Rowing News:
The Irish Provinces Indoor Rowing Competition was a great success once again last weekend. Well done to Joe Cantillon and all his team at RowFit.ie and of course congratulations to all our own SMRC podium medalists. Well rowed St. Micks!
Muckross Head of the River is scheduled for this coming Saturday Dec. 1st, however the weather is only shockin' so we will have to wait for an official statement to find out if it will go ahead.
Social & Fundraising:
**Stop Press**
We have a new event this year, a Club Christmas night on Dec 22nd. - save the date. More details on this next week, and if you can lend a hand, please contact Hannah.
St. Michael’s will once again run a Junior Christmas Raffle to raise funds for our development programmes. We have some very ambitious plans and our fundraising needs to match it including a potential return to the U.K. Schools Regatta at Eton Dorney.
Already signed up to provide prizes are this heroic bunch of supporters - Starting Small Standing Tall Childcare, The Commercial Bar, Redfaire, Bowe Dental, Suas Climbing Centre, DCG Solutions, GBM & a donation from the Captain’s father.
We’re aiming for 20+ prizes supporting local businesses and providers. We’re calling on all members & supporters to use their contacts to help us stock up on prizes. Cash donations also welcome and we’ll use these to purchase local goods & services.
Our members & supporters keep us going & we had a lovely reminder of some of our A List supporters from back in 1998 - Limerick’s finest The Cranberries.
There also some major fundraising events being considered for next year, and we'll talk more about these in the near future. As always, volunteers are key to making these events a success, and for the health of the club overall. We appreciate your efforts and hope you can row in when the time comes.
Please contact the Captain to help us out smrccaptain@gmail.com
