THANK YOU
I have been asked by the Club Captain and Chairman to thank all those who attended the maintence day on Saturday for the their efforts.
It appears to have been a day of hard graft - even if a couple of the mens squad were guilty of assuming the "foreman" role!
Now keep it tidy!

The Shortest Outing in the World.... Ever?
Congratulations to Mr Stuart Castle for his valiant efforts on Sunday morning, following a night to remember - or for him - to forget.
His failure to master a "lie detector" at a little after-pub gathering on Saturday night, saw him consume a large variety of eastern european spirits.
The results were there for all to see on Sunday morning, as his crew members refused to go out for more than 20 minutes! They returned claiming breathing difficulties brought on by a cloud of fumes following them.
Another fine example of peak performance from a CBRC athelete!

Your Club Needs You...
Don't forget, tomorrow is Club Maintenance Day, so please come armed and ready to get stuck in after your outing in the morning.
Pete and Phil have a whole host of jobs that need doing, and have already allocated some of the jobs.
So no running off to Glorias!

Having your strudel and eating it.
Recent trailer park chat has highlighted a new cassanova amongst our midst ... John Wastnage was not only found chatting to the fairer sex twice (!) whilst his crew were loading the trailer/ assembling the boat, but was also in a hurry to return to his home town for some Sunday night luvvin'...
Rumour has it that John spent last night in a little "tete a tete" with a Danish catwalk model. The Lush has heard she was last seen on the catwalk at the 2005 Danish Metal Workers Convention, modelling a full welding mask!

Cor Blimey Guv!
I have had a full round up of the weekend's action from the concrete wasteland that is Docklands Regatta set in the East end of London.
In a shock to all attending, the tornado that was predicted never arrived - and all returned a finer shade of rouge, after some bright weather.
I was proud to hear that the pinnacle of Bristol rowing used every opportunity to psyche out the opposition. During the "wind" phase of the first warm up Scotty caught the largest of boat stoppers. The ensuing tsunami was followed with the words "at least I've got that out of the way"! The opposition looked on in fear....
One of our crews went on to earn themselves some metalwear with a bronze in Saturday's S2 coxless fours, whilst the other crew was too busy untangling itself from the safety launch to bother with the rostrum!

He did go to SpecSavers...
Rog, on the other hand, steered through the chicane of obstacles like Nigel Mansell...
So once clear of the tunnels, he came face to face with some canoers who were (as usual) miles off course. Cue "Crusher" for some enforcement work.
With a swift and deft application of "speed around the turn", a blade was applied to aforementioned canoeist, who was neatly flipped into the drink.
He was last seen climbing up the dredger, swearing (for some reason) in German.
You can always rely on Crusher to help out with the celebrations on VE Day!

Should've gone to SpecSavers!
Now I know he is going slightly grey, and that his 2k times aren't what they once were, but I was pretty sure Scotty's eyesight was OK.
Not so, it would seem, as he launched his scull into a 12' wide floating railway sleeper which was supporting 2 large yellow signs signifying a closed river!
All credit to the old man - he managed to keep it upright!
