Night at the Museum
26th February 2013College crews may not row on the River after Lighting Up time, or before Lighting Down, so, like the movie “Night at the Museum”, the Boathouse takes on a new life after dark. Crossing Victoria Bridge, muffled creatures arrive and park bicycles precariously in the passageway. Through uncurtained windows, torches are seen moving around. Blood stirring cries from Womens Captain, Naomi Sharp, mix with blood curdling screams from the “music” system. Land training is in full swing.
Pembroke Regatta 2012-13
21st February 2013A good day of racing and a solid performance by all those who took part. W1 made it to the semifinals and narrowly missed out on a place in the finals. W2 however managed to steal the show and came top in their division.
