I probably shouldn't have done this because of the vast energy use by AI, but please note this excellent example of tied-up long hair (for safety in case of capsize and bow number visibility). And water bottle and wellies.

Also, if you're doing a No. 2, please pump the handle once before you start to 'prime the pan' so everything slips away into tank. Thank you.

It's going to be HOT on Saturday (woohoo) so please make sure that you stay hydrated and take enough water with you in the boat. Our 'artist' may be channeling Picasso here...

151 entries received - I can fit in about 160. If TDR is on your racing scheduled for Saturday, 17 May 2025, the next 24 hours would be a good time to enter!

Our Treasurer will be retiring after the 2025 regatta so we're looking for his successor. Please do get in touch via info@thamesdittonregatta.co.uk if you're local, numerate and interested! P.S. He assures us it's not complicated, and we're a fun bunch.
