| A lovely warm summer day and it was the annual Cookham Regatta run by the local Rotary. It is the ninth year the Regatta has been jointly run by the Rotary Clubs of Cookham Bridge and Marlow Thames. The main sponsor was Michael Shanly Homes and Copas Partnership had allowed the use of Marsh Meadow and their trailer. Over thirty charities will be supported from the profits of the day including Elizabeth House in Cookham, local charities in the area, plus national and international charities. | ||

A nice little runabout |

The Rotary club were delighted with the turn out, and the crowds on the shore enjoyed the races as well as the other activities. It was agreed that this was another fabulous day of well organised fun and fund-raising. Attractions for everybody and particularly for those taking part. |
