Chiswick School, supported by the Quintin Hogg Trust and Chiswick Rowing Trust at Henley Women’s Regatta
Five of the successful Chiswick School girls rowing crew were assisting as marshals and stake boat holders at Henley Women’s Regatta. It gave the girls the opportunity to meet elite women athletes and see the action close up. QHT/CRT supported the visit and provided the girls with rowing kit for the event.
New Boathouse Development
Such rapid progress is being made on the structure of the new boathouse. The footprint is huge! The first floor will house four massive terraces, perfect for hosting events. The second floor will be home to our state-of-the-art gym. We can’t wait for its completion, scheduled for the end of December.
