Pembroke Regatta 2009-10
6th February 2010Next Saturday, 12th February, Pembroke Regatta is taking place. This is a side by side set of races along the long reach. The excitement of the side the side races makes it a fantastic event to watch from the bank. Also, you can see most of the course without having to move along the river. More details on division times etc will be posted when available however the races will be taking place all day. So if you have a free couple of hours then please pop down and support our crew. We will have 6 crews entered, so there will be lots of Christ's action to watch.

Clare Novice Regatta
29th November 2009As we know, Clare Novices does require some luck in order to be a reflection of ability, and for many crews it’s the event that brings major fuel to the fire for Fairbairns; time to set any records straight that might need setting straight! I have been so impressed by all 4 of our crews over the past three days.
