The 1881 Fund

The 1881 Fund is LARC’s fund for the purchase and maintenance of club boats, equipment and facilities.

The club has been part of the Lymington community since it was founded in 1881 and, since moving to its new clubhouse in 2019, membership has almost tripled.

The good news is that interest in coastal rowing continues to grow, however we are often limited in our ability to take on new members because capacity for boats is limited.   And, with over 150 members already training, competing and rowing recreationally throughout the year, week in week out, our kit has to work hard and there is an ongoing need to maintain, service and refresh the fleet of boats and support ribs, indoor facilities, the club minibus, trailer and other equipment which enables the club to be a thriving centre for coastal rowing.  

So please contact LARCTreasurer1881@gmail.com if you would like to discuss ways to support the club, from squad, event and boat sponsorship to project funding or fundraising events.
