Team Leaders

Last year Kimberley Naylor-Perrott took over the role as Team manager and Pete Marston was the new Team Coach. I'm very pleased to say they have both offered to reprise these roles for the 2012 event. Both Kimberley and Pete will be able to give advice prior to travelling and at the GB Team Meeting, but may not be available to cox on the day as both will be competing themselves. All competitors will receive a ticket for their personal coxswain for access to the competition floor good for that race only.

Kimberley first competed at BIRC in 1998, and qualified as C2 Instructor in 2000. Competing at BIRC and WIRC on and off between raising her family, she is now returning to competitive erging, and believes that the Crash B's are a unique experience and she is looking forward to helping to foster a "Team GB spirit" - whether you are travelling as an individual or as part of a club or team.

Pete first competed at the CRASH-B's in 2004 (and BIRC in 2001), as well as taking part in the past two events in 2009 and 2010. Pete is also a C2 qualified instructor and crew class instructor, and has been individually coaching a number of erg athletes over the past few years, including many competing at this year's CRASH-B's.

Team GB Pre-Race Get Together

There will be a short meeting for all "Team GB" competitors at the Royal Sonesta Hotel in 'Skyline A, B & C' between 11:00 and 12:00, (just before the International Competitor Luncheon), during which you will be able to meet up with old friends and make new ones! Kimberley and Pete will be able to pass on their experiences of the event, and be able to provide practical information. There will be a team photo and they will also try and arrange a convenient venue for a post competition meal and/or drinks.
