Reminder!!

We have our pre-season working bee this coming Sunday from 9am - 12noon.

Please encourage your rowers to make themselves available if they are in town and have no other commitments. Parents welcome - many hands make light work!

Thank you in advance for your support with setting up for the season!

A reminder about our AGM on Wednesday night. It would be great to see as many people there to support this as possible!
