18-Nov-04 Inverness
Boatloading Friday at 1pm. The minibusses leave Saturday at 5am! Be there on time, if you live far out and have difficulties to get there in the morning try to stay at flats of other members for the night. The costs are £21 for one race. The weather forecast for Inverness predicts sun but cold temperatures, take warm clothing with you, especially to keep you warm in the boat. Also, the busses just have a tape deck and no CD player, so if you would like to get around 15 people into your very own special music for 3 hours, please prepare old fashioned tapes. The driver has a veto, however!

17-Nov-04
From today on Jonny will put the weekly training programme and additional information onto a password protected page. Please follow the link on the training page.
