Discussion of Future

Steady as we go.  The view is that we are happy with our club with the number of rowers and level of activity.  It was suggested that we do an expedition row in 2024, possibly borrowing a boat, to gauge enthusiasm for this sort of event.

 

Beach clean / Pop up Cafe

Catterline Community Church is organising a pop up café on Saturday 23rd March.  This will be preceded by a beach clean.  The rowing club has been asked to man a stall, potentially with a rowing machine.  Gordon will provide litter pickers

Check time of tide

Paul & Anna are available

2024 Events

Plenty of events.  Stephen is adding potential events to the calendar.
