2018 BGS Start of Season Rowing Party

2018 BGS Start of season Rowing Party.
I provided a PA system.
4 speakers - The two powered Behringers on stands in the shed  and the two 15" passives outside in the garden overlooking the hard stand.
Used my Behringer AR18 mixer controlled by the old macbook air running windows and the X-AIR program.  Also a wireless AP so I could control it on my phone.

Derek kindly lent me a radio mic that interestingly consisted of a TX module with a XLR connector that plugs onto any mic you like.

The "Guest Speaker" was an interview

Samsung A5 issues


THURSDAY 24 OCT 2018

AM

Phone will not show up on my PC.

Lunch time made phone call.  Silence from other end until I put it on hands free.  Very reproducible.  Hands free I can hear the other person. Normal is complete silence.

4pm ish took to Harvey norman oxley.
They advised it will have to go to samsung for evaluation and that can take up to 3 weeks and they don't lend a phone during that time.

While there, they connected to an XP machine and it worked.
Then connected my lap top and again the phone showed up as a disk as wanted.

Samsung Cloud on PC

My supposedly waterproof Samsung S7 died yesterday.  It was in the rowing boat in a bag and got damp.  I suspect water had been getting in gradually though and yesterday was just the last straw.

The sad thing is that  my Samsung Cloud Storage is full.

Samsung via chat advise that one can not purchase extra storage.

The challenge is how to get the old photos off the Samsung cloud.

WINDOWS APP
It would appear one can download a windows App

Brigo


Today the rain threatened but we stared it down.

We had three new girls at Brigidine rowing today.

That matched up nicely with three experienced girls.

A big thankyou to the experienced girls for their teaching and example.

In the middle of our training a bunch of masters were observed trying to out run the tinnie.
