The Fours Head of the River We took three crews down to London to race on the Tideway. It was an exciting experience as always, competing against the complete cross-section of British rowing from internationals down. It was good that the faster of our two boys' crews broke into the top 200. The other crew only eight seconds behind them. Our girls' crew also raced well and finished well in their class.

The Rutherford Head We were taken unawares by our river. It rose very suddenly overnight on the Thursday before the Rutherford Head. There was no safe way to get our boats out and our getting to the Rutherford looked problematic. However, York City Rowing Club bailed us out and were kind and trusting enough to lend us enough boats to race
York Small Boats Head Twelve fours and four scullers competed on home water on 22nd November. We had a few illnesses and injuries and some substitutions had to be made at the last minute but most of the racing went well. We had wins 66
