River conditions
08-Feb-10: The EA has our reach on Yellow Boards with stream decreasing but the outlook is "The current riverflow is abating and YELLOW boards are displayed at most locks.  RED boards are still displayed on various locks above Henley, however, below Henley down to Teddington Lock, almost all locks are displaying YELLOW boards.  The forecast is that riverflows will continue to slow over the next few days."

Scullers Head
30-Nov-09: Despite the recent uncertainties about weather, the Scullers Head seemed little in doubt and went ahead as planned. 5 of our brave men headed out there. Andy, Nick, Ben and Jez all racing the course for the first time in a single. Chris in his second Scullers Head was first Eton man home and finished in a very good time. Full results are available on the Scullers Head website. Placings within categories reflect the fact that this race attracts some of the best scullers from around the country and is also well attended by tideway regulars who are more used to the stretch of river. With that in mind, our single scullers can be very happy to have completed the race and shown themselves competitive within their categories.
