Like buses! 6 months of trying to get are hands on a Celtic Longboat and then 2 come along together.
In March 2010 Swanage Rowing Club put their Celtic Longboat on the market and we made them an offer which was accepted. The road trip was on! Charlie very kindly offered to drive to Exeter to collect the boat and the club gives you a huge Thank you! Oli & Andy also made the trip down to Exeter to keep Charlie awake.

Due to weather conditions on October 25th we were unable to do the planned row from Cardigan to Aberporth, instead we decided to row the equivalent distance up and down the river Teifi.
Four crews all rowed once each up and down the river to complete the distance in a time of 2 hours 8 minutes and 35 seconds. The winner of the £25 Guess the Time competition was Mr David Williams from Tremain with a time of 2 hours 10 minutes. Congratulations to Mr Williams and thank you to everyone who took part.
The club would also like to say a special thank you to Stewart Forsyth & Helen Young for providing the support boat for the event.
Vice Chairman Andy Mayer presents Dai Williams with £25 for winning guess the time.
Despite the weather we had a fantastic turn out to our August Bank Holiday Treasure and Scavenger Hunt. The teams all set off in fairly pleasant (well, dry) conditions not knowing what was in store. The heavens opened and as the teams returned each was wetter than the last! But with great prizes up for grabs no one was giving in!
After a long day on Sunday we have got a boat back in Aberporth. It needs some work which will be carried out this Saturday, weather pending. We hope to have it back on the water the week after.
