Brand new club: Brand new kit!
Boscastle, Cornwall, United Kingdom
Aim
We are a new club with a growing membership across all age groups. We need your help to buy more kit to get more people rowing!
There is a huge demand within our local North Cornwall community for rowing opportunities. We formed Harbour Rowing Club earlier this year, and already have 60 members ranging in age from 12 to 76. Every single one of those members loves rowing, whether it's in races, or just pootling around on the sea as the sun sets.
Our club is a community club. We love where we row. We love our community and are determined to play a full part in helping Boscastle and our surrounding parishes to flourish.
We are an inclusive club and are determined to offer rowing opportunities to everyone that wants to get out on the water. We are passionate believers in the restorative powers of the sea, and love the physical and mental health benefits that a bit of regular rowing can bring.
Our club currently relies on kit borrowed from other fantastic rowing clubs. We are just beginning to buy our own kit. Until we have our own kit, we can't be sure of sustaining our activities, let alone expanding them.
We need a variety of kit to enable us to serve our existing members and keep taking on new members. We need a traditional wooden gig boat; an all-year-round plastic training boat; at least one set of gig rowing oars; a specialist trailer to help us take boats to regattas and to different training venues; and we need lots of less expensive kit such as life jackets, seats and thole pins.
Whether you're a rower in another club, a blue health enthusiast, a local Cornwall business or even a friend of a club member, we hope you'll empathise with our passion and commitment to getting people rowing. We hope you'll feel able to help us.
This crowd-funder includes 'rewards' that give you or your business the option to donate money to buy specific pieces of kit. It also enables you to donate whatever sum of money that you can afford, and we'll put it towards essential kit.
Remember, this is all about getting more and more people out on the water which, in turn, will promote the physical and mental health of our communities.
Thank you for supporting Harbour Rowing Club.
