We had several entries entered at Thames Valley Trial Head, held over 1900m at Dorney Lake yesterday. Despite the bitter cold, we achieved some excellent results:
WJ17 2x - 1 of 9 (7:58)
Abi Musk & Heather Jones
WJ15 1x - 20 of 24 (9:50)
Shannon Horan
WJ14 2x - 11 of 17 (9:02)
Molly Lock & Lucy Constant
WJ13 4x+ - 2 of 10 (8:43)
Georgia Conner, Christina Cackett, Maddie Shoolbred, Emily Tench and Cox Abigail Mason
The double of Abi and Heather was the second fastest (of 34 crews) double of the whole day, including senior women, and only four seconds away from being the fastest overall! Well done all!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!
River flows are increasing again after all the snow and so just a reminder to check the river conditions on the website if you are planning on going out. We are currently on Yellow Boards (Stream Increasing) and so you must seek permission from a committee member or coach before you venture out.
If in doubt, don't go out!
