Under a chilly blanket of fog, a flock of juniors and less junior paddlers went for an early morning paddle shepherded by Nigel. A few laps of the prom in the flow, slogging upstream, flying back down, trying to burn off a few calories before a delicious cooked breakfast.

Huge thanks to the shoppers, cooks, hall deckers, washer uppers and tidy uppers. The food was amazing, the cracker jokes terrible and it kicked off the Christmas season in true RCC style.
