Nick Lyne after being a regular participant, often coming second or third in the Regatta, has this year with his granddaughter Sarah become a worthy champion. After seeing off the winner of the last two years, Frank McCarthy, Nick not in the best of health showed 'the young uns' how it's done. What must he have been like in his prime? Thanks also for all the work Nick does in organising, getting the canoes on and off the water, putting out markers and often manning the rescue boat between his races.
The children's competition was won by Nerys with her grandfather Martin Feeney, well done to both.
A record number of entrants made it all rather complicated to organise, with 5 heats and two semi-finals, races not helped by people disappearing when their names were called for their race.
All that said a great day out was had and a splash of rain at the end did not dampen spirits nor the picnic.
