Scilly Isles Training Row

Following the postponement of the row from Newlyn, Cornwall across to St Mary’s, Isles of Scilly last weekend due to weather we would like to reschedule this training row for the weekend of the 5th – 8th September 2008.

Helicopter -
http://www.islesofscillyhelicopter.com/page/home.html
 

Please be aware those of you who are bringing boats that they will be shipped back on the Scillonian III throughout the week or so following the event. They can only be shipped back at a maximum of 2 at a time so people will have to be patient and contact us with desired shipping dates and we will try to work around everyone’s timetables.
 

Costs for the weekend are anticipated to be around £100 per person (less if it costs less!) for support coverage costs associated with the Rib and shipping of trailers and boats. Individuals will be responsible for their own accommodation costs as well as travel arrangements back from the Scilly Isles on the Monday (and of course beer money!)
 

We plan to put all of the Woodvale owned boats on the water for this weekend so even if you haven’t got a boat you are more than welcome to join in the fun and we will do our best to ensure that everyone who wants to row can do so. If you want to bring your own boat but do not have a full crew for the weekend then please contact me and we can arrange for someone to join you. Also if you are looking at selling your ocean rowing boat this could be the perfect opportunity!
 

Please let us know if you are interested in taking part in this weekend and we will keep you informed of the details as we get nearer to the row start.
 

We hope that you will be able to join us and if you have any further information then please do not hesitate to contact us – info@woodvale-challenge.com
