Rather like its golf equivalent known correctly as "The Open" rather than "The British Open", the event provincial clubs tend to refer to as "The Tideway Head" is strictly speaking called "The Head of the River Race". It was pleasing to see a senior Tees crew taking part for the first time in a number of years - perhaps next year two such crews will make the trip....
This event for men's, women's and mixed veteran eights is run by Vesta Rowing Club on the day after The Tideway Head. Whilst the Saturday event is raced from Mortlake to Putney the vets tend, because of tidal timings, to go from Putney to Mortlake. This year two Tees men's crews took part.
The pictures even "H**l*" could not poach....! Another excellent turnout for our Annual Dinner at The River Tees Watersports Centre. Thanks to all who worked so hard to make it a success.
A very successful Junior Coaching Day was held at The River Tees Watersports Centre led by Loretta -herewith a few photos.
Another resounding success - lots of entries, races and good weather. My thanks to all those members who supplied the photos.
The organisation....
No regatta could run without a vast army of dedicated volunteers whose serious and single minded application to their tasks is an example to us all.....here are a few of our regatta officials....
