Morgan Wins Three in a Row
|
Morgan coxed the Leander eight to her third win in a row at the women’s head of the river race on the Thames on Sat 4th March.
|
 |
The women’s Eights Head of the River Race has now become the largest women’s rowing race in the world.
It is the only race in the UK where novices can compete in the same race as Olympic champions.
|
 |
Last year Ross women were there with a crew and had a great time!
|
 |
Well done to Morgan and her crew!

A Wye Tsunami?!!
|
The government website for the river level at Ross on the 28th of February registered the height of the river at 32.77 meters, 11:45hrs.
Anybody notice a wall of water that would have covered most of Ross??!!
Thank you to Ian Hale, “Ianto”, for highlighting the extraordinary event on Spond.
We hope that anyone who was rowing at 2:45 on Febuary 28th is safe and well!!
