As a matter of general interest, Jim, where do TAS rowers train?
Malpas Dam, Gara River, Armidale's main water supply

There's a dam between Armidale and Guyra I believe.

Good water:
On a completely different topic, does anyone have a feel for this year's thirds competition? It begins before the top grades and is (I think) minus Newington, so it's no longer a fully representative comp as it was. but its still the only rugby conp involving the TAS, High and Grammar. I imagine TAS will be competitive as always, although the school sport feeds at the moment are dominated by rowing and soccer.
My understanding is that this year TAS and Newington are "combining" to more or less equal the number of teams in the competitions.
The way it'll work is that TAS will be included as part of Newington and whichever team between New and TAS is stronger in each of the comps will be the team playing in that comp.
Apparently this helps both New and TAS (apart from the additional travelling TAS may need to do) with their programs and fills gaps in the greater GPS fixtures.
But, I was only half listening when it was being explained.
Has anyone got an update on Shore's tour to the UK? They left last week however you would think that several rowers would have been conflicted with the head of the river?
Any details also on who they are playing would be appreciated.
The tour is the 1st XV only- to my knowledge there are no rowers in the 1s.Has anyone got an update on Shore's tour to the UK? They left last week however you would think that several rowers would have been conflicted with the head of the river?

Does anyone know the matchups for the Grammar 10s on Saturday? Will 4ths play Grammar 1s or 2s?
Their first tournament is the Rosslyn Park HSBC National Schools Sevens. 70 teams in the Cup and 178 in the Vase (including Shore).
They play several games on the 22nd. Here is the draw and results:

The second tournament is Rugby School's 450th anniversary International Rugby Sevens Tournament. Full details including a link to the match fixtures is at https://www.rugbyschool.co.uk/450th/450th-anniversary-events/international-rugby-sevens-tournament/ As JuanBarn said, games start on the 24th.
I think they are squeezing a a 15s match too. No details.
Are you on tour with them FF (Folau Fainga'a)?
Have you got the link? And do you have a team list?Following them on-line from sunny Sydney.

Can someone explain to me why Newington isn't competing in the 3rd comp this year I am still a bit uncertain?
Traditionally, Newington has lacked depth in numbers regarding the open age group. As a day school with a very wide catchment area, boys in years 11-12 have found it difficult to combine quality study with after school sporting commitments. I know personally, as an Old Boy of this difficulty.
