We'll be running an Ergothon fundraiser in the club on St. Patrick's day. We'll be looking to start at midday, with rowing finished by 2/2:30. We'll split all athletes into groups on the day and people will row different distances depending on age/experience, etc. The bar will be open afterwards, showing the Ireland/England 6 nations game at 2:45.
Parents are all welcome to come down, there'll be a BBQ ongoing as well, with cafe operating throughout the day. Evan will be putting up posters around the club this evening as a reminder to everyone.
Everyone's support with this would be greatly appreciated, and if you have any questions just let me know. I'll be around this evening and Saturday morning if anyone needs sponsorship cards, just let me know when your squad is down.
