We're hoping for 1-3outings a week with a mostly novice but keen crew. No regular cox as yet, though we have a couple who can sub in occasionally. No experience is necessary, we're happy to train someone and you don't have to be from Darwin.

When there is a stationary queue of boats in the morning waiting to get back to the boat houses, please do not attempt to jump the queue. Chances are the queue is there because there is nowhere for the boats to go, so jumping the queue isn't really going to help and we all have lectures/labs/etc. to get back to. If too many people try this and potentially meet crews coming the other way, it could lead to a nasty accident. Honourable mentions this week go to First and Third, Magdalene, Darwin, Wolfson and Trinity Hall. Also, you should not be overtaking on corners at any time (including the slight corner under the Railway Bridge) as you cannot see what is coming the other way. If such dangerous behaviour continues, fines will be imposed on the offending crews. In short, don't do it.
