UPDATE:
As best we can tell the water will be low, and as such suitable for freshers, so there shouldn't be a problem borrowing club boats.
So if you're a fresher plan on having a boat and the only thing that would mess that up is if temperatures plummet or water levels increase hugely.
Sign up by Thursday and a definite call will be made on water levels on Friday.
If you won't be taking part in the races bring a camera and join in the fun on the bank, there are points for crowd reaction, so your participation is vital
