One of the Physiotherapy lecturers was treating the rowers and knew I was applying through UCAS for the following year. About a week before starting my 3rd year he called me to say there was a place available and did I want it! I had just finished a week of work experience and said YES! I had rowed from age 13, starting at school (George Watson's College) and came through the GB junior programme which is why I ended up coming to Brookes. My fondest memories are 'Battle Paddling' on a Wednesday afternoon, spending summers with some of my best friends on the river, winning lots and thinking we were dominating the world of woman's rowing (we dreamt big and nothing would stand in the way!). I also miss running 10km's faster than I can dream of now! Since leaving Brookes I went on to row full time for a few years at Leander which was brilliant. Unfortunately a back injury stopped my rowing career earlier than I would have liked so I moved into London to work in private practice physio and played around in Triathlon. I held a lecturing role in Sports Therapy for an academic year which is an aspect of the profession I would love to do more of. My most recent career move has been into a Specialist Physio role in a private practice outside Reading and I am the Lead GB Rowing Junior Team Physio. This role involves travel with the team for training camps, trials and international competition and is so rewarding leading education sessions to our up and coming Olympians! They love to learn and I love to teach and giving back into a sport I know so much about. Advice I would give to current athletes is to take opportunities that are given to you and don't be scared to take the next move if you are losing motivation or not learning every day. For me my life balance needs: a challenge (like completing a masters), a physical goal (like running a marathon) and a great social bubble! When you complete the challenge or goal move on to the next!" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529df3b7e4b096099b54c21b/1614541278760-RT44SGCEH0NUAJLBI69W/Temple+93.png News - The Bull - Spring Newsletter The Temple Challenge Cup crew of '93 - by John Cooper (stroke) "The journey for me & a number of the 1993 winning crew (& squad) started well before. It was 1991, a dark autumn evening, some damp portacabins up at Headington full of wannabe rowers being asked to scribble down on a bit of paper what they’ve done & why they might be good enough to make the cut in the new Poly/Brookes system under coaches Richard Spratley & Tim Levy. It was a nervous time. Was I, were any of us good enough? So you probably know the Henley 1992 story. We were joint favourites…it was a total disaster, broken seat just after the island on Thursday, game over. But for that mishap could we have gone the whole distance? No one will ever know, but IC would have made tough opponents. 1992 started off like groundhog year. The winter grind ahead, running & weights twice a week (followed by ‘Riots'), ergo tests on a Monday, Wallingford on Wednesday & 2’ on 2’ off all weekend down at Wallingford. Slotting in & out of whatever boats we could get our hands on & getting the measure of each other, the coaches & the Wallingford stretch. Notable winter markers included included top billing in small boats trials at Henley being narrowly beaten into second place in the fours, just behind GB's Olympians! There was also a notable win at the 4s Head (including a close shave with the bill on the way home from the very liquid prize giving…Pete!). However, the disappointing 8's head results showed us that we still had a lot of work to do. A brutal Wimbleball trip in the snow ensued to get things back on track… Seat racing continued into early May, keeping everyone on their toes. Wins over the French National Champions at Paris seemed to set things up & confidence was building nicely (the real victory was smuggling Mike Reynaud into France under the kit bags & out again without a passport). There were many wins that year but I can't actually remember them too well, the reason being, whilst nice, none of them mattered. What I do remember is being deep into multiple 8 min pieces on a still summers eve a couple of weeks before Henley. Richard strangely for once not driving the launch over the stern, he was some distance back just watching & then a weird thing, several nods of approval. The boat was really flying. All that training all that desire being thrown into the last heavy sessions before a slight taper. It’s that beautiful feeling, the boat set steady with everyone at full bore & with every pass we dragged extra meters out of the shell. Henley week- It's still a blur but collectively we all recall Richard serving up Seb Coe videos the basic message being favourites sometimes don’t win, so get out of the blocks like a lunatic, like Coe did (when he wasn't favourite but won). Routines - mini bus stopped in the same lay-by every day of regatta week to relieve nervous bladders & Survivor's Eye of the tiger always came on as we crossed the bridge. So to racing. The only wobble was Thursday against Cardiff where we all seemed to interpret "do enough” into “everyone do your own thing & it should be fine”. It nearly wasn’t enough & coming into the enclosures a load of geese got in the way just as we were trying to make it look like we weren't finding it too hard. The remaining heats went without incident & unbelievably we were through to Sunday. Finals Day. Nerve filled journey over, check gear, pre-race Richard talk over, warm up, into the boat. It's all surreal but then once you're into the pre-race routine on the water you settle. You want perfection in that warm up but its Henley finals day, the sun's out, motor cruisers & wash everywhere & it's noisy & rocky. Nerves settle slightly then before you know it you're on the start. Richard & Tim are behind in the Umpire’s launch. Richard can't, doesn't, need to say anything as you know its come down to 9 blokes who have got to empty the tank, everything. All the training, all the previous years hurt, the '92 f*** up. Could it happen again? You’re going to wring every last drop of juice out of the tank. Our opponents, Trinity College Dublin, their third final in as many years, seasoned sly opponents who were ready to do the same, give everything they’ve got & trash our campaign. The boat straight, blades set, we were away. High 40's off the start & we meant business. Each stroke the cleavers did their work, until by the end of the island we were in control & had really settled into a rhythm you seldom get when you know every man is at the edge serving up everything they’ve got including Matt (cox) who made sure TCD felt & saw the power being put down by the boys. It was beautiful but savage for TCD as there was no stopping us. Following a brief settle there was a push at the Regatta enclosure then a further raise at Stewards & a ramp up through the grandstands which meant we put almost 4 lengths on TCD. Afterglow basically consisted of Rich telling us not to get too drunk before prize giving. Thank you Browny, Rusty, Jezza, Cheesemaster, Mikey boy, Peiller, Hoody & Matt for the season of a lifetime. It was an honour to serve. Special thanks to Richard for his practical & pragmatic approach to getting the boat club to where it was then on a shoestring with all of us begging & borrowing whatever we could. Thanks also to to Tim levy & big shout out to all the club’s previous members who got the club to where it was then & is now. Peter Lowe gets a special mention too as he was instrumental in setting up the machine with Richard at the helm. A masterstroke of something which has ultimately changed the DNA of GB & International rowing. Chapeau to everyone involved with the club past & present". https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529df3b7e4b096099b54c21b/1614541475721-2FXBVSXIGCFOFRLH46AD/Richard+Chambers.jpg News - The Bull - Spring Newsletter Richard Chambers- Women's Coach "I was a Brookes rower (sometimes cox) from 2003 to 2009. Oxford Brookes was my catapult into the British Rowing Team and I have always wanted to come back to a club where I benefited so much from. After retiring from my career as an athlete in rowing I took up the assistant coach role at Cambridge working alongside Steve Trapmore as well as being a GB Rowing Team U23 crew coach. I feel privileged to have experienced different rowing teams and environments and hope that I can use what I have learned to be a coach that the Brookes women’s team deserves. When James asked me to write about my time as a coach at Oxford Brookes for the women’s team I was unsure what to write. No-one expected that we would be heading for a global pandemic in September 2019, so I have not had the chance to have a full season with the women's team yet. In the early part of my first season our women’s team performed well at Upper Thames Head before going on to beat both Oxford and Cambridge boat race and reserve crews in their annual fixtures on the tideway. Then the world stopped and so did the rowing. The challenges of being a coach shifted from thinking forward towards Henley and those hoping to compete at U23’s but to navigating the women’s team through the pandemic. Rowing isn’t a sport where you can stop and then pick it up again in 6 months expecting to be where you left off – so the training had to continue. Ergo’s were handed out, a training log put together and we got our heads around running, cycling and plenty of time on the ergo!! Zoom quizzes and speaking via facetime became the new normal. Training through the lockdowns has evolved. Lockdown 3 see’s the women complete the standard ergo sessions each week but they have more control and autonomy over the rest of their training. The training log still exists so there is an element of accountability in completing their training. On the 16th January, 22 of our women did an online zoom ergo fixture against Tideway scullers. While it was good to do some racing we all hoped our next fixture would be on the water. Racing will return one day and our women want to be ready to pull on their Brookes racing kit and get after it. I am proud of how they have adapted to the challenges they have faced and I am confident that they will thrive because of this in whatever they do after studying and rowing at Oxford Brookes." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529df3b7e4b096099b54c21b/1614541709123-8GZOQXC6D2ZBS56OXRMS/Womens+8.jpg News - The Bull - Spring Newsletter "Rowing training in lockdown has been challenging to say the least. This involves training in isolation, away from teammates, away from facilities, a change of scenery and absence of rewards attached to testing and racing. I think I speak on behalf of many rowers around the country when I say our back gardens have become our new training grounds, and our routines have been turned upside down. However, I hope I speak on behalf of many rowers when I say that there have been positives along this unknown journey. When in the darkness, the search for the light is vital, and I know many of my teammates and friends in the rowing community have excelled in finding the light. Although we are stuck in the unknown, our determination, motivation and goals have not changed. We are still striving to be the best we can be for Brookes, for ourselves, and our teammates around us, ready for when we can get back in the boats to go backwards but keep moving forwards. The efforts from our coach Richard, to help us excel in these times has been incredible, and his determination to keep the squad working together from different locations will in no doubt show when we can get back to rowing and racing. Many of our male and female athletes have achieved astonishing PB’s on ergo tests, taken up new hobbies, excelled in their university work, and unlocked new strategies to stay positive. We’ve had numerous athletes take on exercise challenges for charities, which was amazing to see! We’ve also had athletes working for the NHS, whether that be on placements or jobs, exhausted from their duties, but still remaining focused and training in the early mornings and late evenings. There is light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully we are approaching the end. We can’t wait to start putting our work from behind the scenes onto the water, wear our Brookes colours, and be the best we possibly can be in the summer."

Tamsin Lemesle - Chair In 2004 I came to study at the Oxford School of Architecture, and joined Oxford Brookes Boat Club that September. I look back on my time at Brookes with great fondness, not only did I meet my husband on my first 3 bridges run, I also made lifelong friendships, and memories. To start Brookes wasn’t exactly what I had expected, despite Carla Devlin (nee Ashford) winning the Remenham Challenge Cup in a composite crew the summer before I arrived, by start of the season there were no returning women’s squad members. Brookes hadn’t been able to enter a women’s crew at WEHORR for some years, so we started at 419. In my final year we finished 2nd, one of my biggest achievements at Brookes, poignant that for five years we literally raced our way to the top and it is great to see that since then we haven’t missed a top 5 finish - round of applause to the girls who have raced to secure that starting place for the following years crew! In 2008 my HRR Remenham Challenge Cup crew had just lost out in the semi-finals to the women’s GB team (I believe it to have been the first time we had qualified a Brookes crew in the event). The Poly Boys invited us to the Taurus BBQ which in those days was hosted out of Pete Lowe’s car parked behind the boat tents. Suspecting my rowing career had come to end and looking for new challenges I took up Pete’s offer to come to a Taurus AGM, and was signed up…although to my surprise I found out this summer that I had never officially been voted in… My involvement in Taurus is really my way of giving back to Brookes to ensure that everyone has the same positive experience that I did. Whether that is support on or off the water - we are all part of the Brookes Rowing programme, which in turn makes us Taurus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529df3b7e4b096099b54c21b/1588533170965-WZNWI2TSXT17XHRLB0BM/Screen+Shot+2020-05-03+at+20.12.27.png The Committee - James Symington - Vice Chair I rowed at Oxford Poly from 1987 - 1992. Starting as a novice & ending with a Henley semi-final in the Visitors. I can’t really remember what I studied… I had the pleasure of having Richard Spratley as my coach for his first & my final year. He brought plenty of hard weekends training at Shiplake over the winter & the first ever rowing camp at Wimbleball lake. I went to row at Imperial for a year in 1993, for a final year of fun, then moved into the hospitality industry in 1994, where I have been working ever since. I am now organising parties and run my own company, The White Label. I lived, breathed & dreamt rowing whilst at Oxford Brookes, & have masses of amazing memories of the good times I had. My role within Taurus is to support the chairman and help re-establish this alumni club as a stepping stone for current Brookes athletes. We would like our members to stay connected to Brookes and at the same time get valuable careers advice from alumni in a whole range of industries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529df3b7e4b096099b54c21b/1587916488390-H98HDPBRO900X777RYOB/Simon+.jpeg The Committee - Simon Speirs - Treasurer I attended Oxford Brookes to study Business Studies from 1987 - 1991 and started rowing in my 2nd year as a novice with Alex Gandon as a coach. I’m now a Senior Director managing the European division at a firm that runs Business Process Outsourcing deals for Accounting activities. During my time at Brookes we were the best crew ever never to bloody win anything! We did achieve a 156th spot in the HORR with a prevailing wind and nice route. I went onto do nothing after leaving the Poly until I hit 40 when I discovered I could run and have tackled local ParkRuns to ultraMarathons. I managed to knock out a 2hr 45 Marathon at London 2012 and also became Captain of a local running club for the past 8 years. In 2013, I discovered cycling, so have done a range of multi-stage races in the Alps. Never right at the pointy end of the pack, but decent enough for the amount of training permitted with the job and the 3 kids. I’ve been involved with the committee Since 1996 as membership secretary and have held the Treasury position since around 2001 (I lose track). Between me and Pete Lowe we’ve probably held every role required at various times - especially in the wilderness years when it seemed just me and him were holding the fort for TBC. I’ll continue to do the Treasury role for no https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529df3b7e4b096099b54c21b/1765124577901-UVY92G4E53BTY3AVS97Z/James%2BForrester The Committee - James Forrester - Crew Captain I studied Real Estate at Brookes from 2013-2017. I learnt to row at City of Oxford Rowing Club then joined the novice programme at Brookes where I progressed onto the senior squad in my second year. Standout memories of Brookes Rowing centre around character building sessions at Wimbleball lake setting 1500m camp records and being swapped between boats multiple times a session. We would then return to the infamous digs before they were lavishly refurbished as they are now, where we refuelled on premium nutrition of sausage rolls and Exmoor Beast. After leaving Brookes I even managed a trip down the course in the Ladies Plate at Henley in a beer boat which was quite the week. I then moved to London to begin a career in commercial property, passing my exams to become a Chartered Surveyor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529df3b7e4b096099b54c21b/1765124605120-Y0AH35H7J0BND9QDOF4A/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-05-03%2Bat%2B20.07.39.png The Committee - Pete Lowe - Former Chair I joined Oxford Poly in 1987 and left in 1993. Looking back through rose tinted glasses, I loved my time- mostly spent trying to fit in studies around rowing! In 1992 I brought in a new coaching team including Richard Spratley. The results speak for themselves! James Symington and I designed the Poly/Brookes blazer putting us on the blazer map at Henley today. I had many near misses at HRR including a canvass loss to IC in the 1990 Temple Challenge Cup semi final, broken seat in our great crew of ‘92 and hitting the booms in the semi in ‘97! Hence, no HRR win, but I continue to challenge myself even up to the present day. In 1997 I rowed across the Atlantic in the first ever race, completing the crossing in 61 days. I’ve run a couple of London marathons, competed in the Devizes to Westminster kayak race and swum the length of Lake Windermere. In 2018 I swam front crawl across the English Channel non-stop solo, non wetsuit, in 13hrs and 52 minutes. Apart from ridiculous challenges, I have an amazing wife and three kids all still at school who I love to support whenever I can on the sports pitch. Oh, and I run my own commercial property business! I had been chairman for more than 20 years, but in 2022, I decided to step down & hand over the reins. I am pleased to stay involved, support the enthusiasm of the team and encourage new ideas. We are excited about the future of the club and we aim to attract new members and build our contacts to support the vision of growing the Taurus family. http://www.taurusboatclub.org.uk/privacy daily 0.75 2026-02-18 http://www.taurusboatclub.org.uk/products daily 0.75 2020-02-24 http://www.taurusboatclub.org.uk/taurus-shop daily 0.75 2025-12-09 http://www.taurusboatclub.org.uk/taurus-shop/taurus-cufflinks monthly 0.5 2025-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529df3b7e4b096099b54c21b/fea7234b-87d5-4b48-9dc7-9e8b006094c4/IMG_0106%281%29.jpg Taurus Shop - Taurus Cufflinks - IMG_0106(1).jpg http://www.taurusboatclub.org.uk/taurus-shop/p8m66fsu534660giyyqtxqa4imwo6z monthly 0.5 2026-02-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529df3b7e4b096099b54c21b/811edd76-5285-49f2-96e3-bcd06cf69ed7/07aa6686-a1c6-42f4-8212-c771264d1c22.JPG Taurus Shop - Taurus Tie - 07aa6686-a1c6-42f4-8212-c771264d1c22.JPG http://www.taurusboatclub.org.uk/taurus-shop/taurus-umbrella monthly 0.5 2026-02-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/529df3b7e4b096099b54c21b/1765123231042-V4TC0LNC838Y3GW5H7G9/IMG_9146.jpg Taurus Shop - Taurus Umbrella - IMG_9146.jpg
