Pangbourne represented at WJC at Brive, France

Two Pangbournians, Charlie Rendle (son of David Rendle 73-78) and Charles Herbert, represented Great Britain in the Coxed Four event at the World Junior Championships held recently in France. Charlie rowed at bow and Charles at 2.

The crew, reports David, did very well to make the A final where they came fifth of six. All told, the crew beat Canada, the USA, Poland, New Zealand, Croatia and South Africa during the championships. Germany won the gold medal.

The Four was coached by Mark Woodcock of Oratory School. Mark is joining  Pangbourne College next January to teach Maths and to coach rowing.
