WS 2015-16 Race 1: Cambridge results

26/10/2015

 
Lovely autumn weather for the opening race of the season at Cambridge turned out to be a mixed blessing as it left the competitors dodging punts all the way through the backs.

This popular race was well-supported with 133 competitors. There were particularly large fields and a high standard amongst the long-distance K1 and K2 races, which were hotly contested.
Class 2 starts
An earlier than usual race start, coupled with slick and efficient operation by Donna and her organising team at Cambridge made it possible to have an excellent days racing and finish the prize-giving with time to spare.  Race results can be found on the WS Results page.
The next race will be taking place at B. Stortford on 15th November.

Winter Series T-shirts

24/10/2015

One of the popular features of the Winter Series used to be the T-shirts. Those of you who love a T-shirt will be glad to know that these are now back!
We will be taking orders at the Cambridge race, and shirts ordered there will be ready for collection at the next race (B. Stortford, 15th November). Please bring your cash/cheques to the race, as all shirts must be paid for at the time of ordering.
All profits go back to the racing clubs who organise the Winter Series.
We will have a few T-shirts (adult sizes) at Cambridge and some lucky people will be able to buy those on the day.

(Although there is overlap between the chest sizes for adult and junior sizes, they differ in the body length.)

Winter Series 2015/16

18/10/2015

 
The Winter Series is starting slightly earlier than usual this year, and at a different venue! The first race will be at Cambridge on Sunday 25th October. Booking in for this race will be open from 9:00-10:15 for an 11:00am race start - but please remember that this is the day that the clocks change to GMT. There will be a running race taking place in Cambridge - see the race page for advice.

Paddlers, please find out from your club who your Team Leader is and let them know in advance that you intend to race. Team Leaders, please register with the FRA Secretary as soon as possible using the
Team Leader Registration Form.

A poster showing all the dates and the race classes can be downloaded here:
WS Poster 2015. The seat fee remains £5 per person.

The classes and rules are largely the same as last year (see them on the Winter Series page), but the notable changes for 2015/16 are:
  • Class 5 (K2 F 16+) has been discontinued due to low participation. The former ladies K2 trophy will be awarded to the fastest all-female or mixed crew in Class 1 (K2 16+)
  • Each club must register a named Team Leader prior to their race entries being accepted.
  • Competitors may enter as "Independent", but see the Race Rules for conditions. If this is not clear, please contact the FRA Secretary in advance for clarification.
  • Race numbers must be displayed on both sides of the boat/number board (two sticky labels will be issued per boat). Yellow boards are welcome and no black tape is required.

Summer Series Finale 2015

15/10/2015

 
There was a good turnout of 59 entries for the Sprint Regatta at Stortford, and the day stayed fine and dry. After the usual 500m and 200m heats there were some 500m and 2000m K2 races.
Picture
It was particularly pleasing to see that so many people stayed for the prizegiving. Stortford Mayor Daniel Abbott was unfortunately called into work at the last minute and was only able to stop by the event briefly, but Deputy Mayor Councillor Colin Woodward gamely stepped into the breach and presented the awards.

See the results from the Stortford regatta and also the 2015 Summer Series class trophy results.
