A nasty ramming took place in about the third race which resulted in hot favourites Christine Gee and Jeremy Rewse Davies being catapulted into the water. The couple never recovered to carry on and Christine lost her shoes in the fracas. [This could have resulted in a protest which the committee would have upheld , but too late now] Iga Rewse Davies once again came to the rescue diving in and swimming over to help. Two comments I heard , "she's gone to push Jeremy's head under' and another man ' If I fall in will she rescue me and give me the kiss of life'. So I think you must still have it Iga!
After the presentation of cups and gold medals which this year went well with everyone being in the right place at the right time, there was a mass dispersal for the picnic field and another 30 or so opting for fish and chips at the Moulin.[which for 10.50 euros was very good.] I am going to look at the cost of buying a megaphone for the next event as when every one is rightly enjoying themselves chatting it is hard to announce teams. Malc and I would like to give a big thank you to Nick Lyne who lifts the boats in and out with John Taylor and then puts out balloons for the course and helps us invigilate. Thank you also to Charles for putting out the rescue boat and Pat for sitting in it and getting very hot. Lastly a big thank you to you Malcolm, you did a great job of sorting out the crews for the races whilst suffering with a bad cold. I could do with a photo of the childrens race winners and one of Iga and Linda if anybody has one. mail@bromlea.com
