Happy New Year everyone. Steve Hawkins celebrated New Year's Day with a handroll in sub zero temperatures. Is this the first roll of the year?

Well done Steve! Get yourself down to Duckmill Weir in Bedford on Boxing Day 2009 and join us in our mass annual roll :-) This was us last week:-

And here are a few still images:-

Its been going just over 40 years and we have had 40 or 50 paddlers on the water in previous years. Maybe its about time we went for a Guiness Book of Records jobbie and tried to get the most people rolling at the same time? I have plans also of talking everyone into doing a rolling version of a Mexican Wave where we all roll like falling dominoes either in a line down the river or in a big circle :-)

Whatever we do, the more the merrier so come on down! :-)
