Goodwill Regatta Rocks!

Five clubs, dozens of rowers, 37 races, sunshine and good water - priceless!

Thanks to everyone who turned out for this year's PRC Goodwill Regatta.  Definitely a case of the more the merrier.  The club had a chance to try its new boats on the water and put the new committee through their paces.

For a change the weather played fair and we managed to run through the whole programme as scheduled.
