Three Rivers Race 2011

Thank you to all clubs who attended the Three Rivers Race which we held at Saltash on Sunday 13th March, which saw some great racing to open the season. Full results listed here.

Caradon 1st and 2nd!

There’s not a huge amount to add to this headline other than to say the result was not so much a win by an outstanding ‘A’ crew but a complete demolition by Caradon as a club. By Sunday they had 3 crews still in the running at the semi finals stage.

Yes, Mounts Bay, Falmouth, Par, Fowey and Looe shone at different times during the final race but it was clear from early on Saturday that the Caradon A crew was something special. A beautifully crisp and accurate catch from all rowers setting up every stroke time and time again. The time, dedication and talent it takes to achieve this is inspiring to the whole sport.

Congratulations to all.

(Unusually, with a tied time for the sixth place in the final, it was decided to have a seven boat final.)

School Link/Junior Rowing

Rhiannon has set up some junior indoor rowing sessions in conjunction with Saltash School. This is currently taking place at Saltash School on a Friday afternoon from 3 p.m. Any volunteers to help out on these afternoons would be much appreciated - please liase with Rhiannon. She is also going to coordinate some on the water rowing sessions which will take place on either a Saturday or Sunday afternoon throughout the winter.

Finally we would like to thank Seasalt Cornwall for supporting us in the World Pilot Gig Championships in the Isles of Scilly. Seasalt Cornwall is the first fashion brand in the UK to have organic clothing certified to Soil Association standards.
