8th GW Smith Trophy Race, Thursday August 22nd
Image by Tom Jones The forecast for this race was poor, grey skies and potentially strong winds, possibly a factor in a lower turnout than of late.

OOD for the night, Charlie Morgan set us a dogleg with an upstream

6th GW Smith Trophy Race, Thursday August 8th
Image by Ilker Sener No lightning this week, but with forecasts of gusts up to 31mph, was this going to be a second cancellation? Thankfully the wind on the river did not live up to the forecasts and provided a very nice although flukey west south-westerly, for which OOD Mike Adams set a dogleg to make sure we were all awake after the day's work. The turnout was good with
