XIX Australian Masters Games

It was an unprepossessing venue for the Indoor Rowing events held in a part of Adelaide railway station scheduled for renovation. We were shoehorned into a musty annexe with bad acoustics and plaster peeling off the ceiling. Unfortunately, the P.A. system wasn’t up to the job. Apart from these drawb...

Re: September CTC: The Rowing Maul

Near the base of the ladder there lies
A boat from which come some faint cries
Of earnest regret
That you’re not on board yet
So get cracking, it’s not too late guys :!:

Ladies, please help us to float
An undermanned desolate boat
You don’t have to be quick
Your own pace you can pick
And you’ll add to the score line (please note) :fsgrin:

Re: Signature image generator - bug tracking and information

Hi Jon
To solve the problem with the signature image generator, I’ve devised a workaround by making my own.
So, job done; no worries :fsbgrin:
All the best and many thanks for all the work you do “under the bonnet” in keeping the technical side of FS going.
