Regatta attracts international crews
4:30pm Tuesday 10th June 2008
Kingston Rowing Club's amateur regatta will be held for the 151st time on July 12/13 this year.
Crews from Germany, Denmark and Gibraltar competed last year and are expected to do so again.
The event is again being sponsored by Thames Ditton car dealer Guy Salmon.
Managing director David Edwards said: "Events such as the regatta, which brings the community together with an appreciation of our great riverside, are something we greatly value."
Coaches of the winning eight crews will win an off-road 4x4 vehicle.
