The traditional start of the rowing season commences on Sunday March 22nd with the Blessing of the Boats at 11.45 a.m. We will be welcoming the newly appointed Rector of St Faiths, Canon Tom Kennar, to conduct the Ceremony.
The Cutters are to meet at 10.30 to ready and prepare the boats.
The tide is expected to be unusually high at the weekend when the moon will be at its closest to Earth for the last 18 years. We will need to be mindful of the tidal water overflowing the footpath. In addition, the boats will need to have all their fenders out to prevent any damage. Let us hope the weather will be kind to us again.
