Revival Regatta at Dorney Lake - Saturday 16 September 2023
Calling all OVS rowers! If you fancy taking on alumni teams from other rowing schools including the mighty Eton, St Pauls, Hampton and Radley, please get in touch. Anyone who has rowed for the College (boys and girls) are invited to take part.
Eton will host the regatta at the Olympic Dorney Lake on Saturday September 16th 2023. Arrival at 2.00pm for a 2.30pm briefing and OTW 2.45pm. It’s a very informal scoring system that means that anyone can win up until the last race (a sprint over 250M).
The OV’s will be provided with a T shirt which you can keep as a momento after the event and a sumptuous afternoon tea (families are welcome too) in the Dorney Boathouse will be provided afterwards.
