1st June 2011  -  Phew!  Snapper Ron has published a big backlog of photographs from 4 events ranging from local (NER), through national (Nat Schools and BUCS) and ending up in the North Sea (Coastal Regatta).  I think the coastal skiffs would have been of more use in the challenging conditions at Holme Pierrpont - weather conditions at windy Nottingham affected both the BUCS and Nat Schools events.
I wonder when they will consider moving these events to the relative calm of Strathclyde Park?

Snapper Ron is offering an image-publishing service for the Aberdeen rowing community with the working title of DeeSnappers (thanks to Richard Mathieson for that suggestion)
If anyone wishes to send me their rowing photographs, I am happy to publish them. 
Suitable picture sizes are 800x600 pixels with medium jpg compression (I can scale down larger pictures).
You can see the first example of this service from Steven Clark of ABC who provided photographs from Strathclyde
Park regatta on 21st & 22nd April 2007. 

By sending the images, I will assume that you are happy for me to pass on full-size copies to anyone who requests one.
My legal bits page has information about ownership of the images. 
I am not able (yet) to publish video clips and images will be down-sized for rapid loading
