Eddystone Challenge
The Eddystone Challenge is a 26 mile/40K row from Mount Batten to the Eddystone Lighthouse and back on August 16th. It can take 4-7 hours to complete. A male crew and a female crew are currently training. The ladies hope to be the oldest female crew to achieve this in a gig and have decided to do it in aid of CHILDREN’S HOSPICE SOUTH WEST. If you would like to sponsor them please contact Loveday Fethney lovedayandben@btinternet.com . Sponsorship forms are circulating around the club.
GOOD LUCK!!

Events
Dates to pencil in the diary. Please contact squad captains if you are interested in taking part in any of the events. We aim to include as far as we can. I understand that as a club we have decided to support events nearer to home where at least 3 crews wish to participate, so let captains know asp so we can register.
31st May Cothele museum opening. Rowers are required to get gigs there and back and to publicise the club by taking out folk wanting a taster and selling prints of Tamar. A beautiful row if you haven’t done it before and for those of us that have it’d be lovely to do it when it is not raining!
