Congratulations to everyone who raced the first hasler of the new season at Pangbourne. The weather was perfect and we had a strong team of 52 paddlers out, with 13 new members racing for Reading for the first time, as well as a few long-time-missing racers. Well done to all of you! 

We managed some great results and a lot of promotions as well. Overall we came second getting 594 out of a possible 600 points. Losing out only to Falcon who got 598!

Our Podium Paddlers – Tymur, Balaz, Edward, Kev, Bob, Max, Aiden, Annabel, Peter, Tilla, Bean, Imi, Nigel, Erika, Karina, Katherine, Greta, Xavier and Alice!!! 

Looking forward to the next one – Banbury on 27th October.

Don’t forget Hasler finals on 6th October (only if you completed 3 races in 2023/24 season), entries by 27th September. Speak to us or your coach if you’re not sure if you qualified.
