the south compete

pleased that we could put on such an amazing event for all the teams and have been supported by clubs across the south.

“It has been an amazing day with so many different clubs able to win individual races – no one team has dominated today to show how close and strong we are across the region.”

Marcus Dixon, chair of the club and part of the commentary team, said: ”I'd like to thank everyone who took part in planning, managing, catering and hospitality, safety boats, laying of the course, race control, commentary, merchandising and so much more – all working so hard to make yesterday such a success. And on such a hot day.

“Feedback from clubs attending has been very positive, we had well fought and competitive races all admirably umpired by Allard from Weymouth. The strength of our results, the commitment to training and putting on this event shows that we are a club open to all, we are committed to rowing for all.”
