Newquay 2012 – Ladies
So, the Newquay 2012 Ladies championships is nearly here!
As usual, regular updates and info here and via Twitter follow @_gigrower and use the #gigrowing and #Newquay2012 hashtags if you’re tweeting. With over 500 followers we’ll try to retweet as many messages and pics as we can but it could get a bit busy.
Some 92 crews have entered into the draw so there will be a great pile of points available on the GigRowerLeague as well. Mount’s Bay ladies are stretching their lead in the “Top club” points, but top cox and top ladies rowers positions (in a variety of age groups) are all still up for grabs.
Can the Falmouth ladies repeat their dominant performance from the start of the season at WPGC2012 or have crews from other clubs overhauled them over the past months?
The weather is set fair, so here’s to equally fair and close racing, and an exciting event for all.
