LARC Boat Fund

Club Captain, Hugo Mills, explains the challenge: ‘The Olympics always attracts a lot of interest from people of all ages who want to get into rowing, both to compete and for the health and wellbeing benefits.  But we’re limited at the moment by the number and type of boats we have, so we need to get ready by buying at least one new boat, suitable for younger and recreational rowers, in time for the Olympics so more local people can try and enjoy the sport.’

We encourage all of our members to get creative. How could you help us raise funds for our club?

JLARC wanted to row all night….so….with Half Term approaching…

24 Hour Fundraising Row

WHEN:

Saturday Feb 10th 10.00 until Sunday Feb 11th 10.00

WHAT:

As the countdown to the 2024 Paris OIympics begins, Lymington Amateur Rowing Club (LARC) members are aiming to cover the 350km distance to Paris on rowing machines, then see how far they can get back across the Channel in 24 hours

HOW:

Working in teams, they will be taking it in turn to row side by side on two machines (‘ergs’) for 24 hours.

WHY:

To raise funds to maintain their existing equipment and buy new coastal rowing boats to cater for the increasing local demand, from all ages and abilities, to try out and enjoy rowing.

Come and cheer the teams and chat to our members about our club and the sport.
