Who we are

Brighton and Sussex University's Rowing Team are only 1 year old and yet we are keen and determined to develop. We started small - with 10 active members but we have big visions to double our squad year on year. To do this we are fighting for a gym space to train as a crew, something commonplace for most university teams. This will be a room with rowing machines, weights and a wall where we can hang our future medals and awards (told you we had big dreams!)

What we are doing

On May bank holiday as a squad we are rowing for 24 hours - yes even all through the night - to raise some money to pay for this gym space. The gym we will move into has pledged to back our campaign by matching pound for pound what we raise! If we manage to raise £800, they will bring that to £1600: we can buy 4 rowing machines, if we raise £1000, we will make £2000 to fully equip the room with weights, rowing machines, and even speakers. With your help this will provide a strong foundation to help our small squad grow and soon you will see us winning races!

We are a motivated group and willing to 'row the extra mile' to get your support.

Thank you for taking your time to read this and we hope you will sponsor our cause!
