Northampton Rowing Club desperately need new boats!
Our growing junior squad are competitive, enthusiastic and love being on the water, but a lack of boats is restricting the club’s capacity to enable our juniors to row regularly.
On Sunday 8th September they will be challenging themselves in a Marathon row - all of the distances set as targets by their coaches will be further than any of them have rowed before! Some will attempting to row 12km, others 16km and some even going for the big one, 20km! For the junior crews this will be a fitness, strength and mental challenge - but ultimately they all wish to support their rowing club to continue to grow and compete. They will be trying to raise as many funds as possible for their boat appeal which was launched this week 🚣🏼🚣🏼🚣🏼!
We have been granted £10,800 by Sport England but in order to release the funding, the club needs to also raise a matched contribution of £10,800. This will enable the club to purchase two new double sculls which are urgently needed to enable more people to access the water.
Please help us to reach our target by sponsoring our juniors in their Marathon challenge! Anything you can pledge will be very much appreciated by the club!
