Lent Bumps 1995
Men's 1st VIII
Wednesday
The Men's 1st VIII started the week well by catching 1st & 3rd II
by first post corner.
Thursday
In what was the crunch day for the week for this crew, overlap was had
on Caius II by the gut. Several people in the bows heard contact at
this point, but with the water rough we slipped back. Caius II had
overlap on Corpus I as well, and before we could make definite contact
once more Caius had been judged to have bumped out. We later found
out that the junior umpire admitted that he had not been looking at
Caius stern at the time, adding to the disappointment.
Friday
Knowing that we were much faster than Corpus bumping them did not come
as much surprise.
Saturday
Chasing Jesus II, who had already fallen 5 places we were determined
to finish off the week well, and hit them by the plough.
Men's 2nd VIII
Wednesday
The first day saw Kings II hit Darwin I.
Thursday
Today's victim was Corpus II, leaving the way clear for a double
overbump on Trinity Hall III - one of three that they suffered during
the week.
Friday
Kings II were unable to hit Churchill II, who rowed over as sandwich
crew in this division.
Saturday
An improvement was made on the day before, and Churchill fell. In
their second row of the day in the 3rd division the Vet School were
the target and were duly bumped to make it up 4 for the week and
blades for the crew.
Women's 1st VIII
Wednesday
The first day of the Lents saw QMABC hit Jesus II.
Thursday
Revenge belonged to Jesus II on the second day, as they bumped back.
Friday
Wolfson proved too strong, and bumped QMABC.
Saturday
The crew was unable to come back at Wolfson, and were bumped by
Emmanuel II.
Crew Lists - Lent Term 1995
Mens 1st VIII
- Bow: Paul Wood
- Paul has now developed a curious nervous twitch that means
his neck rotates thro' 180 degrees, constantly searching
for other boats. One can not help notice that this talent is
not just restricted to his position in the bow, but also in
King's bar as well...he's not just looking for boats.
- 2: Mark Galle (Ginga)
- Ever since purchasing his very own 'teach yourself sharking'
kit this term Mark has been transformed into a beast of a man.
Look after your wives and daughters if you can.
- 3: Tim Granger
- (You know that guy with the long hair). The lightest member of
out crew Tim's effort to put on weight know no bounds. That
hairstyle, cool and trendy? No, extra weight!
- 4: Mike Beecroft
- Yes, Mike is the crew's closet psycho, beneath the cool dude,
long hair, likes a smoke exterior lies a complete wacko. Upon
being warned by doctors that he would die if he ate prawns Mike
had to try it, narrowly escaping death by an adrenalin injection.
You have to question this mans sanity. (Mike thinks the prawns
have been removed from his chicken tonight. Keep an eye on his table)
- 5: Ducan Movassaghi
- Duncan is currently working hard on Ian's suggestion that if he
rowed upside down with his arms in the shoes and his feet on the blade,
his muscles would be better arranged for the rigours of rowing.
- 6: Adrian Helen
- One half of our famous singing duo, PJ is known well for his fast
cars, and even faster women; that is if they want to catch him.
(It should be pointed out that Helen is in fact a girl's name)
- 7: Rob Lachlan
- After the emotional and physical trauma of trialling last term, Rob
is busy putting on weight in time for the sowing of his crops this
easter. Being an outdoor man however has led Rob to pay scant
regard to the dangers of hurricaine conditions when coaching novices.
- Str: Ian Pratt (capt)
- Taking time off from his current movie, Bruce Willis is making a
rowing film. His stunt double, Ian, has already arranged a couple
of sneeky screen tests under the pretence of coaching videos.
- Cox: Julie Hogg
- Going into the bumps all looked well, Julie having well demonstrated
her ability in hitting things:
- Other first eight blades (overhead crabs) : 2
- Anihilated wooden blades : 2
- Wildfowl killed : 2
- Wildfowl maimed : 1
Julie later displayed her great knowledge of angles and corners by getting
7 balled at pool by GINGA
Women's 1st VIII
- Bow: Jennii Rodd
- Thge only girl in the boat who could cancel rowing to watch rubgy. As
laughing at thye disadvantaged is consideredunsporting, I will refrain
from mentioning her bike, save that it helps make early morning more
entertaining.
- 2: Liz 'crabmonster' Rowe
- Hello, Hello, Hello, What've we got here then.
- 3: Frances 'flexible' Forsyth
- Blow job instructor to the cox, blessed with ability to not turn up when
an outing is cancelled, Frances bends in unusual directions in the morning
(allegedly). Those wishing to contact Frances should find her in Market
Hostel room 30.
- 4: Liz 'Hello sweets' Pinches
- No comment
- 5: Jess 'I'm really sorry but...' Fries
- On the third day of the bumps we taught Jess how to put the boat out, since
this was the first day this term she arrived early enough
- 6: Alison 'Huge thank you from everyone!' Marczinke
- Why does one row in this boat anyway? and Leo 'I'll just get my diary out'
Sharpston. Leo didn't really row this term, but was nevertheless conspicuous
by her absence
- 7: Beate 'did we have an outing?' Marczinke
- Beate spent the term striving to get a wooden spoon beacause she feels it's
more useful than a blade. Too bad, she nearly got one.
- Str: Dan's Bird
- Grrrrrr!
- Cox: Craig Dean
- Craig is still trying to come to term with no longer being at school and
hence no longer using the work 'homework'
- Coaches:
- Roger Thorogood Esq., Jo Burch Esq., Ian Smith Esq., Mark Galle, Paul 'Shut
up I'm the coach not you' Wood
