Nottingham University Boat Club set TWO new 100,000 Metre World Records

Two sets of University rowers overseen by Organisers Rob Aldridge and Tim Read undertook the Concept II 100,000 metre challenge in Nottingham Market Square on Friday October 31 as part of a fund-raising event for the British Heart Foundation.

Both teams carved substantial chunks of the existing records and raised a substantial sum for their chosen charity.
