Welcome to the second Blenheim Palace Junior Regatta.
We are of course indebted to Blenheim Palace for giving us this opportunity and for allowing us to use their spectacular grounds. Without their patience and generosity this very special event would not have been possible.
Last year’s trial event was such a success with very positive feedback from both athletes and spectators that we are delighted to announce a commitment to make the event an annual fixture. To make this happen we very much need the ongoing support of clubs to enter athletes, and families and friends to support the event. Thank you for doing so this year.
If you would like to send us any thoughts you might have about the Regatta, please contact us via email to Hinksey’s Rowing Manager, and event Chairman Amelia Wright (amelia@hinkseysculling.org.uk)
You can also find out more about the Regatta, including a short film explaining more about the event at www.hinkseysculling.org.uk
We hope you all enjoy the day in these spectacular grounds, whatever the weather and we’re sure you’ll enjoy being part of a regatta making history today.
Good luck to all the competitors.
