1996 First Torpid

Randier than a Randy Sparrow and Handy with his Arrows too
- currently leader of 'Andy Harrow's Barmy Army'. Has been known to enjoy
a 'Harrow Marrow' from time to time. Yep, he likes his beer.

How does he get that tan?
Four Tom Newitt
Up from last year's reserve crew.. vice-leader of the Barmy Army.
Five Kingsley Poole
Triple blue, often mistaken in public for Jaime Brandwood.
Six Glenn Leighton
Speaks Japanese, French and Australian fluently, passable in English with
the help of this.
Seven Paul Pattenden
On the brink of stardom as soon as they introduce
Shortweight rowing as an olympic sport (sub-6foot, heavy as possible).
Often seen messing up the water whilst sculling on the Isis.
Stroke Jaime Brandwood
Hard as a brush, cunning as nails, daft as a fox.
Cox Nigel Bailey
Bit of an uvavu haircut, but the only cox in the boat
club who can steer an eight and operate the pacecoach.
Coach Dr David Lee
He's got an ace red Lennox Lewis hat and a very nice pipe.
