Notice to regatta crews

Crew tickets have now either been sent to the captains or they are in the post and will arrive shortly. If you don’t receive your entry tickets please contact Nick as soon as possible on nickjbubb@aol.com or 01491 873624.

Regarding the weather outlook, if things are very wet on the day then parking may be rearranged further away so please can all rowers allow plenty of time to turn up for their race (10 minutes will not be enough) to avoid elimination on the day without even getting in a boat.

Regatta Training

Training takes place every evening this week from 6.30 to 8.45 at the BoatClub. Please turn up in plenty of time for your session to get the maximum time on the water!

Goring River Pageant

The Goring Gap Boat Club is helping to organise the River Pageant in the Goring Gap, part of the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations.  It will be  held on the river below the tw villages, with over 35 boats parading past at 11:30 am. The parade will be led by a wonderful recreation of a royal barge – but our octupule and eight will be following close behind.
Our preparations are well advanced – and we hope to help contribute to the wonderful atmosphere of the Jubilee weekend.
Please contact Boat Club members John Wills, Neil Derbyshire or Ian Smith for further details, or if you would like to help out or take part.
