On Sunday 21 April the club travelled to the home waters of our friends at Lea RC for the first regatta of the season, racing 650 m down a notoriously narrow stretch of river near Hackney with a tricky bend. This was a first experience racing for many of our novices and they put in some excellent performances:

• LOT-Alves de Oliveira: George (cox), Fabrício, Richard, Pierre, Rodrigo

• LOT-Hinkle: Emma (cox), Wesley, Graham, Thomas W, Dawid

• LOT-Tasmin: Yena (cox), Samina, Amanda, Dani, Ghada

• LOT-Ventouras: Apo, Thomas S
