I have an old oar used by my father Stuart Colin Sleeman in 1933 (I believe). I always remeber it being beautifully sign written with the names of the team' their weights and the Merton Crest etc. I recently removedd it from the attic in my, now deceased, parent's home only to find that all the sign writing had disappeared and the varnish lifted from the paddle. I would like to have it re written and would be grateful to know if there any records of the Eight from around the 1931,32,33,34 time. Any help would be much appreciated.

We still need more colleges to get on board with the sponsored erg to Ghana. 7,500km won't erg itself! If you would be interested in covering a section, email me at ribbott@christian-aid.org and I'll send you a pack of sponsorship forms, flyers, posters and a map with your own part of the route marked.

It should be a good way to get your crews fit for Eights whilst raising money to support the world's poorest people - what better motivation? All you have to do is erg 15k each before Eights rowing on.

Prizes for the best times/most sponsorship, as well as glory!
