Michaelmas Newsletter 2016

Overview

Mens

16 senior men started the term, but injuries and other problems caused attrition in the senior crews. M1 was held together by bringing in 3 senior rowers who were not planning on rowing in Michaelmas, and 3 seats freed up during the term in M2. The men’s side had 30 people sign up to novice, 3 novice men had the amazing opportunity to fill the empty seats in M2 and the rest formed crews 1, A and Alpha. Barring some minor damage to the brown boat the term was uneventful but successful and we will hopefully see 5 mens crews for the lent campaign.

Womens

4 senior women started the term, but the strong turnout of 40 novice women should help rebuild the womens side. 4 novice women were offered seats in W1, and the rest formed the 4 crews orange, purple, pink and green. The womens side enjoyed successful Michaelmas, performing well in competitions but occasionally limited by the availability of boats.

QErgs
