Well done team TBYC, we are currently 51st in the world top clubs list with 61 entries.  Thanks must go to Nic Barnes who is our top fundraiser with £50 and all those members who have already donated.

Not entered, not donated yet? Wan to be part of the biggest race in the world and get in the Guinness Book of world records?

Its not too late, you can simply turn up at the club and race as normal, 10am start.  We can enter you when we enter the results (I say we, I mean Graham! Thank him if you see him tomorrow).  If you would like to donate there will be collections in the Bosuns Hut and on the Bar.

Thank you to all those volunteers who have already given up their time to make this happen, and to those like our Race officer Steve Hopper and his team with all the hard work to do.  If you take any video or photos tomorrow, please send them(or a link) to myself, Paul Morgan or Graham to be included in our upload of the days events.

TBYC…be part of it.

Barts Bash, Sunday 21st, 10am start 

In order to comply with the Guinness world record attempt, we need your help.

We are short of one or two people to take photos and video the start and finish from the Committee Boat.  There role is outlines below.

• Video of the event. We need to ensure that the start and finish of the race is recorded by video. You do not need to record the whole race.
• Take photos of the event, preferably of the start line where the boats are massed. If possible for publicity, a group shot (or shots) on land would be fantastic with your club flag in front of the group etc.

We need two independent witnesses (must be non members and not family members of anyone racing) They will need to be on the rib while it measures the course using GPS, then witness the race start, recording of results and the finish from the Committee boat.  Do you know anyone?

• All clubs wishing to enter the Guinness world record attempt MUST have 2 independent witnesses. We will provide statements for them to sign. These signed statements will be required following the event.
• Independent witnesses cannot be members of the club and cannot be linked to the race in any way. i.e. family taking part in the race.
