As some of you may know, the Junior World Rowing Championships have started just down the road from the club at the Dorney Rowing Lake. This year two of our members have done well enough to be selected to represent the Great Britain team and have reached their respective A/B semi-finals; they are Jack Beaumont, who was selected to row in Quadruple Sculls, and Tom Jost who was selected to coach the Junior Mens Double Sculls.

A provisional draw for the event is available here - Draw

All race times are subject to change but both boats with a Maidenhead interest raced a Heat on Thursday, a Repachage or Quarter Final on Friday, a Semi Final on Saturday, before racing in a Final on Sunday.

Both crews with a Maidenhead RC interest have managed to get through to their respective A/B semi finals. The JM4x containing our very own Jack Beaumont managed to win their heat on Wednesday against some tough competition including a very good German crew. That result got them straight into Saturday's A/B semi where the top three go through to the A final on Sunday.

If you are thinking of heading down entry is free unless you want to go into the enclosure in which case tickets cost £15 and car parking is £10, which is a small price to pay to see our club members represent GB at such a high level.

A massive well done to James Hanson who came 5th out of 30 in U23 Singles at the British Rowing Championships. To give you an idea of how impressive that is the winner of U23 Singles was 13 Seconds faster than the Open Singles Winner. Lad!

The Maidenhead Rowing Club Regatta 2011 will be held on Saturday 13th August. This is a highlight of the Club's rowing calendar and attracts more than 500 spectators and over 25 competing rowing clubs. Be a part of this year's event by sponsoring a race, a section or the event.

Several of the Club’s senior women braved high winds to race at Henley Masters last weekend, and showed the strength of the womens group at the club. Hayley Peters and Prue Crabtree won their novice pots at Reading a couple of weeks ago, but unfortunately met very strong opposition from Tideway Scullers in WA2x and were not able to repeat their success. Julie Deacon battled through a heat and semi in very tough conditions on Friday to reach the final of WD1x, but lost out to a very strong American sculler, who has won this event for the last two years.

Congratulations to the Women's Novice 8+ who having won their heat against Putney Town at Twickenham Regatta on Saturday, went on to win in the final against Twickenham RC. This a great achievement for this crew who have worked hard to achieve their first rowing point.

The conditions were very tough, strong head winds and the Maidenhead boys and girls crews competed well.

Best performance for the day came from Jack Beaumont who raced through heats and came 3rd in the finals to take home a Bronze medal. This shows how tough the competition is at National Schools. 30 scullers competed in this event.

Next best result for the club came from Hanna Woffinden, Charlie Higgs, Maddie Dobson, Kate Crisford who were joined by Ella Campbell to race at WJ15 level. These girls battled through the heats to make the final. In the final they raced well and finished in a credible 5th position considering 3 of the crew are only WJ14. 26 crews entered this event.

Well done to Hanna Woffinden (str), Charlie Higgs (3), Maddie Dobson (2), Caitlin Wiltshire (bow) and cox Kate Crisford who won a well deserved SILVER medal today at the Schools National Championships.

32 crews entered this event including all the top rowing schools across the country. In the morning all 32 crews had to race over the course in a head format to allow the fastest 18 crews to proceed through to three semi-finals.

The Junior Regatta 2011 was a great success. The atmosphere on the day was truly electric. Follow the link for more photos of a memorable day.
