Viv Greenwood has done it again, when her latest information plaque, this time targeting the Henley Royal Regatta and sited – appropriately – on the river bank opposite the Leander Club. The beautiful plaque was unveiled on 13 January 2024.

Do you think that you know everything about the Regatta?

• Why did salad leaves and fruit cause a problem in 1886
• Why was a footbridge across the Thames not needed in 1900?
• Why was an Olympic rower barred from entry to the Regatta?

Not sure? Go and take a look!!!
