Henley Royal Regatta
ROWING clubs have told of their relief that Henley Royal Regatta is set to take place this summer and stay in the town.
Organisers confirmed on Monday that the annual event will be held in the week commencing August 9, subject to coronavirus restrictions.
The regatta had been postponed from July in a bid to avoid a second cancellation in as many years due to the pandemic.
Plans to hold it with limited or even no spectators or to move it to Dorney Lake in Buckinghamshire, where the 2012 Olympic regatta was held, were also considered.
