THE Evesham Rowing Regatta 2018 saw boating enthusiasts swoop on the town, enjoying excellent weather and rowing across the weekend.

The event is open to all clubs and schools, with Royal Grammar School Worcester being amongst the competitors this year.

97 races took place over the two days, with the 1000 metre upstream regatta on Saturday, while the sprint regatta, a 600-metre downstream race, was held on Sunday.

Evesham has several famous former rowers, including Wormington's Alex Gregory who won his second Olympic gold medal at Rio in the coxless four before retiring at the age of 33.
