Suffok Coastal Sports Awards, 2010

Last night was a big night for DRC at the Suffolk Coastal Sports Awards ceremony.

Clio and Terry were both nominated in the individual categories and DRC was also put forward for the club award.

DRC was a runner up in its group and Clio won the Young Sports Personality of the Year award. She will now go forward to the awards for the whole of Suffolk next month. Some of you may also have been lucky enough to hear our young star being interviewed on Radio Suffolk this morning.

This is yet more great recognition for our club in what has been a pretty big year so far - well done everyone!!

Ramsholt Challenge, 2010

Ramsholt Challenge, 11th September 2010

One of the new Exlpore Rowing coxed Ivs on the way to Ramsholt

Well done and thank you to all of the club members who participated in this year's fundraising event, and to the supporting family members who met the rowers at the Ramsholt Arms – the conditions were particularly demanding, with strong winds, a very high tide and choppy water, so the 24 rowers (and coxes) who took part should be especially proud of their achievement.



Special thanks go to Chris Jillings who surprised us all with a cooked breakfast first thing before setting out as well as chocolates on our return. He also manned the launch boat to make sure that everyone was okay and this was particularly welcome in the difficult rowing conditions. Thank you too to John Churcher for selecting the crews.
