The seminar included among other information the latest news from Worldrowing as well as topics of mutual interest.

Denmark win Nordic Cup 2022
While big parts of continental Europe had record high temperature, low temperature and heavy day rain Saturday and strong headwind Sunday was not the most optimal conditions for a summer regatta.
