The big news is that the contractors have gone and we can now get our fine boats back in the water. Building works and winter weather have conspired to keep most of us off the river for the last six months and now is the time to get started again. The tub pair has provided some much needed outings through the winter but there is nothing like the excitement of a real rowing boat to get the adrenalin going. For those who would like to take things a little further and compete, there will be a WBC crew (or crews) entered for this year’s Goring & Streatley Regatta on Saturday 18th July, following an invitation extended by Goring Gap Boat Club. So if you wish to compete in a coxed four this will be a very good opportunity to do some proper racing. There is plenty of time for training and they will provide the restricted fours, blades and even coxes, so you are guaranteed a seat if you want to compete.
