Please take a look at the GB Juniors newsletter from the Berlin championships. Some of you may have seen it at Peterborough but we have a PDF copy here for your viewing pleasure too. Then, of course, press gang all your young 'uns into joining the crew!

Batchworth missed out on their chance to take maximum points in the league at the week-end - succumbing to something akin to a motor boat finish by Amathus with the two teams knocking 15 and 20 seconds(!) respectively off the days best times up to that point. Rumours abound that a certain Bangsie fellow even had his waterskis out, such was their finishing speed!

Here they are then... the long awaited official Batchworth unofficial league tables for 2005.
Despite an outstanding week-end for all the Amathus crews they have to make do with second in both leagues so it's a big congratulations to WAM for taking pole in the standard.
Don't forget, though, that these are still unconfirmed and if you spot any oddities in any of the results do let us know.

In a frenzy of out of control report writing one of our guest reporters thinks it's time the world realised the dedication that some members put into their training....
Come and join us - you too could be part of this madness!

Batchworth succumbed to a potent Amathus team at the Worcester race course over the week-end. Losing out in the battle for the 200m event and then yet again by mere fractions of a second in a hotly contested 450m final.

More medals for the GB womens team - bronze in both the 200m and 500m events after what appears to be very tight finals all round.

Congratulations to the GB womens crew - silver in the 1000m event!
Sadly there seems to be a distinct lack of results posted on the official championships web site though.

It couldn't have been much better from a dragon boating point of view at the Victoria Docks last week-end. Batchworth won the inaugural 100m sprint races then went on to win the 500m event giving us an unassailable lead in the league.
The Batchworth Aspire crew were also out again and even managed to wangle themselves a load of medals too. ...and the rain stayed away right up until prize giving.

We now have the race report from Exeter with yet another competition from our over generous guest reporter and, finally, a few new pictures.
