There was a great turn out on Hayle beach on Saturday morning for the official launch, blessing and naming of Hayle Gig Clubs new training gig “Gwinear”.
The Reverend Chris McQuillen-Wright was there to give the boat his blessing in front of a large crowd of members ,sponsors and local dignitaries. A lucky crew of 6 and cox were then given the pleasure of being the first to take Gwinear into the water for her first row.
None of this would have been possible without the generous funding received from Sport England National Lottery Return to Play fund. The Club would also like to thank all of their sponsors, including Prima Bakeries and The Cornubia Inn Hayle , our newest sponsors.
One of the main goals of our funding application was to be able to hold more space for young people. We would like to encourage more under 14s /under 16s to come and row for Hayle, having the extra training boat will provide extra capacity for rowing
The Club always welcomes new members of all ages regardless of experience and has free “have a go” sessions . More information is available from our Secretary at haylegigclub@gmail.com
Thank you Tracey Phillips for this great information
