Carrow Cup


This Saturday saw another good DRC turnout and fancy dress parade for the Carrow Cup in Norwich. As promised by the organisers, the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, but that certainly didn't stop anyone from racing hard.

In Division 1 we entered two women's novice doubles (Jane & I and Clare and Emma) and Raedwald also took to the water with John coxing Simon N., Simon H., Tim and David.

Division 2 saw Tim & Simon H. downsizing to a Vet C double, while Santa and his Little Helper represented the club in the Vet F category, and Jane & Malcolm teamed up for a mixed novice double.

Particular congratulations go to:

Clare - for taking part in her first ever sculling race in the middle of December, whilst also wearing a Santa hat.


Simon N. & Tim - for winning the Vet C 2x category. (Although who knows what would have happened if Simon H. and David had been able to race as well?!)

Jane & Malcolm - for winning the Mixed Novice 2x category, despite not having rowed together before. (This also makes it a victory three years running for Jane...and each one with a different man - no wonder she felt the need to jump into the river to cool down afterwards!!)


John & Terry - for their Santa & Little Helper festive fancy dress.
