Cwch sgwlio sengl newydd/ New single scull boat
Marianglas, Isle of Anglesey, United Kingdom
Aim: Were aiming to fund the purchase of a new single scull boat and oars
Who are we?
Moelfre Rowing Club which was established in 2005 . The Club was set up to give local people of all ages the opportunity to participate in water based activities, encouraging healthy lifestyles.
Why are we crowdfunding?
As a club we have grown in membership over the past 5 years and welcome rowers of all ages and abilities to row during multiple weekly sessions. We are fortunate to have a double scull which is hugely popular and are now seeking funding to purchase an additional single sculls to enable more members to enjoy the sport. A single scull will help develop individual sculling technique and allow competitive rowing in league races.
How we’ll spend the money raised
We have sought competitive prices for the scull and oars and as a committee have agreed on the specification and proposed longetivity of the kit- to ensure best value for money. This includes a scull which is capabale of handling ocean and lake rowing benefitting a range of trianing and racing needs) with components and parts on the boat structure which can be replaced and upgraded if any damage occurs.
Community impact
More choice of rowing boats attracts a range of rowers! Were aiming for more new rowers to join our club who are keen to develop a new hobby and improve their sculling technique - with the aim for a greater number of entries in competitive league races and a proposed progression route to national level more competitive rowing. Our rowing club has a range of partner rowing clubs across Wales and we hope to strengthen these partnerships by sharing resources, allowing visiting rowers to share knowledge and skills.
