Why are we doing this?
The club has gone from strength to strength in the past few years with numbers growing from 20 members a year to 80; we simply cannot survive in the small clubhouse we are currently training from.
The club wants to continue to grow and with a flourishing youth section we can only strengthen our position in the coastal rowing scene and local community.
With your sponsorship money we can rebuild the club house and help the whole club go on to greater successes.
The Rowing Club members will also be holding an event in Lymington during the ride for the local community to have a go at rowing and to help lift the profile of the ride and reason we are doing it.
Any support you are able to give would be greatly appreciated, and we hope to keep you up to date via our website and Facebook page.
