Changes at Henley

A press release from the Henley Stewards reads: “The Stewards have decided to introduce an event for Junior Women’s Quadruple Sculls at the 2012 Regatta. The event will be offered for eight quads racing in the Regatta and there will be Qualifying Races.” Read the whole press release here. At a December meeting, the Henley Stewards also decided “that rowers competing in The Thames and in The Wyfold Challenge Cups may only race in one event at the same Regatta i.e. the practice of rowers doubling up will no longer be allowed.” This change will go into effect at the next regatta in 2010.
