Entries for regattas must be made via the Club Captain, James Smith (james_smith @nfumutual.co.uk) by the ARA online entry system. If you and your crew are entering a regatta make sure James has your entry fees and all the details of event you are entering, crew names, ages and their ARA membership numbers at least a week in advance of the closing date for entries.
Make sure everyone has applied for or has renewed their membership of the ARA See the ARA website (http://www.ara-rowing.org/) for membership forms. You cannot race without a valid ARA membership.
I have 10 medium size Lycra all-in-ones available to purchase (£20 each) Under ARA rules all crews must race in the same Club kit.
Entrance fees for Regattas are usually £5-7 each for each event entered plus £3 or £4 each for the trailer driver.

Juniors at Worcester
9/9/07
It was a day of mixed fortunes for Pengwern juniors at Worcester on Saturday.
The boys J14 coxed quad had waited all summer to compete for the first time because of a lack of opposition in their J13 age group or because of the floods. They finally took to the water in a straight final against a much more experienced crew from Llandaff. They were well beaten but made a brave attempt urged on by their cox Rachael and a vociferous crowd of supporters on the bank. It was good experience for them and now we know what to work on for next season!
The girls fared much better in their two, well-subscribed events.
The double of 16 year olds Felicity Preece and Alice Windows, sculling as Novice women, beat crews from Llandaff and Ross by large margins before losing a hard fought final to Llandaff’s A crew.
Most successful Junior was Jess Knott who won the Women’s J16 single sculls beating two scullers from Gloucester and one from Wallingford on the way.
As usual, if there had been a cup for the loudest supporters group Pengwern would have won that hands down! Many thanks to all the Mums, Dads, (and little brother) for all their help.
