The weekends racing kicked off with the veterans race from St Agnes on Friday evening. This always promises to be a fantastic race and this year was no different. 58 crews sat on the start line of the mens veterans race, eagerly awaiting the drop of the flag. A brilliant race ensued, but unfortunately Roseland were unable to retain their title. A battle between Falmouth and Caradon left Caradon the mens veteran World Champions with a composite crew from Scillies and Newquay coming in 3rd. Roseland did not have a ladies veterans crew to race, but Falmuth won this, with Helford 2nd and Mounts Bay in 3rd.
Saturday saw a sunny start and luckily this lasted throughout the day! The St Agnes races proved to be an amazing spectacle. 109 boats on the startline for the men and 106 for the ladies.
Sunday....FINAL DAY!!! Another amazing sunny day (saw a few lobsters walking around on Sunday evening!) and nerves were running high! A shock winner for the mens saw Mounts Bay crowned as World Champions and in the ladies Falmouth retainted their title. Both the ladies A and mens A finished a VERY respectable 3rd place. The mens B excelled themselves to finish 11th and the ladies B also did fantastically with 2 rowers rowing their debut ladies races to finish 22nd!

Saturday 12th April 2008
Roseland Gig Club hosted a fun event for local clubs. The day saw crews from Roseland, Truro, Devoran and Penryn mixing up and racing against each other. Each crew that raced had a combination of 2 clubs in it, so you can imagine some of the scenes that were unveiled!
The day was a massive success and everyone had fun! Roseland Gig Club would like to say a massive thank you to all who turned up and those who provided cakes and sandwiches for the stall.
