WHAKATANE ROWING CLUB TO ENJOY NEW RESOURCES
Our recent grant has enabled the club to purchase four sets of sculling blades, a new outboard motor for its coach boat and the construction of a new boatshed for small boat storage.
Steve Brine, Club Captain, Whakatane Rowing Club says the resources are desperately needed and will benefit the club’s members and the wider community.
“The boatshed will be separate from the existing club facilities and will house around 24 boats, including blades and riggers. Thanks to the generosity of The Lion Foundation, we are able to complete the shed project and provide some important equipment for our members.”
"The new equipment and boatshed will make a significant difference to the club, particularly with summer around the corner."
Lion Foundation Chief Executive Phil Holden says the organisation is proud to support Whakatane Rowing Club which is committed to offering facilities and resources that enable as many of its members as possible to enjoy rowing.
“We wish the club and its members a safe summer and every enjoyment and success on the water.”
This regional grant was made possible through funds raised at The Lion Foundation gaming venue in The Quart House Bar, Whakatane and the Plains Hotel, Edgecumbe.
