York University Boat Club's Senior Men's squad is on the look out for coxes.

Squad member Nick Cresswell said: "The University boat club is a thriving and growing club based on the River Ouse. But lately the club has experienced problems with coxing. Due to the size of the squad and the lack of coxes available the club has cut some of its water time for a few members.

"We are looking for people of student age, small build and lightweight to help with motivating the crews during outings and steer the boats."

Anyone who can help can contact Nick Cresswell via the university's Athletic Union or by e-mailing him at nac101@york.ac.uk
