03 Feb - Peterborough Head Cancelled - River Frozen

Sadly the River Nene has frozen over and will not be rowable for the clubs Head of the River race.

Club officials are looking at alternative dates to re-run the event and more news on this will follow.

01 Jan - New Years Day Race

This race for members which started in the early 1970's was held on New Years Day continuing the long tradition. Eight boats of varying sizes turned out and two eights taking part featured some guest rowers from Clare College, Cambridge.

The start is handicapped to allow the slower boats to get off first with the faster ones chasing. A classic race within the race developed between the veteran and junior quads. These two boats were the fastest on the water and finished first and second having overtaken most of the field. The young crew of James Marshall, James Plumb, Ziggi and Dan Boyle eventually crossed the line first to claim victory.
