Story
Nicky was a keen rower and much loved member of Fishguard and Goodwick rowing club., she was racing just 6 months before she lost her battle with cancer in 2013.
In memory of Nicky I would like to raise the funds to buy a new boat for the club which will be named after her and be known as 'NICKY'
'Nicky's Boat' will benefit the Rowing club hugely by broadening the rowing experience and enabling more people of all ages to take up the sport and compete in this category of sea rowing.
I would love to think of 'Nicky's spirit' living on in the freedom of this boat, and look forward to organizing a launching party in May 2019!
Thank you for your generosity! xxx
