The Manx Lottery Trust, as Delegated Partner of Big Lottery Fund UK, has awarded a grant of £5,362 to Ramsey Rowing Club for two sculling boats, suitable for the young novice rowers in their Junior Sculling Scheme.
Ramsey Rowing Club is the only rowing club on the Isle of Man. Their current boats are designed for adults. The boats suitable for novice juniors are lighter, with a more robust design, and are also fitted with two floats which prevent them capsizing.
With this funding the Club will be in a position to expand their junior rowing squad, which has members aged 10-14 years, both boys and girls.
