• Hi All

What a remarkable day we had today in Shannon Rowing Club.  Boats out from early am,  Sandra and Christy changing the whole face of the river with the arrival of three fantastic Pontoons.  As we drove to training this morning we were greeted by the Fantastic new sign at our entrance and a host of fantastic coaches all ready for the river.  As parents we have to consider how lucky we are to have such a dedicated team.  So come on all oars people and parents and join in thanks and appreciation .  Today Pontoon Sunday is Sandra and Christy!s

Also it was great to meet baby Lily who has already shown a keen interest in rowing.
