GLASGOW RIVER FESTIVAL 19 – 20 JULY 2008
We have been invited to take part in the River Festival this year to make people aware of coastal rowing, and even to ‘have a go”.
This is a great opportunity for the Club to be seen, and for rowing to show itself to a wide audience. (80-100,000 people).
If you would like to take part in this event, please get in touch with me as soon as possible.
ROWING - COACHING and HELPERS
In order to help people who are new to rowing and who would like to try it out, we need experienced rowers to help with coaching and generally “showing the ropes”.
If you are willing to spare a few hours, on a Thursday evening or a Saturday morning, please get in touch with me.
