Dear Colleagues,

I hope you have all had a good summer and enjoyed some holiday. It is time to start organising the above event and once again we ask for your assistance to run the day.

We expect to run 7 Divisions starting at 09.15 and finishing at 16.30.
We would like to organise two shifts of Marshals, the morning shift from 08.45 to 13.30 and the afternoon shift from 13.30 to 17.00
Monitors can be in shifts of two or more Divisions.

Breakfast for the morning shift will be available at BRC from 08.00 as usual but please book one, if required on your reply.
Snacks and drinks will be delivered at approx 13.30 for the afternoon shift

Please click on this link to reply www.bedfordrowing.co.uk/events/helpers
Your response by the 1st October would be appreciated so that I can publish the duty rotas in good time

Thanks in advance and we look forward to seeing you on Oct 10th

With the evenings drawing in, all crews are reminded that they MUST carry lights at night. No lights = no outing.

It’s that time of year again. This year’s annual dinner will be on Friday 1st October. Tickets are the same price as last year, £35 (£26 for juniors). Look out for posters in the bar with all the details. Please book your place, pay and choose your menu (at the BRC bar) ASAP so that we can get numbers and payment to the Swan in good time. And this year PLEASE DON’T LEAVE IT UNTIL THE NIGHT BEFORE TO BOOK!! (you know who you are!!)

Also don’t forget donations for the raffle and silent auction. We raised nearly £1200 last year and it all went to the boat fund. Leave donations at the bar.

Any questions, let me know. It would be great to see our new members there too. Partners/friends are welcome.

Get booking!

Wins for Tom in IM1.1x over a sculler from Vesta RC and for the Mixed IM3.8+ in an extremely eventful race. The 8 beat City of Oxford RC by 3 inches, and the other crew in the race, Warwick Graduates BC, were halted halfway down the course when their 3-man was catapulted out vertically by an ejector crab. All other crews reached the finals.
