2009 Rowing Calendar

Page created 26 Sep 06, last modified 13 Jan 10.
 [Please note that from the end of June 2009, the Compuserve version of this website is no longer available, so please ensure that you update any links or saved bookmarks to point to http://www.biddulph.org.uk/ or http://www.rowing.biddulph.btinternet.co.uk/ instead of to http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/david_biddulph/]
If, for the event you are looking at, there are no links here to the 2009 information, it may perhaps be worth trying last year's link (if there is one) from the 2008 calendar, or (of course) keep an eye on Rachel Quarrell's New Information page.  See also the ARA 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  [Some dates in my calendar may possibly be out of date, as they were originally based on the latest 2008/9 dates from ARA in Sept 07, & they may have changed since then.  2009/10 dates have now been included, but again some dates may have changed subsequently.]
