Rowing News:
Sincere thanks to everyone who joined us for the Annual Memorrial Sculling Challenge for Brennie Murphy and Robert Manning. The sun shone strong on us, the water was beautiful, and there was a really great atmosphere, befitting the memory of our two friends, whose families were there with us. Thank you all. A great show of friendship and respect.
Our next long distance trip is to Castleconnell Regatta, this coming Sunday 19th. Best of luck to all our crews and coaches, and we'd love if all parents and friends made the short trip to support us.
After that it's the UK National Schools Regatta at Eton-Dorney Lake.
Social & Fundraising:
Table Quiz this Thursday May 17th in Shannon Rowing Club. Don't forget to break into your piggy bank and set aside €10 for your ticket to the SMRC Table Quiz here for one night only in Shannon RC. Get out the encyclopedias and start filling those brains.
We’re well on our way in ‘Captain Richie’s €10K fundraising challenge’. We’re already approaching the €4 mark! Let’s keep up the outstanding work over the next few weeks.
Oh and there’s the little item of our trip to the UK Schools Regatta at the London Olympic venue at Eton Dorney at the end of May. The logistics are almost done & we’re looking forward to taking the show on the road.
"I can’t thank the coaches, athletes, parents & volunteers enough for the great work to date. It’s very much appreciated!" says Captain Richie.
Email Captain Richie if you can help out at any of the events coming up.
