A unique event on Friday 3rd July

June 24th, 2009

The following message has flown our way:

Good Lord! The planets have aligned, again, and the magic tooth fairy has, by sheer good fortune, made the Friday of Henley (Jul 3rd) National Flower Day. As ever, the long-suffering Emma Murphy is working late into each night to provide the resplendent rosettes.

Midday in Fawley bar; so ensure you have your best and finest button hole in place. No more than 20% should be man-made (save for oasis and pins, safety pins, padlocks).

Wins at Peterborough Spring Sprint

June 7th, 2009

Chris Bland (senior squad) and Matt Larkworthy (junior squad) won their event convincingly at Peterborough Spring Sprint Regatta on Sunday 7th June. Racing above their status in the Intermediate 3 Double Sculls event, they won their heat, semi-final and final convincingly. In the final raced over 500 metres, they beat crews from Beccles RC, Boston RC and Peterborough City RC. This win was all the more remarkable as this was Matt Larkworthy’s regatta debut and Chris Bland was a last minute substitute into the crew. A sculling novice pot for both of them.
