Northwich Autumn Head Report (14-Nov-10)



Crews Racing Under Hartford Bridge

We were concerned during the week what the weather conditions were going to be but in the end although cold it stayed dry and the water conditions were perfect for a good days racing.  A total of 267 Boats in total raced over 2350 meters in three divisions.  Time was tight at the end of the day with the third division just finishing racing in the fading light.  At 11 O'Clock we had a 2 Minute silence to respect the Remembarance Day.

This event was an excellent fund raiser for the club which would not have been possible to run without all the kind people who volunteered to help, THANKS to everyone involved in running the event.
