 | Surprisingly warm weather for the Bedford Hasler, and a surprisingly good result for BSCC - our best of the season so far. Karen & Christine won gold medals after battling hard throughout the Div 7 doubles race against a Cambridge crew. Karen & Christine have both been promoted to Div 6! David G also had to fight for his Div 3 gold in a photo finish. |
| There was a good crop of silver medals. Joe & Eddie were second in Div 3 doubles; as was Joao in Div 4, despite having to stop and fix a malfunctioning rudder. Oleh came second with apparent ease in Div 5, in his first ever marathon, and has been promoted to Div 4. Shehan paired up with Oliver to deliver some valuable points in Div 9 doubles, and yet more silver medals. |  |
 | Bronzes were won by Rich (Div 2), Robert (Div 7), Kerry & Jamie (Div 6), and Jacque & Dave (Div 7)  Especially well done to our two competitors in Div 9. Zoe (6th) and James (8th) both had their points boosted by the first four finishers getting double promotions, and thus not scoring. Zoe has been promoted to Div 8, and James can be very proud of his performance in his first competition for the club. |
