Emma Sprints
Tuesday, January 6th, 2009Having dominated their first inside competition, 32 brave novices came together on 23/11/2008 for their first regatta on the water. The first Novice Men went out in the blistering cold and made it easily through the heats to the quarter final. Then, it started to rain – heavily. Taking into account the sub zero temperatures, the organisers felt it necessary to call it off. Incidentally, this makes NM1 joint winners of the Men’s Cup! Well done!
Steph and Ollie, our Captains, decided to scratch the remaining three crews due to the serious risk of catching hypothermia.
Afterall, there is a reason for the regatta season taking place during the summer…

Drama Queens’
Thursday, November 13th, 2008Tuesday 4th November saw our latest influx of novice competing in their first race since joining ARBC – the Queens’ College Ergo Championships. The format is simple – each individual in a team of 8 races 500m. the average time of the crew is worked out and then you get a winner. Oh, there is the fact that as you are doing it, there are 15 other teams from Cambridge University colleges taking part as well in your division, there are 3 divisions per class (Novice 1, Novice 2 etc) and while all this is going on there is pounding music from the DJ, balconies full of hollering supporters and a huge screen with simulated boats on to show how everyone is doing…Into this arena we sent for Novice crews – 2 men’s, 2 women. Here’s what happened.
