Great River Race 21st Sept 2024 - room for a few more!!

[Rachel]

Hi all,

The Great River Race is on Saturday 24th September 2024 starting from London Docklands and rowing up to Ham House a distance of 21.6 miles (with the tide).  You can enter either just for the challenge and satisfaction of taking part, or to be competitive and try to come back with silverware. This is a really great day out and if you are worried about rowing the distance, remember that we change round as we row so you row for 40 minutes, then have a break for 20 minutes.   If you are currently able to row to Verner and back, and change seats in the boat in choppy conditions, then you would be able row in the GRR as there are 5 months to practice and by end August you will be confidently rowing to HISC or Ferryboat and back. Each crew will require three competent coxes.

I am posting this early because registration opens on 1st April and the number of entries is limited this year so if you would like to take part please reply to this post. The adult entry fee will be approx £100 ( £75 GRR entry plus  PIN money and contribution towards the costs of towing the boats to/from London and congestion charges and cranage/towing of two boats!). Payment is not needed yet.  Nearer the time we will be organising coach transport to London for the race which will cost approx £35 per person. The committee will do their best to try to accommodate everyone and will inform members of the proposed teams before finalising entries.
