Big Thank you to our New Sponsor: The Brendon Arms
Local pub, The Brendon Arms, has made a generous donation to the club in order to sponsor a new oar. This will be a great benefit to both the adults and juniors for training and racing. The new oar has been made by J Suttons in Windsor who used to make oars for the Olympics back when wooden oars were used.


Bencoolen Inn Sponsors club for a second time.
The Bencoolen Inn has kindly sponsored a new oar to replace the one broken during last season. The shaft of the oar will bear the name of the Bencoolen, who will be proudly displaying the old oar in their pub (both pieces of it!).


Club Jackets.
Orders are being taken for club jackets. These are black softshell jackets, which are waterproof, windproof and bear the club’s logo. For more information, contact Josh on 07792835424.

Are you feeling fit and ready for the race season??
If you would like to improve your stamina and strength ahead of this year’s races, or if you simply want to get in shape come along to circuit training. Sessions are held every Tuesday at Aspire Fitness Pod in Bude from 8pm. All club members are welcome, regardless of fitness level and each session costs just £1 so come and give it a go!
