World class rowing returns to Eton Dorney next month - June 21st to 23rd - when the GB Rowing Team takes on the rest of the world at the second Samsung World Rowing Cup 2013.
The event will provide a great opportunity for rowing and sports fans alike to tune up their voices and to get behind Team GB once more at one of the most iconic venues of the London Olympic Games. A number of teams have already indicated that they will stay on in England after the World Cup in order to compete at Henley Royal Regatta.
Tickets are now on sale to see Oympic gold medalists like Andrew Triggs Hodge, Pete Reed, Alex Gregory and Helen Glover, amongst others. There are daily tickets, three-day passes and family tickets.
However, do not delay, the number of spectators has been capped on each of the three days - Sunday is almost sold out. There will be spectator enclosures and an entertainment and catering area to enjoy, as well as the rowing.
You can find out more information by visiting http://www.wrcupetondorney2013.com/
You can also purchase tickets over the phone by calling 01753 743900.
Henley Royal Regatta attracts over 300,000 spectators each year and is one of the most prestigious sporting and social occasions in the world. We recruit a number of temporary staff each year in a wide variety of roles to help stage the Regatta. Please note we are now only recruiting staff aged 18 or over.

Amendments to the Qualification & General Rules for 2013
The Temple Challenge Cup
In order to improve the standard of the crews competing in this event it has been decided to remove Rule 1(f) which barred oarsmen who had won a medal at a World Under 23 Championships, at a World University Rowing Championships or at a European Championships. In addition, previous winners of The Prince Albert Challenge Cup will now be allowed to compete in The Temple Challenge Cup.
The Thames, Wyfold and Britannia Challenge Cups
The Prince Albert Challenge Cup
It is now clear that the standard of medal winning crews is much higher in the World Under 23 Championships and in the European Championships than in the World University Rowing Championships. It has, therefore, been decided that winners of medals at the World University Rowing Championships should be allowed to race in these four Henley events.
The Fawley Challenge Cup
The Junior Women’s Quadruple Sculls
In 2010 the rules of The Fawley Challenge Cup were changed to restrict entries to single clubs or schools – composite crews were banned. In 2012 the Junior Women’s Quadruple Sculls was held for the first time with the same rules as The Fawley Challenge Cup. In order to reinforce the single club / school stance the following new Rule has been introduced for 2013 for both these events:-
“Any sculler who has represented his club or secondary school boat club at the National Schools’ Regatta, or at an analogous national event elsewhere, shall compete only for that club or secondary school.”
