Help the Heroes . West Bay Row

Hi everyone,

We have received a very complimentary thank you letter from the Governor of Portland Prison which I thought you might like to read. They believe they’ve raised over £20,000 for Help the Heroes which is tremendous.

Help for Heroes . West Bay Row

Hi all

Great response with requests to row! I have attached ‘the list’ of rowers and would appreciate an early reply if any of you cannot make the day after all.

We will aim to leave Lyme at 8.15am on Sunday 18^th so will need those first crews down at the gig shed by 8 a.m. at the latest. The crew in the boats leaving Lyme will include the Governor of the Portland Youth Offenders Unit and three of his colleagues in their sponsored fundraiser from Dartmoor prison to Portland Prison using as many modes of transport as possible.

The second crews will be leaving West Bay at around 10.30 a.m to return to Lyme Regis. The row should take under 2 hours each way.

We would like to support the Portland Prison Crew with their fundraising efforts for Help the Heroes which is a charity raising monies for military personnel wounded in current conflicts so I have attached a sponsorship form for all rowers – please could you try and get as much support as possible

Cheers

Diana
