The draw is here and the timetable of racing is here

Dear Cygnets,
I hope everyone is doing well.
Last weekend Chiswick Regatta and I cannot repeat enough how nice is to race again. We had a 4+ (Beth (cox), Matt G, Cris, Martin D, Mustafa), a double (Henrik, Rupert) and a 1x (Ross) racing good solid rows. Well done everyone and huge congratulations to Ross for winning his category and bringing home a pot. Yep yep we have a pot to report (claps claps claps & standing ovations). Well done Ross! .
Also last weekend the LTR hit the water for the first time and they really enjoyed it. Thanks all volunteers. Please don't forget that one time you were there and others were sitting the boat for you.
