Thank you to everyone who attended the SA Champs regatta over the past three days. This was definitely the best attended regatta I have seen both in terms of support and participants. We were rewarded with some awesome racing from our crews, and I truly think our rowers have restored the pride in Bishop Bavin rowing.
Our sincere thanks also go to the members of staff at the school who took the time out of their weekends to come and support the rowers.
Unfortunately I don't have exact tallies on races entered, and our participation in finals as yet, but I will try and get these for our records. So apologies in advance that this post only covers medal winners.
To put our performance in context, please remember that we won a single bronze medal at last year's championships:

Look, up in the sky ! Is it a bird ? No ! - Is it a plane ? No ! Then what the heck are they looking at ?
Conditions on the dam were far from ideal as this pic shows. A lot of work will be required to clear the course of Hyacinth and relay the lanes before SA Champs.
Once again, Tom's fashion sense shines through !
