Strong winds and squalls of rain on Saturday made for challenging racing conditions, especially on the 500m straight.  Some of our visitors, who were more used to training on canals, complained that the rough water was the cause of them losing their races, shame!

Drama on the river on Saturday when were approached by the police and asked to look out for a vulnerable adult who they were seeking and who had a fascination for water and bridges.  Congratulations to Emma Fisher who, whilst umpiring at the top of the wall, spotted the missing man in the water.  She persuaded him to come out onto dry land until police and ambulance arrived - will Emma now take on the role of the George Parsonage of the Dee?

Benign condition on Sunday but more police involvement for poor Emma when a hit-and-run driver took off the wing mirror of her car as she was umpiring at the start - life is never boring as a SR umpire!
