Marlow Spring Regatta
Huge thanks to all who came to compete at Marlow Spring Regatta on Saturday. There was incredible buzz on land and on the water, some great racing and countless stories that will be told for some time to come. All up, 896 competitors from 24 clubs took part in 161 races. The competitors were multi-generational, from the J13s through the junior age categories, seniors and masters up to and including Masters H. As ever, the paras and adaptives flocked to tech water alone and in supported crews. The weather was great, up until late afternoon when it was anything but. An event like this does not just happen, so, on everyone’s behalf, many thanks to all the volunteers, officials, support teams and umpires who made the magic happen. It is only when you stand back that you get a sense of the immense scale of the endeavour.
* Congratulations on yet another successful event at Marlow. Many thanks to Marlow Rowing Club for your excellent organisation and friendly welcome; we had a ball.
* Most of us were lucky enough to row in the glorious sunshine and enjoy the race that you have laid on for us all. Many thanks to you and all at Marlow RC for organising such a brilliant day for all of us! We’re looking at returning for the Marlow Town version!
* Many thanks, we certainly enjoyed it, had some great racing and found the downpour you laid on thoroughly bracing!
