Regatta
photo's -
There are lots of photo's from this years regatta so I have split
them up into 4 seperate albums to make it a bit easier. They are
split up according to the time they were taken, so here goes. Photo's
taken between 7am and 10am,
10am and 1pm, 1pm
and 4pm and from 4pm till
the end of the day. I have also put up the photo's from the
Strathclyde Park regatta so take
a look at those too. To see a picture nice and big, double click
on it, you can then just click on the right of that picture to scroll
through them in a decent size.
If anyone wants a copy
of a photo please email
Karen and ask very nicely, she has all of the full size images. |

Club
Kit -
I have been asked by a number of people about when we are going
to do a bulk order for club kit from Godfreys. For new members who
don't know, if you order the kit as a bulk order the prices go down,
so it pays for us to get organised. I am planning on doing a club
order at the beginning of September, this means kit should be on
time for christmas. I will put a call out for orders about the middle
of August. If you want to look at what is on offer go to the club
page on the Godfrey
Website. |

CSRC
Regatta Results -
Wow, what a day!! The sun was out, the water was a little challenging
in places but we ran over 100 races in just under 10 hours and I
am reliably informed the last race set off only 1 minute late. Thanks
to everyone for doing a magnificent job helping out to make it another
huge success. More thanks will be forthcoming but I wanted to get
the results up as soon as possible, so
here they are. |
