From 01/02/2012 to 26/02/2012

The 44th annual Avon County Rowing Club Head of the River Race will be held on Saturday 25 February 2012. This is a timed rowing race for up to 300 boats taking place on the River Avon between Newbridge in Bath and Saltford. Some 500-600 competitors are expected to take part with racing commencing at 10:00 and the last division starting at 15:15.

We would ask that you please navigate with great care during this time and in the interest of safety, while the racing is in progress, Race Marshalls will ask you to pull in to the bank and wait until the racing has passed. This may involve a wait of around 20-30 minutes but we would be most grateful if you could please fully cooperate with these requests.
