RCC Matters - Summer 2015

Long summer days, hot and balmy weather. Just right for messing about in a boat. And aren’t we just. Whether it’s up in   Skye; at Flamborough Head; on the river at Barrow; on the reservoir in Rutland; or on the Alley Alley O, we’re paddling, training, learning, racing, working hard but above all enjoying ourselves…..
