Quiz night fundraiser prizes and sponsors needed
Quiz Night will be on Friday 23rd February. This is to help fundraise. As each year the club has expenses such as rates, mortgage repayments and interest, insurance, repairs and maintenance of boats, building, trailer and coach boats, subscriptions and licences to BOPRA to name just a few. These expenses are divided over the number of rowers to get an annual rowing fee. Additional costs are added to school rowers that include coaching expenses, fuel and regatta race fees for the club season. This year no allowance has been made in the rowing fees to buy new boats, oars etc but instead funds will be sought from grants and from our big annual fundraiser- the quiz night.
SO IF YOU CAN HELP WITH SPOT PRIZES OR CAN SPONSER US PLEASE LET US KNOW.
THANK YOU
