In true tradition, Marlow’s Premier Sporting and Social Occasion kicked off on the banks of the river on a bright & blustery day with our opening Ceremony.

The sun was shining down on Nav Ali, as he handed over his stewardship as Town Regatta & Festival Chairman to Robin Atkinson. Nav Ali has been steering the committee successfully for 8 years, since the passing of Jim Campbell. A glass was raised as Robin Atkinson thanked Nav for his leadership and presented him with a Regatta engraved tankard.

The new Town Regatta & Festival Chairman Robin Atkinson hands an engraved tankard to outgoing Chair, Nav Ali.

 

Lady Ann Redgrave was welcomed to officially open the ceremony, remembering years gone by & thanking Nav for his tremendous efforts, with a stunning water colour of sunset over the River Thames at Marlow – presented by Sophie Redgrave.

Nav Ali presented with a gift by Sophie Redgrave, together with Lady Ann Redgrave who officially opened the event.
