Building a boatshed in Shaun’s backyard 2019

Thankyou to trustee Shaun McGuire for allowing us to use his space for so very long. The roof materials were bought by trustees Jannine Kelly and Vikki Reay-Martin, as a donation to the club. Volunteers led by Shaun Thomson and Chris Harrison created the space for us to build Breagha in 2019-2021 (Covid lockdown prevented and earlier launch) and Ninian in 2023-24. Volunteers Tom Carlier and Pete Smith repaired the roof, re covering it during our second skiff build, with funding support from the D&G Community Led Health and Wellbeing Fund. We moved most of our belongings out in April 2025, but Shaun continues to let us store oars, and wood, whilst we wait for our new community boatshed to be finished.
