Are we nearly there yet?

72 members of CBRC rowing club took part in the Avon Gorge head at the weekend, under great conditions for rowing, although not a great deal of stream to help them along their way from, well basically the sea to the Bristol docks.

The normal chaos at the start ensued (even 1 crew turning up with 5 of one, and 3 of the other oars, and ending up racing as a 6!), but it all eventually got of to a smooth start, albeit with a few timing issues at the end of the course - I think the finish timers should invest in an eye test before next years race!

Thanks to all the people not racing, and helping out during the race, and then the racers getting stuck in too, which all made the day run well and help Brian keep what little hair he has still got.

The results can be found on the website, and I should have some crew photo's to stick up shortly...
