Today is the traditional Saturday when Putney Town Regatta would be held. Putney Town Regatta has a long history as an event, however, in the past few years, the regatta has not been held. The Regatta Committee are working hard to make sure that next year's regatta takes place.

If you’re reading this, I hope your Club will help support Putney Town Regatta in 2026. What we do need now are some volunteers who would be prepared to help get the regatta ready for next year and help on the day to make sure the regatta is a success.

The highest honour we can award is the Medal of Honour. This year, it has been awarded to former GB international and doyenne of Thames RC, Pauline Rayner MBE. You can read our tribute to Pauline here: https://t.co/pT7b8qrtUE Our thoughts remain with Pauline's loved ones.

We join with the rowing community in sadness at the news of Pauline's passing but also with thanks and celebration of her life. She was the President of Putney Town Regatta and a long-standing member of the organising committee - RIP Pauline x

Sad news that @PutneyTownReg is not able to go ahead in 2023. Here’s hoping it can find the support it needs to return. Rowing needs a variety of regattas to meet the needs of all rowers; traditional river regattas are an important part of our sport. @BritishRowing #rowing

That first situation has persisted into 2023, and despite some offers of help we have not been able to achieve critical mass in time to enable us to go ahead. 3/4

The background is that over the period of Covid we lost a number of sources of help, both long-term and & "on the day". Additionally, in 2022 when things were back to almost-normal, we were unable to source sufficient Umpires to run safely. 2/4

Today is #VolunteerRecognitionDay Thank you to everyone who gives up their time to make our sport what it is - coaches, committee members, race organisers, umpires, those pulling pints in club bars, making sandwiches for food tables or fixing boats #rowing

The Uber Boat jetty proposed by Fulham Football Club will severely impact rowing on the Tideway if it is given the go-ahead, affecting not just the Tideway clubs but the thousands who come to race here every year. You can sign a petition against it here:
