Despite the disappointment of Christ Church Regatta last term which was largely called off due to bad weather, the novice spirit has stood the test of the vac and we’re delighted to have so many keeping with the sport. This term’s coaches have certainly been impressed by the talent they’ve seen so far – thanks especially to excellent coaching from Christina, Kirsty and Anja last term. The fresh influx into the senior boats each January helps to keep us older girls on their toes, as (in genuine True Blue style) “nobody’s seat has a reserved sign on it”.
