Durham graduate Les Williamson (College of St Hild & St Bede 1967-70) remembers...
Bede coxes, Durham Regatta, June 1968 - In those days, Durham Regatta was held mid week; two afternoons. School children got the time off and came down to the Bede landing to see the young "Sirs" who had just finished teaching practice at their school. We thought that we should make a bit of an effort for our home regatta, setting the clock back 50 years.
