The Crew Cut

This weekend our trusty event crew are hitting the road again and heading to the land of tulips, windmills and wooden clogs. From Sunday 21st you’ll find us at the World Rowing Championships in Rotterdam so if you’re there, Jordanne and George would love to see you. But if you can’t make it to Holland, you’ll find us at the following events over the next few weeks: World Championships, Rotterdam: 21st to 28th August Gloucester Regatta: 27th to 28th August Great River Race, Putney Hub: 3rd September World Rowing Masters, Denmark: 8th to 11th September

To mark the end of the magnificent events in Rio we are offering a bag full of our very own Rio inspired range to the lucky winner of our competition. To win, all you need to do is collect the gold, silver and bronze medals from our website. We’ve hidden one of each throughout our website so the winner is the first person to email us with hyperlinks to the three relevant pages on www.crewroom.co.uk. And, don’t worry, if your answer comes in 2nd or 3rd we’ll send the two runners up one of our top selling Air Head visors. So, to be in with a chance to win, email your answers to [email protected]. On your marks, get set…go!

Run ready: Our guide to the right women's kit

Run ready, our guide to the right kit!

Big hats, designer dresses, striped blazers and plenty of Pimms can only mean one thing – Henley Royal Regatta! Last week Crewroom joined the throngs of spectators to pitch up alongside the beautiful riverside in Oxfordshire. Remenham Farm trade village, we set up shop in what was our biggest stand to date. And, thankfully, customers loved our new range of products and new set-up with the women’s Rio range proving a big hit. But it wasn’t all work and no play. Backstage we set-up our own BBQ and, at the end of long hard day, we cracked open the Pimms. We were also fortunate enough to watch some spectacular racing and a special congratulations must go to former Crewroom model – Tom Jeffrey – who was part of the Thames RC crew to win the Visitors Challenge Cup. The Thames coxless four were a boat-length down to the crew from University of California when the Americans made a steering error and hit one of the wooden booms that line the course, almost capsizing and bringing their race to a dramatic end.

The Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon has quickly become one of the capital's most popular and iconic sporting events – a stunning 13.1 mile (flat!) route taking in four of London’s eight Royal Parks as well as some of the capital’s world-famous landmarks. Crewroom is the official sponsor of the most exclusive VIP running squad taking part, Team Squirrel, the Royal Parks Foundation’s nutty fundraising scurry. Public places in the race have long been sold out but there’s still space on Team Squirrel! By joining us on Sunday 9 October and pledging to raise £350, you’ll be running to support London’s 8 magical Royal Parks, keeping them safe, clean and bursting with life. And in return for crackin’ this amazing challenge, you’ll be supported you every step of the way – from fundraising and training advice to access to the exclusive Team Squirrel marquee on race day. You’ll even get a chance to run alongside Chester the squirrel, our life size squirrel mascot – just steer clear of his rather large bushy tail! Sign up today!
