BOURNEMOUTH REGATTA at POOLE, Saturday, 4th August, 2018.

BOURNEMOUTH REGATTA at POOLE, Saturday, 4^th August, 2018.

On behalf of the Executive Officers of the Hants & Dorset Amateur Rowing Association and all the Associations affiliated Clubs we would like to thank all of Poole Rowing Club – but in particular Pete Jacobs and Sue Sothcott – for organising and running this year’s Bournemouth Regatta at the Hamworthy Park, Poole, venue on behalf of the Bournemouth Rowing Club and the Association.  

Some of us know only two well how difficult it is to organise one regatta in a season - let alone three – if you include Swanage - where Poole make a major contribution. The Poole members involved did a great job – and ensured a full program of Hants & Dorset Championship Regattas took place.

With the thanks of the Association.

Steve Bull, Association Secretary.
