<strong>Subject:</strong> Champs Head 14 May - event already 1/3 full</div>
<blockquote style="border-left-color: rgb(26, 188, 156); margin: 5px; padding-left: 10px; border-left-width: thin; border-left-style: solid;"><strong>Race 1/3 full</strong>I realise that the college boat crews have got lots going on but I wanted to get in touch because the Champs Eights Head on 14 May is already one third full.
