Dear Cygnets,
I hope everyone is doing well and safe through this third week of lockdown. I think we were lucky in the tier draw, Tier 2, so hopefully we are back on the water next week.
Last weekend we had a Virtual 4s head run (teams of four, running the course distance (6.8K). The Pickford Crew (Andy, Martin, Pete, Rupert) raced in at 33:54.5 while the Jackson crew (Beth, Mustafa, Cris, Simon) scored 35:17. Thank you to all involved and well done to all for a great effort and taking part. It was great fun 😉. Talking about fun, last Friday also there was a BBL / CYG Quiz Night- I heard it was great with challenging questions, thank you Rupert and Samantha for organizing.
Training this week:
As per the email before, Charlie has already updated the circuits and mobility on the google sheets. Please feel free to send photographic evidence 😉 Also 1:1 sessions with Charlie on Saturday (£35 per session) - Please book your slot it in fitclub - (if you have problems let me know)
Sessions are 40 min - Ideally we are looking for a min of 4 people across the below time slots to make it worth it.
Times Slots:
- 9:30 -10-30
- 10:30 -11:30
- 11:30-12:30
- 13:00-14:00
- 14:00-15:00
And I think this is everything for the moment
Keep safe and positive :)

Dear Cygnets,
I hope everyone is doing well.
Good sessions these last weeks in the hope to race Fours Head and Vet Fours Head. Unfortunately, as we will be in lockdown for four weeks (or more), no racing. Well done and Thank you to everyone who has been training/coaching on the water, on the ergs and doing the strength & conditions sessions, good work. We will update the land training to the new situation to be ready for when we can go back on the water, if you are interested in borrowing an erg or any dumbbells please let me know, more details re. collection will follow.
Whilst we are still waiting for the official guidance from BR, and more details from the government, as per their updates so far the boathouse and shed will likely be closed entirely during this time. This includes the use of private singles regardless where they are stored unless they are removed and boated completely offsite.
I understand this is disappointing and very frustrating after all the progress that has been made in the last months, fingers crossed we can be on the water before Christmas!
Kind Regards
Cris
