An unforgettable three days at Dorney Lake!

Thank you for making the National Schools’ Regatta a success!


I want to thank everyone involved with making the 77th NSR the biggest and the most exciting on and off the water!

 

Each day brought racing drama and excitement as crews delivered superb performances in time trials and side by side races. I would like to thank every coach and parent behind the crews, after a difficult winter, with so much time off the water; the crews were very well prepared to manage in difficult conditions.

 

Close finishes came thick and fast on all three days, and we were delighted to see 61 different clubs and schools winning medals.

 

Trying to win is important, it is what makes competition fun, but I also want to commend every single competitor for their performances.  To those who were here for the first time, to those for whom this was their last NSR:  thank you for bringing the best version of yourself to the regatta - keep rowing and enjoying the excitement of competition.

 

Thank you for making this year's junior regatta the biggest and best yet!

 

Mike Martin,

Chairman of the National Schools’ Regatta

University Prize Givers - thank you!


We would like to thank all the University Boat Clubs who came to all three days of National Schools’ Regatta.

We know how important it is for junior rowers to combine further study alongside sport.  Speaking to current members of university boat clubs supports the transition from school to university rowing and academia.

 

Thank you to Bristol University BC, Surrey University BC, Reading University BC and Nottingham University BC (pictured left) for assisting with Prize Giving.
