SMACKDOWN IS BACK this saturday at 730 am

[Roelof Versteeg]

On behalf of Paul Gross (the keeper of the smackdown) we are

glad to invite any and all to the saturday smackdown (which next

week may be held on a sunday, but details on that later).

So, for those new to this - what is the smackdown?

It is a self managed extremely informal race. From now till

September we do side by side pieces over the course. Starting

September we row head races down to the Dartmouth dock.

This saturday we plan on doing  2x500, 2x1000.

This is subject to negotiation at the start line.

To participate: be at the starting line (basically at the south end of the

Kendal dock) at 730 am on Saturday. If there is a large turnout we will self organize

in different flights. After every piece we regroup. 

People typically row in singles,doubles and quads, but any boat

is welcome. Anyone can participate - it is a great way to get

the competitive juices flowing. Don't worry about being slow - if you are there

you will be faster than everyone who did not come!

Looking forward to type 2 fun!

Paul and Roelof
