Fantastic just the sort of info I was after and a bit of good news for
British rowing at all levels by the sounds of it. Thank you very much for
that. As for Jon, sorry i'm too used to posing on different web forums
rather than these *cough* old fasioned newsgroup things ;-)  FYI It is
nothing to do with the old Submit2Sport. What ever happened towards the end
of S2S life was more than enough to put its organisers off for quite some
time.
