The fourth round of the Northern Rowing Sunday League was memorable in a number of ways. Falling as it did within the local regatta season meant that we had to bid farewell to those who had recently lost their novice status and become ineligible. The leaders of the Open category from Tyne were also ineligible due to the loss of their novice status at Wansbeck Regatta the previous day. With the leaders in both categories now out of the running this opened up the competition and provided real encouragement for the remaining teams. Scheduling the Talkin Tarn round for June 1 st gave us hope of better conditions than those endured in October of the previous year, and this indeed proved to be the case with sunshine and calm water. This was most welcome as the organisers had dreamt up the idea of making competitors wear blindfolds for the second of 2 rounds in what was our first attempt at a sweep version of the popular skills head. Fortunately there was plenty of time in between rounds to enjoy the spectacular surroundings without our blindfolds. Proceedings went on about 2 hours longer than planned but nobody was in any hurry to leave. Bradford were however granted the dubious honour of going first to allow them more time for the long homeward journey. On to the business of the day and what fun it turned out to be.

This forces players to maintain a mental model of the positions of the pieces. Moves are communicated via a recognized chess notation.
