Explore Rowing – Warrington Launch

The Bishop of
Warrington named Warrington Rowing Club’s six new stable boats on Saturday. The
boats were purchased through British Rowing’s Explore Rowing
programme.

The six boats have
all been named after famous explorers: Ernest Shackleton, Captain Cook, Marco
Polo, Mungo Park and Dr. Livingstone.  The final boat, an Explorer single, was
named after Roz Savage. 

Unfortunately Roz couldn’t be there but sent a message
of good will: “I wish I could be there with you today for the naming ceremony
but even though my commitments keep me in Sans Francisco, I’ll be there
with you in spirit and will raise a glass tonight in the general direction of
Warrington!”

The Explore Rowing
programme is British Rowing’s flagship Olympic Legacy programme funded by Sport
England.

As part of the programme funding packages are awarded to clubs to
purchase stable boats. These boats open up rowing to a wide range of
participants and are particularly suited to teaching people to
row.
