Netley Regatta is a fun day on a beautiful site on Southampton Water with some worthwhile raciing. We have several trophies to defend.
Steve and I will each tow a galley to the event. One galley will be crewed by a Barbarians squad comprising:
Steve Woods
Phil Polwin
Steve Rooke
Chris Partridge
Coxswain: Julia Rooke.
Rachel is looking at putting together a womens crew for the Ladies Race.
Registration starts at 09.45 so we need to meet at 08.00 to get the boats ready for a prompt 09.00 start. There is no indication on the regatta website as to when the event is likely to finish but I imagine we will be back early in the afternoon.
Interested? Post here!
Hi all,
I am not sure exactly what the available races are and there are no details on the website but everyone is welcome and we will do our best to make sure no-one misses out on a row. It was fun last year and I bet it's even better if the sun shines!
List so far seems to be :-
Chris P
Steve W
Steve R
Julia R
Phil P
Dee
Jane D
Lesley
Teri
Matt
Polly
Martin S
Shanaz
Rachel
Since there are eight ladies signed up and two boats we could have two crews in the ladies race with a couple of the men coxing :-).
