Rag Regatta & Visitors' Day

So what is the Rag Regatta?

The Weybridge Rag Regatta is an annual event featuring fun races over a very short course on the backwater by Weybridge Rowing Club.

What about Visitors' Day?

We combine the opportunity for members to invite their friends, families and colleagues to come and see the club and meet the rowing community. That can be helpful when justifying the immortal phrase "darling, I'm still down at the rowing club..."

When is this year's Regatta?

It is traditionally a Sunday in August - this year's date has not yet been set.

What can I expect to witness at this prestigious event?

The programme of events includes....

• scratch coxed fours - for people who think they know how to row
• double skiffs - no experience needed, for people who think they can work as a team of three.
• dongolas - dragon boating in a large punt. No sanity required, for teams of around six + steersman
• greasy pole - who will risk their manhood (or womanhood) by venturing towards the end of a slimy tapered pole suspended over the water?

Entries are just £1 per person per event.

What if I'm a land-lubber?

Other attractions on the land include.....

• sprint ergo competition
• games for the children
• contests for the parents
• barbecue
• superb refreshments, with home-made cakes and sandwiches
