This is a thank you to all of you in the club who worked to make Sunday such a big success and to all of those who came and cheered our oarsmen home. Around 500 people attended and what a cheer at the end!
Thanks to the cake-makers, the banner hangers, the bar staff, the guest minders, the posie makers, the bunting drapers, the caterers, the club vacuumers, those who contributed to the costs, the bay sweepers, the forecourt washers, the PR gurus, Elmbridge Council, the Mayor, Sir Clive, the moorers, the junior oar clappers, the procession organisers, the commentators, the speech-makers, the welcomers, anyone left out from this list and finally our successful athletes especially Captain Hodge.






Members and their Guests are requested to come to the club to welcome back ”our boys”. A huge party with food, two bars and many guests and VIPs will be at the club for this celebration. The athletes will arrive by boat whatever the weather around 2.00pm and everyone will be asked to congregate on the bank to welcome them back with the Molesey Roar (audience participation conducted by Dick Knight).
Tom James and I are in the group A of races. To split the racing and spread it out through the week, the whole program is split into two sections, which race every other day.
