| Punting vs. Maggie by Maggie Beater - Sat 22nd May 2004, 5:52pm | |
| Thursday 17th of June marks the day when justice will be meted out to all Red Scum everywhere, by proving our superiority on yet another stretch of the Cam. Sign up on the diary page now to enter a crew in the inaugural punting race vs Maggie. They reckon they've got it sorted, so i hope to see a couple of elite squads of punters on the list, to prove FaT greatness [which shouldn't be a problem anyway, as I get to make up the rules :)] | |

| A few years back, a few of us discovered the huge speed that is attainable by using 3-4 punt poles in a punt. Takes a bit of practice though (needs to be well timed) - it did end in with one lost mobile phone as I remember it, though, as it is very unstable! Good luck! | |

| Specifically, it needs three or four punt poles, I recall the owners of the additional poles weren't best pleased to lose them, especially given the futility of trying to catch up the uber-punt using only paddles | |

| I also seem to remember a spectacular catastrophic sense of humour failure from a certain ex-captain... | |
