[CUCBC Coxes] Railway bridge - netting issue

2016-01-18 Thread Robert Nimmo
Please be aware that the net is now at head height slightly to towpath side of the middle of the river under the railway bridge. It's not terribly easy to spot in the dark, and is still unclear now it's getting lighter. __ CUCBC Coxes Mailing List coxes@lists.cucbc.org Unsubscribe: Send

Dear Captains and Coxes, (Again, feel free to ignore if you're not going to WEHoRR/ManHoRR). As a number of you have (very politely) pointed out, I'm a feckless incompetent who failed to mention a 'where'. The talk will take place tomorrow at 6pm in the Queens Building Lecture Theatre in

Dear coxes, There were a number of near misses between college and town crews/singles this morning. In each case, crews had pulled out to overtake or gone wide round blind turns, presumably on the assumption that since it was only just past lighting down, there couldn't possibly be anything

Dear Captains and Coxes, Many of you will have noticed that there are now a family of cygnets on the river (their range seems centred on the gut, but they've been as far as Baitsbite and the Long Reach). This seems a good time to remind coxes and bank parties of the guidelines agreed between the
