The organising committee recently had a windup meeting:  notes can be viewed at http://bit.ly/1E1Ey2U .  Jane and Shane Johnson have also submitted their reflections: see http://bit.ly/1E1EpMZ and http://bit.ly/1E1EhNs .  This is an opportunity to say thank you to the committee, who did a fantastic job.  The Regatta turned out to be a celebration of life on the river here in Franklin, and the sort of festival one always hopes for but seldom pulls off.  Congratulations.
