| Could Crews please stop coaching in the spinning area!?! The ones who are coaching there are wasting the times of others who are waiting in long queues!!!! | |

| Some other general points that will make things run a bit smoother in the mornings: * When spinning at the head, coxes need to use more bow side so that they finish the spin with the boat on the towpath side of the river, leaving space for the next crew to tap up into the gap. Nearly every crew I've seen in the past two weeks has spun on the spot on the meadows side, which leaves you pointing directly at the waiting crew behind and holding everyone up. * When spinning or queueing at Longbridges, be careful not to drift way out and block traffic going in and out of the gut. Crews that have spun should be aware of boats paddling through and not pull out in front of them. * A reminder that crews should take reasonable lengths not to hold up others in the gut. If your novice crew is so slow rowing all 8 that three crews have to easy behind you then maybe it would be better for everyone if you kept rowing on the top stretch in sixes for a bit longer. | |
