I enjoyed a lovely weekend at Inverness for their Head Races; glorious weather, huge entries, good organisation with an effective new pre-start procedure and (biggest shock of all !) results were on-line about 30minutes after the end of each division. Well done to the lads & lasses in red & green.

A few adventurous Scots made the journey to Australia to compete in the World Rowing Masters Regatta at Lake Wendouree, Ballarat, the venue of the 1956 Olympic Games Rowing Regatta. Fortunately, the Australians had re-filled the Lake with water in time for the start of the regatta, having been dry for several years previous. The Regatta was held from the 9th to the 12th of October.
