Wolfson women are practicing a lot this summer, and we plan on competing in as many regattas as possible. Wed love to have any experienced coxes who are interested in coxing in a fun, competitive boat club over the summer.

An inexperienced boat (about to pick up two complete novices), were just looking to get out for a fun, relaxed row on the Isis. Even if youre able to come for only one Friday, we would really appreciate it! Please contact me if youd be willing to help out. Mon, 05 Jul 2010 10:32:39 +0100 arianne.romney@exeter Green Templeton Boat Club is in urgent need of a cox to race Summer Eights with its Womens crew. We are a new boat club which will mean that, if successful in Rowing On, our crew will be placed in the lowest division (so roughly mid-day) throughout the four days of racing. We are willing to pay generously for an experienced cox who is able to help us race. Please contact Maddy Fowler, Womens Captain of GTBC, if you are interested or have any questions!!

We hope to get a weeks worth of coached outings in between next Friday and the following Wednesday (9th-14th April). Should any OURCs cox fancy some IV+ work over the vac, theyll get their fill of camraderie and [premium!] ale for their trouble. E-mail me at edward.jacobs@balliol.ox.ac.uk Thu, 01 Apr 2010 18:56:43 +0100 edward.jacobs@balliol For all those who are still around in Oxford or near Reading, and would like to boost their coxing skills and CV, the Reading Rowing Club womens squad will be running their annual training camp from Friday 2nd - Monday 5th April, and will gladly welcome you. This would be an excellent opportunity for coxes looking to be upgraded to gain experience on a different stretch, steering a variety of crews and benefitting from high-standard coaching. If youre interested, please get in touch with me (helen.popescu@st-hughs.oxon.org), and I will be very happy to provide further details. Cheers, Helen Sun, 28 Mar 2010 18:21:32 +0100 helen.popescu@st-hughs.oxon Im really hoping there was no pun intended in the last line of Bens post.... But may I too thank St Catz for providing one at such short notice. Good luck to all crews today! Ben Sat, 06 Mar 2010 09:03:43 +0000 ben.thurston@trinity I would like to clarify that my post was meant to be a light hearted bit of fun, and apologise unreservedly for the offence caused to St. Peters College Boat Club and its officials.
