Fall recruiting continues

Posted on by

Granby Crew is always looking for interested students.  With a new school year about to start, this is the best time to join our team.  Right now we’re at the boathouse on weekdays from 1530-1800 to work on our equipment and do a bit of calisthenics.  But on Tuesday the 30th we’ll be over at the school for freshman orientation with a display of equipment and team members available to answer any questions you might have about crew.  Come see us there, or drop by the boathouse.

The Boys of ’36

Posted on by

The PBS film about the book “The Boys in the Boat” is being broadcast on WHRO15 on Tuesday night (2Aug) at 2100.  It is also being shown on WHRO World on Thursday night (4Aug) at 2000.  It’s a good use of one hour for anyone, and almost required viewing for Granby Crew.  Note the appearances by Peter Mallory.  We’ll explain his relationship to our team when practice starts.  If you’re thinking about joining our team, you should watch.  The best stories of any sport are the best recruiting tools for that sport.
