The club is currently at the height of its seasons activity and racing season(see Regatta news).

We are delighted to see a mixture in excess of 30 young boys and girls currently rowing with the club

at various levels up to under 18 level.Training is currently at its height of almost 7 days a week therefore

providing a great opportunity for anyboby interested in joining the club wether it be rowing or helping

out with coaching.Any coaching help would be appreciated.

 

This weekend saw the completion of the 10K sponsored Castletroy run on Sunday June 21.The participants

consisted of both runners and walkers stretchng their legs legs in order to raise funds for the purchasing

of a much needed safety boat/launch.This will help to bring the number of safety boats to 3 within the club.

These boats are vital for coaching and safety purposes as they escort the rowers at all times when they are on the river.

The club would like to thank greatly all those who supported the run through their donations.The Commitee

would also like to express their gratitude to all those members who were contacted directly for funds to aid the purchase of the safety boat.

 

The club grounds are also experiencing a face lift due to the contribution of the Limerick Civic Trust workers whose

effort has made a huge difference to the the appearance of the club especially at this time of year.

 

The club recently purchased a new Fillepe 4 racing boat manufactured in italy.As in the time honoured tradition of christening new boats,

Michael(Mickey) Phayer will be honored for his long time service and commitment to the club.It is hoped that the ceremony will take

place in September and details will follow.
