Thanks Kirsty

I’ve been asked by the Men’s 2nd VIII to pass on the following message to Kirsty after she helped them out by coxing last night.

“Thanks for coxing us Kirsty, it really was a pleasure to have you sat in the stern of our boat and I’m sure you won’t be thirsty next time we’re in the pub. If you find yourself at a loose end over the next few months (especially on the 25th March) then we’d love to have you steer our boat again.”

It seems that bribery and flattery are the only way to get coxswains these days, which could be quite lucrative for the little people at the club!

Having heard that Kirsty was to be coxing, I took up residence in the beer garden of the Ostrich in the hope that I’d hear a rendition of Fairy Tale of New York being broadcast over the cox box. Unfortunately she wasn’t in a singing mood, which is a shame because there are a few Shane McGowan look-alikes in the men’s squad who could have sung it with her!
