On Saturday 16th October 2010, PTRC will be hosting a party to celebrate the start of the new rowing season on the tideway.

This is an amalgamation of previous squad and other groups parties into one event, to which the whole PTRC membership, friends and family are invited and encouraged to come along to say goodbye to summer and embrace the chillier days and longer races…

We will also be welcoming the 32 new PTRC members who have just started onto the Men’s and Women’s beginners courses - this will be a great opportunity to introduce them to the social side of the club!

The festivities will begin a few hours after the Pairs Head (11:30am start) at around 16:00pm.
These will consist of ‘Fun Races’ outside the club, followed by drinks in the bar afterwards from 19:00pm, and then there will be music and dancing in the hall until late.

Like an experiment in poor taste, Saturday was “Minging Kit” day at Putney Town and was followed by a party to welcome new members to the club.

Two mixed eights raced over the water outside the club dressed in kit that rated about 12 on the loudness scale. A small selection of the visual onslaught is below.

Matt, who came over from Australia having been a keen surf rower in Sydney, joined Putney Town RC last August and rowed in the Men’s Head of the river race in the first VIII. He wrote about his experience of the head race and provided the photos in the album below: -

We have just had a week of awesome sunshine, the spring is here, the days are getting longer and the weather couldn’t have been better for the HORR, the biggest and last head race before the regatta season starts for the summer. It even felt like I was making progress with my tan!

I can’t tell you how much fun I had - the race was excellent, the crowds fantastic, the company brilliant and the social afterwards absolutely unreal. Joining Putney Town Rowing Club was quite clearly one of the best decisions I have made since coming to London.
