ZVYC News 27 July 2017
Dear Members and Friends,
Water levels have risen enough for the rowing season to commence, and rowers took to the water on Sunday morning in perfect, glassy conditions and the youth radial group have been practicing in Stormy Bay in preparation for their regatta in Holland. A great start to the season! Alfred’s rowing training sessions are on Saturdays and Sundays, from 08h00.
