Goring and Streatley Regatta

The highlight of the Goring Gap Boat Club's year is our summer regatta.

Planning for this year's regatta has been underway from the moment that the last team crossed the finish line last July. We always try and take on board the lessons from previous years, to make each event better.

It's not too early to think about the regatta - why not contact one of our members to find out how to help out running the event, or to ask for details on exhibiting. Or start your intensive training now to get that Dongola across the line in record time?

Racing

The Goring & Streatley Regatta's aim is to get as many crews onto the water who want to compete and there are three different classes so that complete beginners through to reasonably competent rowers can all compete on a fair basis over a short course, of 300 metres or 500 metres. Crews can enter on their own account, or represent pubs and workplaces. This isn't an ARA event and we welcome novice rowers and people who have never rowed before. Please note - ARA points holders (anyone above novice status) cannot enter the regatta except as part of a 8+ challenge crew.

 

Events include coxed fours, single sculls, dongolas, dinghies and canoes. There are races for men, women and mixed crews, and events for juniors and children.

For the more experience rowers we have a number of invitation challenge races in coxed eights.....to hopefully show how it should be done! Clubs are welcome to contact us to find out more.

Entertainment

The Regatta is a great family day out  Not only is it a premier rowing competition but it also offers a traditional mix of family events, including a funfair, craft tent, a range of stalls, places to eat,  and of course a beer tent and lots of Live Music (the line up will be published soon....).

 

The 2009 regatta has some great attractions. When the excitement of the rowing becomes too intense why not relax by taking the kids (a good excuse for having a go yourself) to some of the best entertainment around. Here are just a few of the attractions.....

 

The Giant Slide......it's huge! A massive inflatable slide - clamber up the cargo netting, take in the view at the top, and then slide at great speed to the bottom. It's going to be a star attraction.....just £1 for limitless fun!
 

 

The Goring & Streatley regatta is steeped in history and tradition. It may be old fashioned but Punch and Judy is simply the best entertainment for kids around. With shows throughout the day be sure to note down the times.... failure to do so could cause great disappointment!

Live Music from Goring unplugged is always a popular  attraction....... may be the close vicinity to the bar has something to do with it!
 



As usual there will be a parade of classic cars for the Dads to ponder over......

Fun Fair - ever popular it will be back again this year. Lots of classic rides and amusements.

Don't forget the arena events. We have a really impressive display this year. Racing Ferrets - a sight not to be missed, and Dog Agility - that's dogs running extremely fast around a course of obstacles .....well that's the idea but things don't always go to plan!

There will also be a Birds of Prey display....so those ferrets just better watch out!

Lots for all the family..... plus lots of rowing of course!
