Sunday 10th August 2014 Run in the style of a 'sportive', the swim is organised into a group format, with teamwork making this a fun and satisfying event with a difference, whilst at the same time swimming over a particularly beautiful stretch of the River Thames.

  • Remenham, Berkshire
    Remenham, Berkshire The parish of Remenham contains several hamlets and estates. The principal areas are Remenham, Aston, Remenham Hill, The Marsh and Marsh Lock. A.G. Taylor, Assendon e-Museum 2010 My personal interest in Remenham stems from the facts that I was baptised in Remenham church My father’s ancestors lived in Remenham from about 1850 to 1915 Remenham The name Remenham probably comes from the old English words reoma and ham and probably means a homestead or an enclosure by the riverbank. Remenham village is a small collection of buildings, principally St. Nicholas’ church and rectory, a village hall, Remenham Farm, the site of the former manor house and the former school. Parts of the moat of the original manor house remain. Sir Edmund Montfort owned it in the reigns of Edward IV and Richard III. A lane from the church provides public access to the river. Remenham church dates back to the 13th century. The only remaining part of the church from this time is the east window from about 1320. One window in the nave is restored from the 14th century and the tower dates back to the 15th century. However the building underwent a complete modernisation in 1870, at a cost of £700, and a sacristy and vestry were added in 1892, costing £450. The lych gate was built in memory of Violet Noble, youngest daughter of John Noble of Park Place, in 1868.

  • Totally Oarsome…
    Leander New s Leander Club Newslette r Winter 2010 Totally Oarsome… Leander has had another very strong year in 2010. We have produced winning crews at every level and with the World Championships less than a week away, there is promise of yet more success for Leander athletes and coaches in New Zealand. These Championships are two months later than usual to fit in with the New Zealand summer, and as a result it seems strange to be reflecting on the season thus far when it is not yet finished. One of the positives of this situation is that it reduces the amount of winter training that many of us will have to do for the 2011 season! The most recent addition to the team is Beijing silver medallist Debbie Flood, who following a training camp in Germany has been confirmed as competing in the women’s quad - the boat in which she has twice won silver at successive Olympic Games.
