by Ian on May.06, 2010, under Men, News, Squads, Women

The Putney Town men and women’s squads this year visited beautiful Brive la Gaillard in Bordeaux, France for its annual training camp in perfect rowing conditions. The venue and training facilities proved a success. The camp was conditioning both squads for the competitive season with races in regattas such as Wallingford, Metropolitan, Marlow and Reading. The men’s squad is looking to qualify again this year for the Thames Cup 8 at Royal Henley and the women focus on success at Henley Women’s Regatta and the National Championships.

Winter Training Camp 2009

by Ian on Jan.19, 2010, under News, Squads, Women

In late December, Putney Town spent a weekend training on the river Avon in Bath as guests of University of Bristol Boat Club. The cold weather didn’t dampen the spirits of the training group and lots of good work was done on the fantastic water, culminating in a piece with UBBC.

Pairs Head 2009 - Results

Pairs Head 2009 - Ants and Simo

Pairs Head 2009 - Ants and Simo

Putney Town had a good turnout for the race that is for many the first significant race of the Head season.

The weather before the race had looked like truly epic head weather, with the wind whipping up the water and some predicting some involuntary swimming sessions. However, the tide turned and things calmed down a lot much to the relief of all the participants.

The club was well represented and had some good results:-

Category Pair Finish Position
IM2.2- Mcloughlin/Dwyer 16th of 30
IM2.2- Bartoldus/Halliday 19th
IM2.2- Walkley/Lovejoy 23rd
Mx.VetB/C 2x Pictor/Holmes-Siedle 7th
Vet B/C 2x Marengo/De Maria 8th
Vet D/E 2- Martensson/Green 4th
VetB.2- Toussaint/Lloyd-Davis 5th
VetF.2x Adams/Cowell 9th
W.IM1.2- Tyldesley/Wells 6th
W.IM2.2- Smith/Bartlett 5th
W.IM3.2x Mcloughlin/Fairley 6th of 33
W.IM3.2x Charles/Nilsson 9th

Wallingford Long Distance Sculls

by Ian on Oct.17, 2009, under News, Results, Scullers

Clearly showing his annoyance at being overtaken by lots of schoolboys, former club Captain Anthony Cakey provided the Town’s first result of the season, and would have won Vet B if only he had entered the right category.

Well done Cakey!

Minging kit day

by Ian on Sep.29, 2009, under Events, Men, News, Women dev squad

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.

by Ian on Sep.05, 2009, under Coxing, Men, News

Putney Town Men's Squad on Training Camp in Banyoles

Putney Town Men's Squad on Training Camp in Banyoles

The men’s squad at Putney Town is also kicking off the new season with an open squad meeting to be held on Wednesday 9th September in the club bar at 20:30. Please contact Mens Captain Peter Rossi menscaptain@putneytownrc.co.uk 07983 325 992 or just turn up on the night.

In 2008/09 the Senior Men’s rowing squad qualified a Thames Cup 8 at Henley for the third year running, and were competitive at IM1/2, including wins at Marlow, Kingston and Oxford City regattas. 13 of the last two Henley crews are back for 2009/10 and we have over a dozen boats suitable for the squad. Our goals for 2009/10 are for the 1st 8 to finish top 100 at HORR and to qualify two boats for Henley Royal.

Coaching for the Men’s squad is provided by James Davey and Andy Holmes MBE. The squad attended an overseas training camp in Banyoles and has access to excellent equipment, with recently purchased eights and fours.

In addition, we are always keen to recruit coxes and will provide full training for steering on the Tideway and club membership is also free for coxes.

More information about the mens squad, club facilities and location is available on this website.

Podium finish at Nat Champs

Leightweight Women's Coxless Four bring home some medals

Women's Lightweight Coxless Four bring home some medals

Putney Town women’s squad have brought some impressively shiny National Championships medals back to Mortlake after clinching bronze in the lightweight coxless four.

The crew started as a bit fun on training camp in Hazewinkle, Belgium, when coaches Tom Evens and Paul Keane decided to race the smaller four girls from the women’s first VIII (the skinnies) against the slightly bigger crew members (the heavies).

In a triumph against the odds, the skinnies took a win after finding an early rhythm. Thus the lightweight coxless four was born, both stroked and steered by Emma Wells, backed up by Hazel Tyldesley, Laragh Walton and Suzie Fairley.
