    ***GREAT RIVER RACE 2024 UPDATE***
    For those of you interested in the GRR, entries are now OPEN, (and close on 15th August).
    We’d love Exmouth Gig Club to be represented at this fabulous event, and interested crews are invited to apply. Before you can do so, you’ll need to present all your info to the Committee, to make sure that there are no clashes: eg coxes name, crew names, tower’s name, passenger name (remember you must carry a passenger for this race, so 6 rowers, 1 passenger and 1 cox).
    Costs to consider are: £75per person entry fee (inc for cox and passenger), craneage on and off the Thames at Ham (£25 both before and after the race), fuel, accomodation etc
    Really thorough entry info can be found HERE
    .
    .

    Gina has kindly collated a list of ‘out of area’ events which may appeal to club members, listed below, (with links to the event website or facebook page beneath each, in orange).
    If you’re interested in taking part in any of these events, please state which, and in order of preference so we can gauge appetite.
    (Participation, will, as always be dependent on the availability of a boat, a cox and a tower!)

    Hi Meg, we can consider any event! We don’t have anyone who is organising these events, it’d be a case of a crew getting themselves together and then the committee would support as much as we were able. Have you spoken to any of the others about it yet?
