Sponsors, supporters and helpers of Ryde Rowing Club were entertained at an informal gathering at their club house on Friday evening (22nd January) to thank them for their support during the last year.
After a welcome and thanks from club captain Peter Allsopp and a short presentation on the club’s activities and successes in 2015 – which included South Coast Championship open wins the Men’s Novice Four, Single Sculls and Coastal Junior Pair – a presentation was made to Angela Clark for her volunteer work at Ryde Rowing Club. A presentation was also made to Felicity Radak, a fundraiser with Isle of Wight Youth Trust who, working in conjunction with Wightlink, were the club’s nominated charity in 2015.
Following various fund raising activities the club was able to hand over a cheque for £500 to the Isle of Wight Youth Trust who provide counselling, advice, information and support services to young people under 25 on the Isle of Wight and, in some cases their parents or carers.
