We enjoyed one of our most successful Henley Royal Regattas to date, with four crews competing in the main draw, two reaching finals, and a historic win in the Princess Elizabeth Challenge Cup for our boys. Read about our #HRR25 at https://f.mtr.cool/dkavkzxvql #ShiplakeInspirational
Disappointment at not getting to #HRR25 in person definitely tempered by the absolutely brilliant YouTube coverage (especially looking at the weather…)
Day 5 of #HRR25 and it's semi-finals day for our boys and girls in their respective cups! This morning, our girls are in action - boating at 9.05am and racing at 9.40am - before later our boys race in the evening - boating at 5.25pm and racing at 6.00pm. #GoBees #ShiplakeRowing
And the boys make it another crew through to tomorrow's semi-finals! A massive well done to our Boys' 8who put in a shift against Bedford School to set up a mouth-watering race vs St Paul's tomorrow. A phenomenal achievement to have both our 8s doing Saturday racing! #GoBees #HRR25
