Following the success of the scratch regatta in August the daytime members planned to stage an internal scratch eights event with a social slant on Thursday, October 17th but the onset of autumnal weather and a fast flowing river meant the abandonment of the rowing part of the plan.
Around 25 rowers and friends did however come along to enjoy a lunchtime feast of soup, bread and apple crumble prepared by Gene and Caroline, preceded by an ergo session which included some expert guidance from Roger in the use of the newly acquired SkiErgs and BikeErgs.
Plans are being developed for further social occasions for members.
