Championships in WJ14 2x – a tremendous result; I would also like a mention and well done to other
J14’s – Cassie Bird has sculled brilliantly through the year and Will Gladstone has demolished his
local J14 sculling opposition so much so that he has been racing up an age group.
Services to the Club: Alex Beckett, Edward Lewry, Franklin Hamilton, Harry Stirling for giving a lot of
their time to coaching the 2011 / 2012 J13 group and taking the fund raising initiative for the 4xproject;
there should be a mention of Josh Danks-Smith for his tremendous musical work not to
mention is devotion to his sculling technique and the results it has produced.

Henley winning crew
Gutsy determination was certainly on the cards for Stratford men this weekend as they stormed their way to success at Henley Town and Visitors regatta.
Whilst all eyes were focussed on the Olympic opening events Stratford’s senior men proved they could show just as much commitment to win their coxed four event.
Henley is well known as rowing Mecca and so the crew knew they would be up against some stiff opposition when they realised they had to race a higher division than normal.
The 3-abreast side-by-side racing uses part of the Henley Royal Regatta course and to begin with Stratford was at a disadvantage as the crew of Peter Molson (bow), Ben Twiney (two), Simon Picken (three), Ben Gittus-Smith (stroke) and Jenny Kneeland (cox) found themselves in the middle of a fast on-coming stream.
Stratford had a solid start and pushed past Oxford Academicals within the first 10 strokes. Wolfson College Oxford saw this as an opportunity to push against Stratford and attempted to match Stratford’s call, Stratford responded and emptied the tank striding past Wolfson at rate 35 and continued in this vain to the finish line and first place.
Being the highest category coxed boat (IM 2) the Stratford crew were presented their pots by Henley-on-Thames Mayoress Elizabeth Hodgkin. The crew was also presented with the Henley Town Trophy and is the first British crew in three years to have won.
