Pudding Races, 2009

Happy New Year!


If you had won two Henley medals, what would there be left to win? World Cup Olympic Gold in the single sculls (could do that in one leg), Commonwealth? No! What you would really, really want is the coveted DRC Plum Pudding.


And thus our newest member, Stephen Fowler, girded the proverbial loins on the coldest Deben day for quite some time. Ably assisted by John 'I'm-just-surfing-in-the-bow-seat' Churcher, the noble pair romped to victory.

Conditions were tricky (when are they not on our beloved river?!), but a good time was had by all and we adjourned to the DRC 'bar'...

This year's project is to replace the crumbling edifice with a purpose-built clubhouse which will be fit for purpose.

Happy New Year to All!

Tim Earnshaw
(DRC Chairman)
