Rowing News:
The Club has started work on our most ambitious capital project ever, the building of a new state-of-the-art floating pontoon slip in O’Callaghan Strand. See the illustration below. The new slip will allow us to launch several boats simultaneously as well as being a major improvement from a rower safety and boat handling perspective.
Work has already started with the removal of our old slip and preparations for the pilings for the new slip are now underway. The foundations for the piles were completed this week. The entire project including the installation of the access gantry and pontoons should be complete by the end of March, just in time for Spring rowing.
It's a very exciting time for SMRC and we need all the support we can muster. Please support our fundraising efforts now more than ever.
We are very grateful for our support so far, especially for this project. We're almost there!!
Also we must give a special mention to the driving force and 'energiser bunny' behind this enterprise, Pierce McGann. We couldn't do any of this without you Pierce, thank you from us all at SMRC.
The Jackpot Prize currently stands at €1,000 and is kindly sponsored by our generous friends at Bowe Dental Clinic. www.bowedentalclinic.ie
The SMRC lotto is a vital part of our fundraising plans, and in particular for our new slipway project as 100% of the lotto proceeds are ring fenced for this urgent construction. Thanks to all our players, and also to those of you who joined or renewed recently. Every one of you is very welcome.
