Next thing to get opened are the Hinkseys by Longbridges is necessary. So predicted to stay green tomorrow. However, Im in London tomorrow watching the boat race so please take care - if it rains heavily and river is speeding past itll be because of unpredicted over-night rainfall. Ill do my best to update it but please use common sense if youre planning an outing.

Come on Oxford. FTT Fri, 28 Mar 2008 10:12:24 +0000 The Oxford Academicals are seeking experienced coxes and novice coxes for their rapidly expanding mens and womens squads. Novice coxes will be given full training with a coach and an experienced crew, at times when the river is less crowded. They will have the opportunity to train in a variety of different boats, including eights and fours, and compete in summer regattas. Experienced coxes will be given the opportunity to take regular trips to Abingdon, and practice the racing line on the Isis every weekend. Both mens and womens squads race through the year, in the summer regatta season and in the major Head races during winter. The womens squad in particular are looking for an experienced cox who would like to compete at Womens Henley, and can devote themselves to at least two training sessions a week, on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. Most training sessions take place on weekend mornings and Wednesday evenings, and a number of our coxes cox both for Academicals and their colleges, as we often train at times when college are not allowed on the water, and all through the holiday periods. If youre interested in finding out more about coxing for the Academicals, please contact Steve. stephen.woodhouse@bioch.ox.ac.uk Thu, 27 Mar 2008 09:18:17 +0000 Abingdon Head is on Sunday 20th April this year (end of 0th week). The course is 2000 meters long (just a bit longer than the bumps course), and this year we will have four divisions offering all standard categories.The head has always been well attended by college crews; so much so that this year we have added a specific "college eights" category just for you to settle any grudges. You are of course more than welcome to enter any of standard ARA categories also offered. Racing this year will be over four divisions, and you can enter as many as you like.2000 meters ... end of 0th week ... what better way to round off your training camp?More information from the Abingdon RC website (www.abingdonrc.org.uk), or via the direct link;http://www.abingdonrc.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=173&Itemid=1 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 18:00:21 +0000 This was not in the Henley Boat Races Post and should have been.
