Members of Shanklin Sandown Rowing Club are running the ABP Southampton Half Marathon/10k in aid of the clubs capital funds to aid ongoing projects.

Shanklin Sandown Rowing Club is a non profit sporting club that has been at the heart of the South Wight sporting community for 142 years. As with any sporting club, it is in need of constant fundraising and investment in a equipment to both survive and have the capability to bring to quality rowing experiences to all ages and abilities.

Despite increased levels of fundraising for the club in recent years seeing the construction of a new boathouse, purchase of new rowing machines and buying new sets of oars to name a few, for the club to maintain its fleet and equipment to the required standard, a constant stream of fundraising is required - hence this effort by club members!

Current projects being completed by the club include; New Coastal 4+/4x+ to add to the fleet, new rubberised floor for the gym area, expanded kitchen area to make the function spaces more attractive for potential functions.

Cadet members Joe Robertson and Jamie Gamble are running their first ever 10ks in aid of the club! Stella Gamble and Lisa Robertson are also running in the 10k, with it also being Stella's first run over that distance! Alex Robertson will round of the team running in the half marathon.
