David Biddulph's rowing pages
www.biddulph.org.uk

Previously updated : 1 - 30 Apr 2008 : Updates to 2008 calendar, to 2008 international calendar, to my page of Olympic information, to maps of rowing locations, to list of club websites, & to info re ARA rules (including changes from 1 Apr 08).  Sorry to hear of the death of George Marshall (Ibis & Quintin). 
On the TRRC website, a report on the Dove pier accident; very interesting reading.  I would like to emphasise the last sentence of the report:  "The lessons from Dove pier in October 2006 are relevant to every rower, club or Region within the ambit of the ARA."  Oarsmen from other countries will hopefully find it equally interesting and relevant.

1 - 30 Mar 2008 : Updates to 2008 calendar (including results of W8H, Kingston Head, HoRR, & other heads, of GB trials, & of HBR, times from University Boat Race, & cancellation of Vets Head), to 2008 international calendar, to 2009 calendar, to FISA links, & to list of club websites.  Sad news of the death of Tony Owen.

See also earlier updates to these pages, listed separately.

STOP PRESS: In the event of my being unable to upload updates to the Compuserve site, updates will hopefully be available on these alternative pages on BTi, so please check there.
