Summer Eights

30 May 2026

Please note: Longbridge boat clubs have agreed that it would be not be appropriate to run Saturday events at the Boathouse in the usual manner, following a tragic incident earlier this week in which a young boy lost his life after getting into difficulty in the water.

Drinks bars and catering provision will therefore not be operating, and music will not be playing. In support of the approach being taken by the race organisers, we are asking crews and spectators to avoid extravagant displays of support / celebration at the riverside.
