Ross Rowing Club named three brand new Fillipi boats on Sunday, November 29th. They were purchased through the support of local businesses and Sport England.
The boats are designated for the Junior Academy and represent another important step in the development of Junior rowing in Ross. The boats are of the highest standard and are exactly the same as those used by the GB squad rowers who won Gold medals in the last Olympics.
These boats have been supported by Ian Williams from WH Polymers and Jay Boaden from Midas NDT. Ian said: "We are delighted to be able to support such a successful organisation. It is with great pride that we now have our name associated with this equipment and the Junior Academy".
Jay said: "I have watched the progress of the club over the last few years with great interest and we are only too pleased to be able to support its continued progress". The Ross club has successfully attracted many local businesses along with Sport England to support the development of its senior and Junior fleet. This now amounts to 20 boats and many dozens of both sweep and sculling blades. In addition to this support the club is also proudly supported by PGL who helped purchase the blades for these new boats.
