Straight eights*

At last, sunshine! Saturday was Reading University Boat Club's Head of the River Race - against the clock. All boats are eights, a format that's all wrong for full-crew photos, you can end up with a lot of background before cropping.

See photos of all crews.

*Not to be confused with Straight8 - the Super-8 film making project.
