reports on the first North Devon Relay of 2012 - "Mary Pool ran well
following her London Marathon success ! Andy Pearson was in charge of
organising the lads and looks as though vet40 team, Chris Stone, Andy
Pearson, Peter Rigler and Steve Turner, may be in 2nd place. Tom Cawsey
did a good job organising the juniors and was a great help." |

It has been a
particularly busy few weeks for Charlie White the promising 15- year- old
from club, who has produced some outstanding perfomances on the indoor
rowing competition circuit. The North Devon youngster started with a
brilliant display at the English Championships, held in Manchester and
followed that up by also securing the gold medal at the South West Schools
Indoor Rowing Championships in Plymouth, where he represented Bideford
College. Charlie then produced his best performance at the British and
European Indoor Championships at Nottingham, where he picked up another
gold. He posted a distance of 1198 metres in the Junior 14 age category
during his four minute effort which saw him finish well clear of the
chasing pack. |
 |
| Also
striking gold at the British Championships was fellow Blues rower Alice
Jackson who, racing over the full 2000 metre distance in the Junior 18
section, recorded a time of 7 minutes 20.2 seconds. Jackson a pupil at
Kingsley School in the town, last year represented England at the Home
International Championships in Strathclyde, just missing out on gaining
selection to the GB Junior squad. |
|
| The Bideford AAC Rowing section is one of the
premier clubs in the West of England. We welcome rowers of all ages and
abilities so if you are interested in learning to row or maybe you are an
