2008 Burton Head
BURTON HEAD 2008
An excellent day for both Burton Rowing Clubs working together both on and off the water.
An entry of 67 was received across the two divisions and, although a little smaller than hoped for, this ensured an excellent display of rowing on the water. Both Burton Clubs collected several medals for their efforts on the water.
It was good to welcome old friends, for example Margaret Marshall, a stalwart rowing supporter and volunteer both on the provincial and national rowing scene helped out with registration through the day. It was also great to see so many volunteers helping out with all aspects of the event, from boat checkers to monitors, to people on the safety launches and the all important catering team. And not forgetting of course, the invaluable help given by the volunteer umpires without whom any regatta or head would be impossible to hold.

As ever, our Captain is keen to emphasis safety at all times, making sure that he sets an example, be seen, be safe!
