Entrance to the Stewards’ Enclosure
Yesterday was our first day hanging out around the Stewards’ Enclosure. There is no other event in rowing that compares to the scene in the Stewards’ Enclosure. For starters, there is a dress code that all must abide by. As such, this is where you see a great many rowing blazers, fancy dresses, and great hats. Hundreds of people come to the Stewards’ Enclosure not just for the social scene but to watch rowing! Rowing is truly a different sport in Great Britain. I took some pics and video to give you a taste:
The Stewards’ Enclosure is located at the finish line of the race course, making it the best place to watch very close racing. As you walk towards the starting line, you’ll pass other various enclosures, food tents, bars, etc. While there is no dress code outside of the Stewards’ Enclosure, many people are still dressed up in the spirit of the regatta.
During our race on Wednesday, a friend or coach from Upper Thames Rowing Club took some video of our race, which he was kind enough to leave as a comment in the last blog post. Thanks for posting, Ian Couch!
