Following a carefully executed programme of Stretham-based training, Robs Womens and Mens Squads have been working towards peak performance for this weekend’s Henley Masters Regatta.

‘We had a particularly glorious morning out at Streatham on Sunday, and the Masters VIII have never looked so good.,’ commented Stefan Butlin following last weekend’s training.
Fine weather is forecast for Henley-on-Thames this weekend, with a predicted 6 mph wind from the NW on both days, Henley Masters Regatta has been held on the week following Henley Royal Regatta since 1994. The Regatta, hosted by Upper Thames RC (who are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year) takes place on a 1000 metre upstream course between Temple Island and Upper Thames Rowing Club on the same reach as the world famous Henley Royal Regatta.
