German. 7.0. Coaches A.B. Stephen, J.A. Pocock. Bumped:- Town II, Old Choristers II, Y.M.C.A I, Old Choristers I. IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING SHIPPING. As the oar is full length (12 foot) shipping can be quite expensive. We have come up with an ingenious way to cut the oar so as to make shipping cheaper, the oar can then be easily reassembled. One of the images shows different images of an oar that has been cut down. It is cut by the leather sleeve so the joint is less visible or obvious. The oar can then be bolted together to make the oar one solid piece. Please do enquire about the different shipping options.

WTT Archaeology 1978 The club was for Scout Masters, Scouts and Rovers over 16. The club was successful from the start and the first boat sat in the top three for a quarter of time it raced and the top five for half the time. Scouts I reached 3rd position by the end of their fourth years racing and was only out if the top 5 for one year in the next quarter of a century. In some years it put out four boats in the town bumps and four in the Time Race, the only two events for which we have most of the results It was Head of the River on three occasions. Scouts I had the rare distinction of starting from last boat and reaching Head of the River in the town bumps without being bumped.
