Sounds exactly like my school sports day only with more scary people and boats.

Elles, it sounds brilliant for you, and exactly why I couldn't go. :redface: How much do you have to pay to get into the posh dress, and what exactly are these scary dress rules?

I don't know what I'm doing for most of the summer - a couple of camps with Rangers, friend's b'day party soon but apart from that...no idea. I need a job :frown:


rules for that specific enclosure were women could not wear trousers & skirts/dresses had to be below the knee & no splits. which ruled out my repetoire of on-the-knee pretty sundresses!

but TBH, we spent more time on a picnic table in a random field with a big group of people, so.. :tongue: no idea what badges would sell for (the other half acquired some guest ones through some rowing contact..smoozing can get you everywhere it seems, lol) but my distinctly non-rah family were perhaps more excited by the idea than me..!

I have a job lined..full time 2 months.. :eek: it does make me appreciate student-ness all the more though!

our random boat were fastest non-qualifiers..!

it was good fun (although that was probably mostly my company). with my 2 days notice i had a slight dress dilema, but in the end went for a fabulous floral slightly retro number (that cost me nothing & was actually genuinely about 30 years old - oh my mother had good taste! :biggrin: ). but i did conclude that money can't really buy you class, so.. lol.

Baz - is there an age restriction? ahem..i'm 20, yes..

anyway, i was just there in a being taken out for the day & spoiled capacity (plus being introduced to a few school-friend-rahs & inspiring more "lucky boy" comments.. :wink: ).

I do incidentally have a very small hamper - perfect size for champagne bottle & two flutes (has seen lots of action since trinity started!) :biggrin:

Helenia..what are you doing with yourself over the summer..? & congrats on the exam results!
I saw a few Oriel boaties around and they're going to make the September training camp hell for boaties from your college; I feel sorry for Mr. Morris...

And you meet his school friend... one of them is bad enough, a how group would be hellish.

Well that would rule out most of my wardrobe too :eek:

Your bf sounds like he has amazing connections *not jealous in any way :tongue:*

Oooh, what is your job going to be? I needs one :frown:

i think it was a general boatclub thing.. despite credentials, he's not the smoozing vacuous rah type :wink: but pff, personality and other such triffles matter not when you're that hot anyway.. :tongue:

my job is in the clinical education dept. of a local hospital..no idea what it involves yet but reasonable pay & lots of hours. & hopefully some human contact! i spent my entire last summer re-doing an achive system with 1000s of files & a radio for company..horrific!

(am i responsible for digressing this thread..sorry!)
