Four crews all rowed once each up and down the river to complete the distance in a time of 2 hours 8 minutes and 35 seconds. The winner of the £25 Guess the Time competition was Mr David Williams from Tremain with a time of 2 hours 10 minutes. Congratulations to Mr Williams and thank you to everyone who took part.

The club would also like to say a special thank you to Stewart Forsyth & Helen Young for providing the support boat for the event.
