On the 7th and 8th December, the trials for the BUSA team took place at the
Welsh Harp in London. On Saturday, a random pairs event was held. Martin
Smethers was kept busy in the umpire boat, with lots of close racing and
protests. On Sunday, some three boat racing took place with everyone
swapping teams after every few races. The BUSA team will compete at the
Wilson in May, and potentially several other events during the spring.
