Vote of Thanks

The first and second VIIIs have had a terrific trip to SA. Highlights for me included spending a day with the Nemato rowers at Port Alfred, the trip to the Diamond Mine at Cullinan and the fantastic lake at Elgin, CT. I'm sure that the VO2 max testing was an enduring memory for the boys, as some found new levels of pain only dreamt of before!

Finally, I must thank all those that have helped us. There have been so many, but special thanks must go to: Sean Tangney at St Benedicts, Harold Hobson (St Andrews) and Jan Bloom (Nemato) at Port Alfred, Brian and Adam and all the crew at Stellenbosch uni - we look forward to hosting you at Eton for Henley. Lastly, thanks to Martin and his team at Sport Tours SA for all he has done for us. Without his help we would have been in very deep water.
