Thanks to Everyone who Attended Chester Regatta 2019

We hope to see you at Chester Regatta 2020 Saturday 13 June 2020

Enormous thanks to all the clubs, crews, supporters, umpires & army of volunteers who attended the 2019 Chester Regatta, and thanks for braving the weather!.
We hope you all had a fantastic day being part of the Oldest Regatta in the World.
We're thrilled that Chester Regatta 2019 was able to go ahead, one of the very few to not have to cancel on 8th June 2019. Thanks for all being so supportive and encouraging us that we made the right decision to go ahead.
It was fabulous to have such a strong field of competitors and we loved seeing the new clubs who joined us for their first Chester Regatta and we do hope you'll come back next year too.
Also massive thanks to the regular clubs who return, every year entering more and more crews.
It was also fabulous to have the Explorer Crews joining in the Regatta and we hope you'll be returning next year too.
All your support means to much to us.
Congratulations to everyone who competed, cheered, volunteered & generally made the day.
