Just want to give a quick shout-out to the kids at Monmouth Comprehensive School Boat Club, who are raising money to support their club. We share a boat house with MCSBC and what a great bunch they are. OK, so quite a few of their parents are friends of mine, so I’m a touch biased, but seriously, they are fab. Great rowers, nice kids, and they don’t even mind when I yell at them when I’m coxing on a Saturday morning (I dunno … perhaps they’re used to being shouted at?
Anyway, on 21st March they are doing a half marathon. Some are running; others are cycling. Whatever they’re doing, it’s a heck of a long way and let’s face it, if they wanted to be runners they wouldn’t have joined the rowing club, so kudos to them.
Here’s what they have to say about the fundraiser: “We are the only Comprehensive School Rowing Club in Wales and were the only ones to attend the National Schools and National Championships Regatta in which we did quite well. The money also allows us to keep the fees low so that money is not a restriction when joining our rowing club.”
Can’t really think of a better reason to support them. So if you happen to have a spare fiver that you found in your pocket or down the back of the sofa, it would be great to send it their way. Here’s the JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/monmouthboatclub/
