Project Summary
Firth of Clyde Coastal Rowing Club has an ongoing requirement for essential safety equipment, including buoyancy aids, throw lines and first aid supplies to ensure all members and new participants can enjoy the sport safely.Project Description
Firth of Clyde Coastal Rowing Club is a community-based rowing club founded in 2012. We are based at Largs Yacht Haven and row two self-built St Ayles skiffs, 'Saltire' and 'Thistle' which are used for regular training sessions, recreational rowing, community activities, and participation in coastal rowing events. We strongly adhere to The Scottish Coastal Rowing Association (SCRA) ethos of community spirit and inclusiveness. We provide an outlet for people of a wide age range (youngest currently 18 yrs, oldest >80 yrs) to partake in outdoor exercise in a socially beneficial, friendly environment. We are a welcoming and inclusive club, and no previous rowing experience is needed to join. We believe participation in Coastal Rowing is wholly beneficial to our membership's physical and mental health. Additionally, we have participated in environmental monitoring of micro-plastics in our seas locally, results being collated by the SCRA
By its very nature, our club has an ongoing requirement for essential safety equipment, including buoyancy aids, throw lines and first aid supplies to ensure all members and new participants can enjoy the sport safely. If we are successful in our bid, the funds from Locality PB will go a long way in helping us with the costs of providing this equipment and be hugely appreciated by all concerned. I am not able to supply an exact quotation for items we currently require at this time but should be able to do so in due course. Currently, we estimate our 'shopping list' could be in the region of £850.

Location: Largely the Largs area but also including wider North Ayrshire and surrounding coastal areas. Also further afield from time to time when attending regattas and rowing events (eg Ullapool/Troon/Loch Ken)
Proposed on behalf of: Firth of Clyde Coastal Rowing Club is a volunteer-led community sports club with, at time of writing, 82 members. We operate two St Ayles Skiffs, which are used for regular training sessions, recreational rowing, community activities, and participation in coastal rowing events. Our aim is to provide a welcoming, affordable, and inclusive environment where people of all abilities can enjoy the many physical, social, and wellbeing benefits of being involved in rowing. We are proud that our membership represents a wide range of ages, from our youngest member at 18 years old to our oldest member at 82 years old.
