John Browning is in Henley-On-Thames - standing on the bridge opposite the Leander Club Building, the home of the Royal Henley Regatta. You can hear cars passing and the sloshing of the water in the river below. After being called in live by the Radio DJs, John begins to introduce the shows report on the Henley Regatta and its significance in this small English Town. John: Cheers MC Spanner, yes I am in Henley-On-Thames, just outside the Leander Club home of the Royal Henley Regatta.
