Thanks, David Wed, 08 May 2013 22:01:25 +0100 dwlocke@hotmail[dot]com Hi, Teddy Hall are looking for an extra hull for Summer Eights since we are likely to have 5 eights to boat with 3 hulls to go around. We are flexible regarding the quality of the hull and are potentially willing to rent a 1st VIII standard hull or a spare lower boat. A 3-6 year old empacher would be absolutely perfect and exactly what we are looking for but as I said we are very flexible so please send me and email on njtfulton@gmail.com (cc samuel.maywood@seh.ox.ac.uk), if you have or know of a boat going spare. We may also be looking to potentially buy an Eight at the end of the year so this term would be the perfect trial period.

Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:56:58 +0100 sabbatical@ourcs[dot]co[dot]uk Leaving aside the apparent inconsistency of one amendment saying that the starting order will be finalised at midnight after any appeals, and another which says that results of appeals may lead to the starting order being finalised after midnight, Im mostly concerned with the new bit which seems to imply that any clerical errors - which usually means that either I missed a bump or someone who gave me the list of bumps missed one - can now only be fixed before midnight and if theyre not spotted, then they cannot be fixed afterwards. Imagine the morning of race day: Current situation: but we bumped A yesterday! oh yes, so you did, we missed that one - anyway since everyone knows where they should be starting just go ahead and ignore the printed start order Proposed situation: but we bumped A yesterday! oh yes, so you did, we missed that one - unfortunately the rules now say that clerical errors can only be fixed up to midnight, so now youre stuck with the printed start order. As an aside, I would propose a rule that all subsequent rule changes must reduce the total word count of OURCs rules.
