South Coast Championships - Rowing Regatta

Wimbleball Rowing Club, hosts of the 2010 South Coast Championships on Wimbleball Lake high up on Exmoor, have confirmed that a straight 2000 metre, 6 lane course for the event has now been agreed with South West Lakes Trust who manage the facilities at the Lake.

Stephen Worley who is both the Chairman of the Wimbleball Club and a senior member of the South Coast organising Committee has confirmed that this new course will be used for the first time at this year's West of England Championship Regatta, which will be held on Saturday 11 September. The existing 1200 metre course from the bridge end up to the launching area will be replaced by the longer course which will now start right at the other end of the lake by the dam and will run to within 500 metres of the bridge.
