<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>BROE is now open for entries to the
Quintin Head – the first of 2012's Tideway eights heads.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>The number of crews entering has increased year
by year. For the 2011 race we were able to accept 110 (the maximum
allowed by the Port of London Authority without a river closure) but
we had to turn away another 40. For the 2012 race we are paying
to have the river closed, so we will no longer be limited by the PLA's
maximum.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2>One other change for the 2012 race is that we
have slightly extended the course. It will still start from the University
Stone at Chiswick Bridge but the finish will be at Harrod's rather than at
Hammersmith Bridge.</FONT></DIV>
