We had to unfortunately postpone our training away

We had to unfortunately postpone our training away day at @bewl_bridge_rowing due to the winds forecast for later in the day, but that didn't stop us - we had six crews out on the water this morning, supported by a coaching launch. Well done everyone, and it is definitely more pleasant to be out in this lovely weather 🙂

New boat day is a good day! One more addition to the Spitfire fleet, a lovely coxless quad that will allow more of us to go out during our morning sessions. We look forward to getting it out on the water soon 😉.
