Maritime Woodbridge & Cambridge Autumn Regatta

This weekend (8th & 9th Sept.) is a busy one for DRC with two important events taking place:

1) Maritime Woodbridge
This is an event in the town (well, by the river to be precise) which took place for the first time last year and attracted loads of extra visitors and boats to the Deben. This year DRC have been invited to take part and on Sat 8th we will be getting as many boats out on the water as possible to escort Sae Wyfling (Sutton Hoo replica ship) down the river. As well as our normal selection of doubles, singles etc, we hope to get one of the traditional IVs out so that we can provide a water-taxi service for the mayor (I just hope that gold chain won't be so heavy it sinks the boat...). Please be at the clubhouse by 10am if you can join in the fun. Don't forget to wear club colours too as this will be a fantastic opportunity to publicise our club.

For more information about Maritime Woodbridge, click here and for more details about how to take part in the club activities on the day, contact John Churcher who is co-ordinating events.

2) Cambridge Autumn Regatta
This is the last regatta of the year and I'm delighted to be part of an impressive DRC contingent who are planning to take the Cam by storm...
Details of the draw, course and event can be found here. Even if you're not taking part, we'd love to have your support from the bank.
