National Schools Regatta - Thurs 23rd May to Fri 24th May

Only W/J15 small boats and W/J14 crews will be racing as we are in the middle of the exam season.  There will be a very full entry for Monmouth Regatta over Sat 25th and Sun 26th May.  There will be a cost of £17.50 per athlete to cover the cost of Travelodge accommodation.  The evening meal on the Thursday will be eaten at the next door restaurant (see here, main dishes from £6 to £15).  Breakfast and lunch on the Friday are to be purchased from a local Morrisons supermarket.  Approx £25 should cover food whic should be brought by the athlete (it will do so for me!). Further details to follow.

J15 1x: GJ (114)
WJ15 2x: JE, GH (202)

Leave school bus bay @ 6:00am (we must leave on time, we have little time to spare for our first races)
Return Monmouth RC @ 9:30pm (this is very much a best guess and hopefully a worst/latest case scenario...I expect the racing to run very late behind schedule and we could be earlier if we don't make the later finals above)

Draw is here (it hasn't yet appeared on their website, but this has been emailed to me)

Wed 23 Jan

Training outings for the remainder of the week:
I currently expect to run training as usual for Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  The forecast I am seeing indicates no more snow after today.  There is some uncertainty over whether the melting snow may cause problems with river speed for Saturday, but forecast air temperatures indicate this isn't likely.  The water temperature remains around 6 degrees.  I will check it again on Friday.

(I know Year 11 parents' evening on Thursday will see many Year 11s miss the session that afternoon.  JC will run the session as I will be involved.  There is no need to let me know of individual cases of Year 11s missing training.)
