SS 2023: B. Stortford Regatta

17/9/2023

0 Comments

 
The Stortford Regatta was again a stand-alone event in 2023, so BSCC decided to try running it as an SRC Local Sprint Regatta in the hope that this would give the event a wider reach. Members of  Chelmsford CC, Cambridge CC, Lee Valley PS and Maidstone CC attended, but the majority of the competitors were from the home club.
Picture
Although attendance was small, the programme of races was non-stop during the morning with 500m, 200m and 1000m events. In the afternoon there were optional fun relay races and the opportunity to have a go in a K4.

During the lunch break, we were delighted to be joined by reigning KL3 World Champion and Paralympic gold medallist Laura Sugar MBE, who chatted to competitors and stayed to present the medals.

Although only one FRA regatta took place this year, the attendance of 49 paddlers was in line with pre-covid numbers. All the clubs in the FRA sent teams, and it was also pleasing to see a small group  from Hemel.

The briefing was followed by a minute's silence  for the late Queen. The morning's racing comprised two 500m distances, one 1000m. and then two 200m. In the afternoon there were some singles relays for fun.
The day was also Bishops Stortford Canoe Club's celebration of 50 years since it was established. After the prizegiving, everyone was invited to share a glass of bubbly and have a slice of celebration cake.

SS 2019, Regatta 2: Chelmsford

17/5/2019

 
Picture
The second Sprint Regatta of the season took place at Chelmsford in fine dry weather.
Thanks to some inconveniently located nesting  swans, the distances for the K1 heats were curtailed to 300m and 100m, but this did have the advantage of concentrating the racing to the stretch in front of the clubhouse and making a good spectacle for those watching from the bank.
Picture
Picture
After lunch there was a demonstration K4 race between some of Chelmsford's own paddlers. The day was rounded off by a relay event between teams drawn up on the basis of the morning's results, although not itself contributing to the class awards, this event proved very popular with almost everyone staying to take part and getting caught up in the excitement.
Class winners were:
u10 girls: Libby Gaulton (BSF)
u12 girls: May Perrin (CLM)
u12 boys: John Morris (HYM)
u14 girls: Sienna Payne (CLM)

SS 2018, Regatta 4: Chelmsford

24/9/2018

 
The Chelmsford Regatta, postponed from due to the snow back in March, finally went ahead in September. But the organisers again found themselves watching the weather forecasts intently, with fierce storms predicted. In the end the event was able to go ahead, but in low temperatures and persistent heavy raid rain. This did not stop 46 determined paddlers from turning out for the event.
Due to heavy weed growth the races had to be moved to a distance from the clubhouse, adding to the difficulties faced by the marshals and spectators. By the time the K1 races were completed the younger competitors were beginning to feel the cold and it was decided to wind the event up early and let everyone get off home.
The class winners on the day were:
u10 Girls - Libby Gaulton (BSF)
u10 Boys - Cally Da Silva (HYM)
u12 Girls - Sienna Payne (CLM)
u12 Boys - Rupert Tideswell (CAM)

The medals will be presented at the Chelmsford Hasler, together with the awards for the summer series as a whole.
