2008 Rowing Calendar

Page created 21 Dec 05, last modified 29 Dec 08.
If, for the event you are looking at, there are no links here to the 2008 information, it may perhaps be worth trying last year's link (if there is one) from the 2007 calendar, or (of course) keep an eye on Rachel Quarrell's New Information page.  See also the ARA calendar & SARA calendar
   [Some dates in my calendar may possibly be out of date, as they were originally based on the latest 2008/9 dates from ARA in Sept 07, & they may have changed since then.]
