The Yorkshire Head of the River 2012 is now accepting entires for the race to be run on Saturday 3rd March. You can find more details on their website or download the race poster.

The Press have written a nice article on Tom Ransley's success in 2011 and his training up to the 2012 Olympics in London. http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/sport/9431487.York_rowing_ace_gunning_for_Oly...

The Tiger Team are on their way! You can see their progress on the Talisker Whiskey Charity page as well as all the other crews. http://www.taliskerwhiskyatlanticchallenge.com/team/tiger-team

As Harry Hill may suggest, there's only one way to find out----- FIGHT!
At the recent Yorkshire Universities Indoor Rowing Championships, crewmates Bob Jones and Phil Stubley clashed once again. On the day, Bob was awarded the gold medal and Phil the silver - calculated on handicap and % of record times.

However, on closer inspection, it turned out that the records hadn't been updated and in fact Phil was in fact the winner. A deciding arm wrestle was proposed but thought to be unwise. So they had a tug of war instead...

Congratulations to Bob and Phil for their continued success.

Thanks to all of you who donated money to the YCRC Movember group. We raised total of £980 which will go towards helping men diagnosed with prostate and testicular cancer.

Results of the Small Boats Head are now available here. We hope you all enjoyed the event despite the thick fog! Our next event is the Yorkshire Head on Saturday 3rd March 2012.

2 of our members Helena and Richard Smalman-Smith have entered the Atlantic Rowing Race starting at the Canary Islands and hopefully ending up in Barbados. The 2,549 nautical journey is to raise money for St. Mungo's and Huntington's Disease Association. More information is available on their website, http://www.AtlanticDouble.net/ and you can possibly see them set off on Sunday, 4th December 2011 here, http://www.puertosdetenerife.org/webcam/webcamGomera.html.

The draw for the Small Boats Head is now available on the event page. Crew and Safety Instructions are also available. Please make sure you have reviewed the Instructions before boating. Let's hope for a nice day!
