I am not sure if *you* can - but I have made you a moderator, so if you click "edit" on the original post you may be able to see the option now.

As moderator, you have awesome power of course.

Enjoy your holiday.

Fellow FS'ers...

Please welcome Chloe, my 8 year old daughter who I'm sure would rather live with the Taylors than me!

I hope no one minds my daughter joining our ranks, she does so with the best intentions and after completing her first 1k in 7.34 is making her old dad fairly concerned that she might just break my pb soon!

Neil.

Welcome Chloe! My daughter Elizabeth (5) was deemed to young by her father (but possibly it was because she was too much of a threat!)

Stan · Post by **Stan** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 6:12 pm

Welcome to Chloe - our youngest member.
Neil did you rank her time - you will probably find she has done really well in her age group

Gooner Neil · Post by **Gooner Neil** » Sun Jul 09, 2006 6:22 pm

Thanks Thomas and Stan.

I didn't think about the ranking. Went back it appears she 12 out of 22

She wouldn't have been allowed to join WISE so another reason why FS are great!

Oops

my mistake - sorry.

There were 2 other joiners who had said they would add their daughter!
I guessed wrong! Losing track with all the emails.

Welcome Chloe anyway!!

I'll change the previous post.

Looks like I'm upsetting the police again?!

I think we're in trouble Gooner - once she gets the technique sorted she'll be flying.

Thomas,

The look of determination humbled her father howere regarding the tired comment she's a little liar

BartMan · Post by **BartMan** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 6:52 am

is there a list of all the members here, and if not, can we have one...

Pretty please.

There is the metre board for a list of names or the memberlist button above for all the registered users of the forum. What sort of details do you need? I think it might be a bit dodgy/hard work to keep track of email addresses etc. Better if people put it in their profile on this site maybe?

PSims · Post by **PSims** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 10:56 am

I have most of the emails, but we should not publish these without people's permission.

The Metres board is the best way to track what's going on.
You can email an individual member by the C2 Send Ranking Email facility.

We started by emailing each other, buy as we grew it became a deluge - hence this forum instead!

Welcome Sam.

Question: does the 100th member get a free month off rowing?

If yes, can I leave and rejoin?

PSims · Post by **PSims** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 9:44 pm

100th member - hmm.

Thinks...a challenge with 100 in it somewhere.....

PSims · Post by **PSims** » Tue Jul 11, 2006 11:27 am

Welcome 2 new members:

Edmond Mertes (LUX)

Lee St Claire (GBR)

Edmond - I can see your last name getting misspelled to Metres....but perhaps that's a good thing on this team!!!

Good to see Luxembourg represented in addition to other countries.

Paul

How about the accumulated metres of the 100th member divided by 100?

Therefore a 500k joiner gives us all a 5k challenge.

This is not (underlined in bold) an excuse to find another Nigel!

Or each member's accumulated meterage when the 100th perosn joins, divided by 100. Time then adjusted to a common say 5k? Therefore for a 250k it is a 2.5k piece with the time result x 2.

For a 600k it is 6k with time result x 5/6

Not done the factors but this might be quite close?
