How sad. Another Tideway regatta lost - after, among others, Putney Amateur, Vesta Dashes, Hammersmith Borough, Horseferry. How long before every regatta is at Dorney?

Putney Town Regatta Closes. On what would have been the traditional weekend that Putney Town Regatta would have been held - it is with great sadness we have to announce our closure, ending an event that was established in 1911.

He is wearing a helmet in the colours of London Rowing Club. Hill was a great oarsman. He stroked the LRC Grand 8 at Henley - a cool thing to do…His son, Damon wore the LRC colours on his helmet too

RACE CANCELLED. Unfortunately, weather forecasts are unanimous in predicting gale-force gusts tomorrow afternoon, making conditions unsafe to marshal or to race. With little chance of conditions improving, the committee has made the difficult decision to cancel the event.

Good news - via Putney Tideway Towpath - for rowers on the Tideway. Next week ⁦@LondonPortAuth⁩ commence a week of work by the St. Paul’s slipway to remove the “wet wipe island” which at low tide is a steering as well as an environmental hazard. ⁦@TidyTow⁩ ⁦
