| Website groups overload by Martin - Thu 12th May 2005, 10:11am | |
| There is a need to purge lots of old and unused groups from the website. I've put together a list of groups I think we should ditch, can everyone let me know which of the following should be kept. Some older members may object to some of these, but I reckon that many are used so infrequently now that it would be much better, for current members, to kind of start afresh... Rowing groups 1st men's lent viii 1st men's novice viii 2004 2nd men's iv for city sprints 2nd men's lent viii 2nd men's novice viii 3rd men's lent viii 3rd men's novice viii 4th men's lent viii 4th men's novice viii 4th women's lent viii 5th men's lent viii 5th men's novice viii 6th men's lent viii squad grad summer rowing ladies squad (out of date) lower boats - cardinals men's lower boats (lent 2005) novice coxes novice men summer squad 2004 women's 1st may viii (out of date) women's 2nd may viii 2003 women's 2nd may viii 2004 women's first boat squad 2004 women's lent squad 2005 women's mays training camp 2005 women's mich squad 2004 Public groups 1st & 3rd croquet 1st & 3rd trinity cc 1st & 3rd trinity golf club boathouse games food football hayfever sufferers michaelmas coxes new town cinemas non-abelian SU orienteering scum haters summer fun summer rowing tetris ladder the posse tourney unsubscription error comments Private groups 2nd may viii song cucbc senior umpires ed's unsavoury mailing list gossip queens jpd test group kss discussion (only has 1 member) law lords lower boats files (what is this used for?) new committee novice coaches temporary group new test group the fab four the safe list wet people womens elite formal hall squad (out of date?)

| Book by AHLF - Sun 8th May 2005, 2:09pm | |
| I'm sure I have seen a book at some point which I thought was by Denys Lawrence which includes all sorts of useful information about Boat Clubs including a chapter on captaincy. Does anyone else have any recollection of such a book, and if so, do you have any information about it? (3 replies...) | |

| BUSA by Give us some competition!-jo - Sat 7th May 2005, 11:27am | |
| Hi everyone, was at BUSA last week competing in Novice (ARA novice) events and it struck me that your girls were way better than most of the crews we came up against, especially in the iv+ event. I was suprised that only a few crews from cambridge bothered entering (magdalene and CUW) especially since Durham entered a huuuuge amount of boats. How come so few college crews enter? Discuss.

| Where have all the photos gone? by Amelia - Wed 27th Apr 2005, 9:25pm | |
| Lots of photos of happy smiling post-victory people have been taken this year. Not all of them have made it onto the message boards. Those of us without digital cameras of our own, and who have yet to pay Honey for JET prints, are starved of visual evidence of FaT dominance. So all of you people out there with relevant boatie photos taking up space on your data sticks, please post them!! | |

| Club money by just out of interest - Tue 12th Apr 2005, 11:23pm | |
| Is it the whole comittee who decide what the moeny for the year's going to be spent on, or the overall captain/both captains? Only because it occurs to me we are quite in need of some new boathouse equipment, ergs [of which 3 of which have some kind of fault/weirdness, four of which are pretty unusable] & sliders? And how about another [even secdon hand] scull [maybe one designed for slightly lighter people :)?] or just magpie being fixed. Oh, and some clams. They're approximately £2 each.. :) And, further to a conversation I was having the other day, what about some women's croker blades? Also, wouldn't it be worth saving our money and investing in new men's/women's 8s [especially with the demise of bp3] rather than novice shells? Hope this doesn't start too much of a fight, it is largely out of curiosity, just wondering what the thinking is behind our latest boat buying spree? (28 replies...) | |

| Novice Fairbairns Videos by Bryn - Thu 31st Mar 2005, 12:51pm | |
| I know it's taken a while, but I've finally found out how to get some srcf user space and how to use it. Way back at the time of Novice Fairbairns I took some videos of all the crews and I've now added links to them on the results page. I hope all these links work! If you want to see what your rowing was like a term ago you can have a look. I have to say that the videos aren't very good and that my newfound computer expertise (yes, that's right) doesn't extend to knowing a way of compressing them, so they're all around 10MB. And just so that I can get extra practice with links, they're all here as well: 1st novice men's VIII 2nd novice men's VIII 3rd novice men's VIII 4th novice men's VIII 1st novice women's VIII 2nd novice women's VIII 3rd novice women's VIII It's probably not worth it unless you have a fast connection (which I don't, so I haven't checked if any of this works...).

| Boat Race times by Bryn - Mon 28th Mar 2005, 1:47pm | |
| In the build-up to the race on ITV they said that the Boat Race was timed to take place when the stream was at its quickest. But the BBC website says that Goldie beat OUBC by 3s. So at least one of these has messed up: (i) ITV (for not knowing about tides) (ii) the BBC (for not being able to time a boat race) (iii) Robin Williams (for not being able to pick the fastest crew) (iv) me (for missing something obvious) Can someone in the know help me out?

| 3rd Annual Pre-Boat Race Pub Crawl by mjb - Sat 26th Mar 2005, 10:31am | |
| Sunday service on the trains, meant I arrived at Putney half an hour late, only to find out that the Duke's Head didn't open until 12 anyway. The intrepid group of pub crawlers (Ingers, Graham, Bron, Sarah, me) contented themselves with watching some random boats do practice starts off stakeboats on the river next to us until the pub finally decided to open. Lunch was taken at the Crabtree where Mr. Walker arrived for his habitual late start, followed by Anna and Tom. A push along the Hammersmith bend saw us acquire various extra hangers-on, including Amelia, Catherine, Becca, Henners and Guy and we made it to Cygnet BC for the Blackburn Bonus Pint around 1730 before completing the course a little after 8pm. Back to Blackburn's for pizzas where Graham, perhaps realising he'd finished the pub crawl, promptly fell asleep. Hopefully a fun time was had by all. | |
