Cygnet Rowing Club

Boathouse Club Day 30th August 2009

And so, the 2009 Club Day is now all but a fond and, for some, a hazy memory but what a day it turned out to be. For the first time in a long time, the boathouse played host to almost 100 guests over the course of the day. Both young (over 21's) and old propped up the bar to toast the introduction of the "Peter Roche" to the Cygnet fleet and then drank the day and night (and most of the bar stock) away. We wouldn't have expected anything less and are very proud of all you all.

Highlights of the Club Day included:

Some rowing - the most competent oarsmen on the day (all now clutching shiny pewter tankards - you'd better be, I haven't put mine down yet) were David, Stu, Bex, Nick, Tom, Bizzie, Barry, Paul, Barry again, Ricky, Jo, and Charlotte. The most competent "string pullers" of the day turned out to be Gledders and Lucy.

Some eating - chicken, sausages, burgers, mushrooms, veggie burgers all cooked up by the returning Tong-meister Nick Wyatt (your warlock-like skills with the naked flame have been missed Nick - many thanks).

Some cake scoffing - the closest we came to anarchy. After careful deliberation, our gluttonous judges concluded that Bex Newton was the Bake Off winner with her......cake?.......my mind gives out as to what it was but it was great. So there.

Some drinking - where do we start? And when did it finish? 4am apparently. We'll leave the gossip to the new Blygnet bogsheet. All I can confirm is that "Jagerbombs" are the new black.

So thanks to all of you. Whether you were helping out or passing out, you made the day so special.

Stu.
