BGRC REGATTA – A PERFECT DAY AT WEST BAY
For some BGRC members this was their first experience of racing at a regatta; thank you for your efforts, we hope you are hooked! To be able to compete on home waters is special. Not only to row in the place we love, supported by so many other members of the club, but also to have the opportunity to explain our sport to visiting members of the public; all of whom curious to understand what was happening on the other side of the harbour wall.
