The Open started in fairly light winds which improved during the day and provided excellent racing in glorious sunshine.  There were thirteen starters of whom four were visitors, from Grafham, Ely and Rugby & Daventry SC. The winners were (again!) Phil and Laura Bevan from Grafham Water, followed by Martin and Laurence Davies from Rugby. The first ASC boat was helmed by Antony Cole and crewed by Andrew Holmes, taking third place. Fourth were junior prize winners Scott Bilham and Jack Camman, who equalled the third placed boat on points.

A vote of thanks was proposed for the OD crew led by Barry Steel and Mark Donnelly, and the galley team again consisting of the female side of the Hallé family.
