Roaring success at the 2013 City of Exeter regatta

Last Saturday (13 July) saw over 600 competitors converge on Exeter Quay for the annual City of Exeter rowing regatta. With over 150 events, the regatta ran from 10:30am to 6:30pm and was the biggest event for ten years. The day saw large crowds enjoying the Mediterranean weather and cheering on the competitors.

Paul Wilson Exeter Regatta Chairman said: "This year there were even more junior rowers and scullers, competing in some hotly contested races. Ensuring great competition for rowers as young as 12 means there continues to be a huge pool of talent reaching towards the national squads.

"Exeter rowing club won the Victor Ludorum cup, as the most successful club on the day; and the points for the championship races will go towards the West of England Rowing Association Championship.

"We are now looking forward to 2014 which will be a special event celebrating the 150th anniversary of Exeter Rowing Club and the regatta."
