Can't think of any particularly important changes. It's a shame when they get cancelled but the organisers do give adequate warning to prevent as many from moving trailers down unnecessarily.

The idea of foreign crews betting a long weekend on a tideway race in March going ahead is utterly loony anyway. They've only themselves to blame when their jaunt to England gets dashed.

Wouldn't mind reversing the course though, means I wouldn't have to paddle back every time and it'd be one in the eye for the Putney poshos.

The race itself is fine but HORR has seen a huge decline in entries in recent years. It used to be you'd go on a waiting list for the event but now it's not even getting close to filling up! 

The question is why is this happening? Is it becoming too much of an effort to enter/prep for an event which keeps being cancelled? Should categories be broken down into smaller areas - i.e. club size or location etc.
