Berkshire's world-class rowing facilities opened |
||||
Berkshire's status as the UK's rowing capital has been assured with the opening of a world-class training facility.
The £13 million Redgrave Pinsent Rowing Lake and Sherriff Boathouse at Caversham was officially opened by Sir Steve Redgrave and Sir Matthew Pinsent. It is hoped that it will be used to train Olympic champions of the future. "This facility provides the perfect training base for our future Olympic champions. We are delighted that the Amateur Rowing Association will be using the site to nurture new talent for Beijing 2008, London 2012 and beyond," said Sir Steve. There will also be opportunities for local schools and clubs to take advantage of the 2,000 metre course. It will secure Berkshire's reputation as one of the world's foremost rowing centres. Dornley Lake, near Windsor, has already been chosen to host both this year's World Rowing Championships and selected as the venue for rowing and sprint canoeing during the 2012 London Olympics.
