  • Newsletter 42 April 2018
    Newsletter 42 • April 2018 Forthcoming Meetings Wednesday 23 May 2018, 8 pm (doors open 7.30) Tudor Fashion Eleri Lynn, Curator, Hampton Court Palace Clore Centre, Hampton Court Palace, KT8 9AU Eleri Lynn is the collections curator at Historic Royal Palaces, with special responsibility for the dress collection. Her talk will tell the captivating story of Tudor dress, its construction and symbolism, and the people who made and wore it. The Tudor monarchs and their courtiers are some of the best-known figures in history. They continue, even today, to spark our curiosity and imagination. Their enduring popularity is no doubt partly due to the iconic portraits in which they are depicted in magnificent style, in farthingales and ruffs, furs and jewels, codpieces and cloaks, and vast expanses of velvet and silk. Far from being mere decoration, fashion was pivotal in the communication of status and power. It was used as a tool in securing and holding the tenuous Tudor throne and as a competitive weapon in the factions, intrigues and love-affairs of the court. Histories of Kings and Queens complement stories of unsung dressmakers, laundresses, and officials charged with maintaining and transporting the immense Tudor wardrobes from palace to palace. Refreshments will be served before the talk. Booking details are at the end of the Newsletter. Wednesday 25 July 2018, 10.30 am Wednesday 29 August 2018, 10.30 am Visit to Imber Court Museum Ember Lane, KT8 0BT Police horses are a familiar sight around Molesey and this is your opportunity to see behind the scenes, with a guided tour of the stables and the museum at Imber Court.

    Article style: Original Research Article Title: Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race: performance, pacing and tactics between 1890 and 2014. Running title: Performance, pacing and tactics in the Boat Race Authors: Andrew M. Edwards 1-2, Joshua H. Guy1-2, Florentina J. Hettinga3 Affiliations: 1University of St Mark & St John, Plymouth, UK 2James Cook University, Sport & Exercise Science, Cairns, Australia 3University of Essex, School of Biological Sciences, Centre of Sport and Exercise Science, Colchester, UK Corresponding Author: Professor Andrew Edwards Dean, Faculty of Sport & Health Sciences University of St Mark & St John Plymouth, Devon, UK e-mail: [email protected] Tel: +44 1752 636700 Fax: +44 1752 636710 Key points: 1. Oxford and Cambridge crews are now significantly faster and heavier in comparison to their racing predecessors 2. All crews in the 124 year sample displayed a fast start racing strategy 3. Obtaining an early advantage appears more meaningful than the selection of starting station despite undulations in the river course 1 Abstract: Background: Currently no studies have examined the historical performances of Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race crews in the context of performance, pacing and tactics which is surprising as the event has routinely taken place annually for over 150 years on the same course. Objectives: The purpose of this study was twofold, to firstly examine the historical development of performances and physical characteristics of crews over 124 years of the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race between 1890 and 2014 and secondly to investigate the pacing and tactics employed by crews over that period. Methods: Linear regression modelling was applied to investigate the development of performance and body size for crews of eight males over time from Boat Race archive data.

  • Rowing and Harness Racing
    Saint John: A Sporting Tradition 1785-1985 Brian Flood Chapter 2 Rowing and Harness Racing Rowing Who are these chaps? What on earth are they doing in Paris? They have come to row. Oh, God help me. Was there ever a crew like Saint John’s own Paris crew? Some say they were the greatest four-oared crew that ever sat in a shell. Whether you believe they were or not depends on what reports of them you read. Regardless, they certainly were a unique four- some. In a sport known for its well-schooled, highly-polished, upper class gentlemen, the Paris crew were a marked contrast. They were rough, ill-bred, tobacco-chewing fishermen. They did one thing, and they did it well: Row. They were Saint John’s first World Champions. They were the end product, the cream of the crop of over sixty years of aquatic development in Saint John. They were the stars in the golden age of rowing - an age that produced a number of champion crews. In the fall of 1856, for example, one of our local crews, one of the greatest of the era, was down in Boston for a race. The Neptune crew, as it was called, was made up of John and Dennis Morris, Ned Walsh, and John Lambert. They defeated a New York crew over a six mile course on the Charles River. The Saint John crew returned home with $2,000 in prize money and an undisclosed amount in side bets. In those days, $2,000 was a lot of money: equal, in fact, to about $60,000 on today’s market.
