Dear
Huge congratulations to our athletes who travelled to the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston, USA. Oliver Costley and Rory Harris secured an outstanding victory in the Championship Double. A special shout-out must go to Leander's Bryn Ellery for a third-place finish, representing his old school, Windsor Boys. You'll find the M8+ cox's perspective on the race, below.
The HOCR drinks reception for US-based Leander Members was well attended. It's always heartening to witness the camaraderie amongst our global community.
As we gear up for the festive season, our calendar sparkles with exciting events including Curry Night on 30th November - gather a group and enjoy a perfect winter's evening of spicy curries and beers.
