The end of the season has arrived for the skiffers and punters, while the winter season is about to begin for the dragon boaters with the monthly Henley Winter Series events starting in November. The results for the season have largely been announced. Punting – there is the usual mystery over the Morris Trophy for the […]
Saturday 27 July – Chertsey & Shepperton There were 12 races at Chertsey & Shepperton Regatta and DT was in 5 of them; Dave Taylor entered the Singles and the Doubles Handicap with Chris Thornton and Chris also did his Novice Singles. We reached the finals of all 3 events, with Chris winning his Novice […]
Sunday and Thursday sessions for juniors have continued to be well supported with much appreciation to Emily and Simon Viotta and Michelle Oke for helping to coach, organising the kids on and off the water and helping with all the boat handling. We’ve suffered from having no opposition to race against in the J16 & […]
Another Town regatta that was not overly busy… only 36 races to fill the whole day on Saturday 17th August, so there was lunch and tea to spin it out. We did have entries, but unfortunately some scratched on the day. Paddy O’Neill and Will Oke coxed by Mike O’Neill won the J14 Doubles and new […]
Royal Albert Dock on 11th August presented us with the dilemma of not having enough for 2 boats and having too many for 1 boat, so volunteers were sought to step down for the day as it is impractical and unfair to rotate too many people. The intention was to go with 24, but with illness, […]
We only had a small entry for Sunbury Regatta on Saturday 10 August 2013, but all our entries won with Siobhan Moody winning Ladies Novice Singles, Siobhan and Mike O’Neill coxed by Paddy O’Neill winning Junior Mixed and Paddy O’Neill and Mimi McDougal coxed by Mike O’Neill winning the J14 Doubles. Rowan, Paddy, Siobhan, Liam, […]
Another good day at the Club organised by Bob and Pam Silvey on Saturday 3rd August; we are grateful to everyone who helped with the regatta to make it the success it was. The morning was taken up with the skiffing and punting, and the afternoon with the Rockin Robin Races and the children’s and family […]
The World Championships took place in Szeged in Hungary, which is a few hours outside Budapest on a purpose built course for rowing/canoeing. You never quite know how it is going to go after all the training as it is still really a purely amateur sport so you don’t know the quality of the crews […]
Held on Saturday 27 July, there were a few notable things about Chertsey this year. Many races seemed to be a procession, which is surprising on such a short 1 ½ minute course, and the race of the day, Paddy O’Neil and Will Oke in the J14 Doubles which resulted in a dead heat and they […]
Saturday 20 July marked the 125th HC&D Regatta, so there was a band, a cake, some races in the replicas of the original boat race boats, lunch and tea breaks. There were not very many entries, but a valiant attempt to stretch it out to a full day! Paddy O’Neill, Lewis Spurling & Liam Moody all entered […]
