A wonderful day at Henley Royal Regatta on, Thursday 4th July, with a number of other members of Staines Boat Club
You may notice that I am not wearing Staines Green, I am wearing the original colours for Wycliffe College, the school where I learned to row.

A lovely day out with loads of great racing. Fortunately the weather held for us that day, even though it was a bit windy.
The heavens well and truly opened on the Friday and the Remenham Club lawn was under 2-3 inches of water!
