A club outing to the cinema is a very rare thing, but also very enjoyable. The Corn Exchange was sold out last Tuesday for a showing of George Clooney’s “Boys in the Boat” about the University of Washington crew who defied the odds to win a gold medal at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Cue groans and laughter from a knowledgeable audience when the Henley course stood in for a US west coast lake or the Hudson River in Poughkeepsie, New York, or when our heroes struggled to walk properly after the first heavy training session of the season. Big thanks to Karen for organising this. A grand social occasion attended by members aged 14 to 80+.
