mcp |
| Ever seen one of the starting cannons firing? If not - now's your chance. I've put up a little video clip of the one minute gun... (There is also a little link to it from within the bumps section.) I think that sometimes, particularly for the start when it's wet, he fires two or even the three at once, to allow for mis-fires. However, for the four minute and one minute guns the usual thing seems to be to use just one. On the soundtrack you can also hear the Senior Umpire, Pete Convey - taken aback by the sound of it even after all these years! ;-) | ||
| 23rd May '03 | The Weather | by mcp |
| I have done a small update of the general info page, including a brief weather forecast. It's experimental at the moment, but it would be possible to put a little weather icon next to the flag on the front page, for example, which could link straight to it if people said it might be useful.

| 9th Jun '03 | WAP results back on line | by boffin |
| I am planning to repeat the wap results service for the May Bumps - this is just a quick note to announce that the WAP site has been updated and is ready for action! The address is http://www-bc.trin.cam.ac.uk/wap/ On Nokia phones, you go to Services then Go to Address and type it in. Maybe someone could enter some instructions for other makes of phones?

| 29th May '03 | Cat and Buns etc | by mcp |
| The origins and significance of the club's two-shield emblem strike me as interesting - particularly since we use that and the Cat and Buns on their own interchangeably. When I put together the logo for this website I did a little bit of research - and have written it up for a page in the Club section. (6 replies...) | ||
| 27th Feb '03 | Machine Failure | by mcp |
| At 1:15 last night the boatclub's server suffered a motherboard failure. However, we are back up and running with a reserve machine.... Roll on day 3!!!! (Fingers crossed this one will hold out....) (2 replies...) | ||
