Could I possibly impose upon someone to post here the what/where/when for Boats Back? I took assiduous notes at the info session the other night and of course can’t find my little notebook today… thank you so much!

I just followed a big fat racoon walking along the path from the River House as I left the Rowing meeting! It was waddling along; maybe it is a mummy!

The May OAR newsletter is available here.

Although the river level is now some 2m above the decks, it's not too early to start thinking about Boats Back! We can't confirm dates yet, but we’ll be calling on members from early May to early June to help with all the work required to get us rowing again once the water levels recede. Lots of help will be required on the weekend of Boats Back, and smaller work parties will be organized on the weekends leading up to it.

Work parties in May

• installing new rowing docks and the ramps, and repairing old docks and quad trestles 

• scrubbing sediment off the decks and getting boat racks ready
