the club's flagship boat - Missing Ewe |

The race is a leisurely 1530 start unless people are overcome with the need to
have an outing beforehand! If you're suitably talented (in a boat!) - get in touch. |

Entry: Having competed for the last two years, just outside the top 10,
another Vet A entry again probably - its an excellent hangover cure! |

It'll be an earlyish start so
watch this space for details. |

| |
| Black Sheep
Entry: We usually enter at least an eight, possibly also small boats. |
|
| |
|
| Details:
The past three years we have flown out on the Friday morning and
returned on the Sunday, though we may book a Monday flight home to
give us a chance to make the most of the hospitality! Book the Friday
and Monday off work! |
|

| Henley
Women's Regatta |
|
| |
|
| Black Sheep
Entry: After our first appearance in 1999, we're hoping for another
showing in Club Eights. |
|
| |
|
| Details:
Ideally there'll be an opportunity to get an outing in on an earlier
weekend (including Peterborough). Otherwise certainly a Friday night
outing will be on the cards. |

|
| Henley
Qualifiers |
|
| |
|
| Black Sheep
Entry: Our good record in the Thames Cup will mean at least one eights entry but no entry is guaranteed so expect to have to do it the hard way! |
|
| |
|
| Details:
The usual plan is to get out for a couple of outings during the weekends
of June, usually in Cambridge and then Henley (during WHR weekend).
Though, the Thursday night has been the primary preparation for the
'B' crew over the past few years! |

|
| |
|
| Henley
Royal Regatta |
|
| |
|
| Black Sheep
Entry: Planning to enter at least one eight in the Thames Cup. Other
boats will depend on people being able to get together to train. |
|
| |
|
| Details:
Highlight of the year - Thursday and Friday nights in the Row Barge
are a must! Oh, and there's a small matter of the rowing! Ideally
leave time on the Monday and Tuesday as well as the previous weekend
to get outings in. Hopefully there'll be another Wednesday lunchtime
picnic after the great turnout of the past three years (not least due
to the generous donation of our sponsor's products)! |

|

| |
| |
|
| August
(TBC) |
| |
|
| Gloucester/Bristol/Ross
Weekend |
|
| |
|
| Black Sheep
Entry: Anything and everything! We've had Senior 2, Senior 1 and Elite
men's eights for the past few years, plus mixed eights at Ross and
hopefully we'll have a women's eight again this year. |
|
| |
|
| Details:
For maximum pot-winning potential we've been to all 3 regattas, meeting
first during the morning at Gloucester. We've been pretty successful
at Bristol but the camping (and drinking) is at Ross. There's a strong
tradition in boat races and mixed eights to maintain! |

|
| Annual
Dinner |
|
| |
|
| After the huge turnout
of the Olympic Celebration Dinner in 2001, a lull in numbers last year meant we had to resort to holding
Dinner down the local pub! Hoping to re-establish ourselves in our rightful home (the Brewery) so please get
in touch and boost the numbers. |

of the Charles, Boston |
|
| |
|
| Black Sheep
entry: After last year's 6th place in Club Eights (& the top 5 finishers in the previous year
ineligible for the event, we will have a great start position and chance for a medal. We have
a great record in the event with 1999 & 2000's venture into Championship Eights and 2002's commendable
performance in Championship Fours. |
|
| |
| Details:
Over the past
few years we've flown out on the Tuesday and back on the Monday.
Book the time off now - it's definitely worth the trip! |
