September 2008 RIBA Flood resilient house competition
Water Environment joined forces with Lewandowski Architects and Elliott Wood structural engineers to prepare an entry into the RIBA Flood Resilient House design competition. The brief was too design a house for the future, which takes flood risk into account via architectural features and design. The team design was based on the principle of a Houseboat, with the structure seated on a permanent footing but allowed to rise in the event of a flood. Further details of the submission can be found on the Lewandowski Willcox website and click on ‘Flood Proof House’.
21st July 2008 Lewandowski Cricket at Home Park
Guy Laister was invited for the second year in succession to lead a ‘Rest of the World’ XI versus Lewandowski Architects in the annual Home Park cricket match. Tony Clothier bolstered the ROW team this year as bright sunshine greeted players and supporters at this magnificent venue in the shadow of Windsor Castle. Thanks primarily to a rigorous spring training campaign, the Lewandowski team were too good this year, easily chasing down the ROW total and gaining revenge for the resounding 2007 defeat. This was another thoroughly enjoyable event, and 2009 promises to be a bigger and better affair!

Saturday March 1st saw winter training for female rowing competitors culminate in the Women's Head of the River Race, on the ebb tide of the River Thames from Mortlake to Putney (the University Boat Race course in reverse). Fiona competed in this event for Molesey Boat Club (based near Hampton Court), stroking the 1st Eight to a 19th finish position from 234 starters.

28th June 2007 Congratulations to Tony and Gay
Congratulations to Tony Clothier and Gay Lynton-Edwards on the announcement of their engagement. Tony proposed on a canoe trip down the River Wye following some of the most severe rainfall in UK history. The Wye was in flood at the time, but despite this, Tony managed to get down on one knee and pop the question. It seems his expert knowledge of hydraulics helped him to pick the perfect moment and they managed to keep the canoe upright long enough to reach the riverbank.
