‘Pulling together to achieve the extraordinary’
“I’m Sue Thomas, retired teacher, aged 67 in February. I never ever imagined being a rower, but I got the bug when our first skiff was launched and it’s become a very important part of my life since we moved to the Machars. I’ve taken part in regattas, the SkiffieWorld’s World Championships and endurance rows like Castle to Crane and Monster the Loch. The IOM row feels like the next big challenge and I would be proud to row in the squad and help raise funds for our fantastic club.”
Sue is a trustee of Wigtown Bay Coastal Rowing Club.
“Hi my name is Jacqueline Crowther. I am 64 (almost 65!), a retired mental health nurse and I stay in Port William.
I have been coastal rowing now for 7 years. I like to compete in regattas; love rowing long distances and have been fortunate enough to compete in 3 coastal rowing world championships and have rowed the length of Loch Ness twice. In my 65th year I am trying to do things I have wanted to do but haven’t yet managed to, completely new things and things that take me out of my comfort zone and challenge me. Being selected to row one of the legs of the Isle of Man event would meet all those criteria and support WBCRC raise much needed funds.”
