Rowers recognised for lifesaving reactions after competitor collapses

Royal Humane Society certificates presented to three rowing club members reflect their prompt and effective actions after a masters sculler collapsed at the Head of the Stour.
 
In early March 2023, Jeff Watling of Southsea RC and Robert Hall of Guildford RC raced in a Masters double at the Head of the Stour in Christchurch. Shortly after finishing, Robert – who was at stroke – collapsed and fell backwards into the boat.
