27th September 2017
A lovely sunny Sunday on the river for those who made it, a nice change from a grey Saturday. Good to see so many people enjoying Saturday mornings, but we need to push through to Sundays now if we want to go fast next summer.
As I'm a day late with this, availability by Tuesday night please for weekend outing plans. And remember that if you're not at the club on time, you may find that you've missed the boat. (And if you keep missing the boat, I'm going to stop picking you when there's someone else who's more likely to turn up available instead.)
Monday - Ergs 3 x 5k UT2
Tuesday - Weights
Wednesday - Erg 5 x 1km (pairs + 30s changeover) at 5k pace
Thursday - Weights
Saturday - Outings 7am, 10am
Sunday - Outings 7am, 10am

News in brief
Lots of happy S'Campers at the bungalow this weekend, despite some biblical rain and the odd thunderbolt. Congratulations to all the scullers and swimmers.
A couple of minor awards: the Adam Peaty award goes to Mark, for getting back to the bungalow before the rescue boat could get itself organised, and the Spongebob Squarepants award goes to Barry for first swimming and then getting caught out in a thunderstorm with a couple of BBLRC chaperones. Hope you've dried out now.
Lost and Found
Anyone who left kit at the bungalow; it might be back at the club in the men's changing rooms if you're lucky.

Racing
New poll here; sign up if you're interested in any of the pre-Christmas races. Not saying we're going to go to all (or any!) of them, but the captaincy needs to have an idea of how much racing the squad is interested in. The main focus is the fours heads on the weekend of 11/12 November as they're right outside our shutters.
We expect racers to be available for a couple of weekends before the races for training outings in the racing combinations, so filling in availability on Fitclub is an essential part of this winter planning.
