    • Had to keep up rowing training in the evening so didnt experience the nightlife in derby. Was alson living on the wrong side of the city for this.

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • The team had a few social evenings but otherwise you had to find stuff top do in the evenings. Several gyms you can join which is useful.
