Peter writes:<\/strong> After last Saturday’s Youth Regatta, with the wonderful Club involvement and magnificent effort, I am asking for your help again! Some of you have already come forward- what is needed is two crews to get the skiffs to Hawes Pier and bring them home after the event, assistance in getting crews on and off the water, and help at the start line. Alistair did a magnificent job last year, but whoever does it can always use a bit of help with times etc. Nothing too fancy as there are just two boats in each heat.<\/p>\n

Volunteers help the racers launch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The first race is at 1300hrs so it would be good to be getting skiffs ready and down to Hawes around from about 1200hrs. I hope we will be finished around 1600hrs or sooner. Social rowing will of course take place in the morning and I wait to see what plans are made for that. A low tide around 0900hrs will mean a later start unless arrangements have been made for pontoons. This is as always a fun event, so let me know if you can assist.<\/p>\n
