Following the Boston Marathon on 16th September, the men's development squad will be reforming for the winter head season and I would ask all interested parties to contact me by email in the next week (contact "at" the-webbs.me.uk).
Based on interest expressed so far we may be racing in any of the Novice, Novice Veteran, Senior 4 or Veteran (C?) categories and are intending to attend perhaps half a dozen local head races plus the Head of the River in March and possibly the Fours Head later this year.
Consequently we are looking for people who can commit to a reasonably regular training shedule up to Easter. Precise details of the training will be arranged once the squad is formed, but it is likely that as part of training members will be asked to attend water sessions on Saturday and Sunday morning plus one evening session in the week, which will be either a water session or a squad ergo session. There will of course be the inevitable timed ergo pieces to monitor the effectiveness of training and inform crew selection.
If there are any members who do not wish to compete or who may be unable to train regularly with the squad but nevertheless want to row occasionally, I would like to here from you to enable me to compile a list of subs who can fill in for absentees.
Finally, if there are any people out there (possibly juniors?) who think they might like to try coxing with the squad, do let me know and I will try to sort out some training/practice in a restricted boat.
