Temporary Isis Racking Problem

| Hi, I am the men's captain at Wadham and we have encountered a small issue for IWL this weekend in that our boat house bay door has stopped functioning i.e. it will not open or close. This presents a massive problem in that I have nowhere to put the two VIIIs I was bringing down from Godstow for IWL this weekend. Basically, is there anyone who has space (either on a rack in their boathouse or on the floor in slings) in their boathouse where we could store one of our VIIIs - looking to move down on Saturday/whenever is convenient and move out on Monday morning/whenever is convenient. Or does anyone have any better suggestions? I am very reluctant just to leave our boats on slings outside in the meadows. Any help/advice would be very gratefully received and I would do my utmost to come up with some sort of appropriate thanks for anyone who could help - cake/crew dates/marshalling/bank riding/reciprocal favours etc etc - as eternal gratitude, although edifying, probably doesn't quite do it. Thanks! Paul | |

| Just to say that, miraculously, the company responsible has managed to procure the required part much sooner than they anticipated and have been down to fix the shutter today, solving my problem. Nevertheless, I would just like to say a public thankyou to Univ, Pembroke, Ben Thurston and Corc who all offered to help in some way shape or form and for which I am very, very grateful. I'd also like to say thankyou to St. Hugh's and St. Anne's for having put up with our VIII (that was on the water at the time of the malfunction) being on the floor of their boat bay for the last few days. Thankyou! And good luck to all on Sunday! | |
