Exeter Rowing Club is mourning the loss of one of its longest-serving members. Brian Sculpher died peacefully on boxing day.

The day started rather more pleasantly than we (Dan Rowse and Dave Byrnes Mas C 2x) had expected and with a good tailwind, calm water and glorious sunshine, we made excellent time to Bardney Lock (13.5km), having overtaken many crews in the process….all going rather well and quite enjoyable.

The winners of this year’s club awards were announced at the Annual End of Season Dinner on Saturday. The awards were nominated by club members to recognise the achievements of members in the 2017-18 season.

The Bank holiday weekend saw 3 Exeter wins at Ross.    On the Sunday sprint course, 550m the Women Masters F 1x  between Christchurch Faye Standley and Exeter Di Parish had some previous history.
